Best telephoto lens for the sony a6400?

For the a6400, I'd start with the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS. On this APS-C body it frames like 300-900mm, which is plenty for wildlife and sport. The a6400 has no stabilisation in the body, so the lens's OSS matters at long focal lengths.

If you want more reach for less, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports goes out to a similar 900mm equivalent. For a faster, more versatile option, the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5 GM OSS frames like 150-600mm and is a stronger choice in low light.

Long telephoto lenses are big, so check the sensor sizes trade-offs before you buy. For more on lens choice by subject, see wildlife and sport.
