Product Description
The Sony E FE 100mm F2.8 GM Macro Lens is a premium G Master™ telephoto macro lens designed to reveal extraordinary detail. Offering up to 1.4x maximum magnification - or an impressive 2.8x when paired with an optional teleconverter - it opens up new creative possibilities for both stills and video. From delicate flowers to intricate insect textures, subjects come alive with clarity that is often invisible to the naked eye.
Up to 1.4x Magnification – 2.8x with Teleconverter
With magnification beyond 1:1 and a minimum focus distance of just 0.26m (0.86 ft), this lens is ideal for serious macro photography. The ability to reach up to 2.8x magnification with a compatible teleconverter allows photographers to capture astonishing levels of detail while maintaining a comfortable working distance from their subject.
G Master Resolution and Beautiful Bokeh
Engineered to the highest optical standards, this G Master lens delivers outstanding sharpness and smooth, creamy bokeh. A sophisticated optical design with floating focus minimises aberrations, ensuring exceptional resolution even at extreme close-up distances. Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements, Nano AR Coating II, and an 11-blade F2.8 aperture combine to produce images with superb contrast, clarity, and beautifully rendered backgrounds.
Advanced Optical Image Stabilisation
Macro photography demands precision, and this lens features refined Optical SteadyShot™ stabilisation specifically tuned for close-up work. A newly developed control system improves compensation for angular, shift, and depth movements, delivering reliable handheld performance. When paired with compatible Sony α bodies, enhanced lens-body communication further improves stabilisation for both still images and video, including Active Mode support.
Fast, Precise and Quiet Autofocus
Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the floating focus system, providing rapid, accurate and near-silent autofocus. Tracking performance is excellent, making it easier to capture moving macro subjects such as insects in motion. The quiet operation is especially beneficial for video recording, preventing focus noise from interfering with audio.
Macro-Optimised Focus Control
Designed with usability in mind, the lens offers intuitive focus control for close-up shooting. A dedicated AF/MF switch, focus limiter, and sliding focus ring allow quick transitions between autofocus and manual focus modes. Distance and magnification scales provide additional precision, making fine adjustments simple and efficient.
Durable Design for Outdoor Shooting
Built for demanding conditions, the lens features dust and moisture resistance with silicone gaskets around buttons and switches, plus a rubber seal at the mount. A fluorine coating on the front element repels dust, water and fingerprints, making cleaning quick and easy - ideal for outdoor macro adventures.
G Master Optical Construction
As part of the G Master series, this lens is designed to achieve an exceptional balance between ultra-high resolution and smooth background defocus. Advanced optical engineering ensures consistently high image quality across the frame, meeting the needs of professional photographers and videographers alike.
