Sony - FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Super Telephoto Zoom Lens for Sony E-mount Cameras

From the renowned G Master series by Sony, the FE 100-400mm f/ 4.5 - 5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E is a super-telephoto zoom lens that offers an impressive range of 100mm to 400mm. This lens is designed to deliver extraordinary resolution, fast and precise autofocus, enabling you to capture distant action with exceptional quality and immediacy. This high-performance G Master zoom lens is ideal for professional applications, including sports, wildlife, and other subjects that require a long reach. It offers image quality and AF performance that supports professional fieldwork, ensuring fast-moving subjects are tracked and captured with outstanding resolution and clarity.

The lens features a unique combination of double linear motor and DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) drive systems, a first in its class. This system, coupled with precision sensors, provides real-time feedback for extremely high positioning accuracy, allowing the camera's AF system to perform at its peak. The FE 100-400mm f/ 4.5 - 5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E ensures consistently high corner-to-corner resolution at any focusing distance throughout the lens's zoom range. Whether you're shooting distant subjects at super-telephoto focal lengths or capturing nearby subjects, this lens delivers stunning images.

The lens's advanced optical design includes two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one Super ED glass element, effectively suppressing axial chromatic aberration often found in telephoto lenses. This results in exceptionally clear, well-defined images. Sony's Nano AR Coating is applied to suppress spurious reflections that can cause flare and ghosting in backlit and other challenging lighting situations, ensuring consistently high contrast and clarity. This feature enhances framing and composing flexibility, particularly when shooting in bright outdoor conditions. The lens is compact, lightweight, and mobile, thanks to magnesium alloy components and other refinements.

These contribute to high durability as well as class-leading size and weight reductions, improving manageability with lightweight bodies for easier, more stable handheld shooting. The FE 100-400mm f/ 4.5 - 5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E is the first lens to include a zoom smoothness adjuster that provides mechanical control of zoom ring torque. This allows for fine adjustment of the lens to match individual user needs. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization makes it easier to capture blur-free images, particularly when shooting sports or other subjects that require fast stabilization response. Mode 2 stabilization facilitates dynamic panned shots, and 5-axis stabilization becomes available when used with series bodies that feature in-body stabilization.

The lens offers outstanding shooting versatility with a minimum focus distance of just 3.22 feet ( 0.98 meters) and up to 0.35 x magnification. It also features conveniently located focus hold buttons for control even during continuous AF operation, a removable tripod mount for quick attachment or removal, and compatibility with high-performance SEL14TC and SEL20TC teleconverters for increased focal length. The lens's front element features a fluorine coating that helps to prevent dirt and fingerprints from sticking, and makes it easier to wipe dirt and fingerprints away if they do become attached to the lens surface.

This can be a significant advantage for outdoor shooting. The overall design of this lens is dust and moisture resistant for extra protection and reliable operation in challenging environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions. The lens hood features an access window for easy operation of polarizing filters and a hood lock switch to prevent accidental detachment or rotation of the lens hood while shooting or moving around. In summary, the FE 100-400mm f/ 4.5 - 5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E is a versatile, high-quality, and reliable lens that delivers professional-grade performance in a compact and lightweight design.
