G Master resolution and exquisite bokeh contribute to the impressive macro capabilities of the Sony FE 100mm f2.8 Macro GM OSS, a versatile lens that offers up to 1.4x magnification, or up to 2.8x with an optional teleconverter. Addtionally, advanced stabilization and macro-optimized operability deliver unprecedented macro potential for both still images and movies. The Sony FE 100mm f2.8 Macro GM OSS brings flowers, insects, and other subjects to life with with details normally hidden to the naked eye.
Up to 1.4x magnification, or 2.8x with optional teleconverter
Magnification higher than 1:1 and a 0.26 m (0.86 ft) minimum focus distance make this lens ideal for macro photography. Close-up capability with high magnification makes it possible to capture barely invisible details from fresh perspectives. Teleconverter support enables up to 2.8x magnification that can reveal new levels of detail and texture while providing ample working distance for a wide range of subjects.
Breathtaking G Master resolution and bokeh
Advanced optical design optimizes element layout while floating focus minimizes aberration variations that are common in macro lenses for high resolution even in extreme close-ups. Nano AR Coating II boosts contrast and clarity by suppressing flare and ghosting. An F2.8 aperture, two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements, and an 11-blade aperture add up to gorgeous G Master bokeh.
Refined optical image stabilization minimizes macro shake
This superb lens features optical image stabilization that has been carefully tuned for macro shooting where sharpness is critical, including a new control system that delivers improved angle, shift, and depth control for precise, reliable handheld macro stabilization. Compatible α bodies additionally enable lens-body communication that enhances stabilization for both stills and movies (Active Mode).
Fast, precise, quiet AF keeps the creativity flowing
Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the floating focus group for up to 1.9x faster AF5 over a wide range in the AF-S mode. Tracking is excellent too, making it easier to shoot fast-moving macro subjects such as bees on flowers. This system easily keeps up with the 120 fps maximum speed of the α9 III. Focus drive is quiet too, so focus noise won’t intrude on the audio track when shooting video.
Extra durability and reliability for challenging outdoor conditions
Silicone gaskets around all buttons and switches, a rubber ring seal for the lens mount, and other refinements constitute an effective dust and moisture resistant design that maximizes reliability in challenging outdoor conditions. The front lens element has a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes them easy to wipe away if they do become attached to the lens surface.
Lens Configuration
G Master™ series lenses take imaging and expression to previously unattainable levels with a stunning blend of extremely high resolution and softly dissolving background bokeh.
