Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens: Sharp Super-Telephoto Zoom with Tenacious AF for Full-Frame E-Mount
Capture distant action with extraordinary quality and immediacy across Sydney and Australia with the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens. As the first super-telephoto zoom in Sony’s flagship G Master series, this versatile lens covers a significant 100mm to 400mm range with exceptional resolution and fast, precise autofocus. Ideal for sports, wildlife, and similar subjects, its image quality and AF performance meet the demanding needs of professional photographers. Experience world-class image quality combined with the mobility, reliability, and operability that your professional applications require, whether you're shooting the fast-paced action of Sydney's sporting events or the unique wildlife of the Australian outback.
The 100mm to 400mm zoom range provides incredible versatility for capturing subjects at a distance, while the precision G Master optics ensure consistently high corner-to-corner resolution at any focusing distance throughout the entire zoom range. The autofocus system utilizes an optimal combination of a double linear motor and DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) drive systems, achieving quick response, high accuracy, and tenacious tracking – essential for capturing fast-moving subjects with clarity.
Despite its powerful reach, this lens is designed to be compact, lightweight, and mobile. Innovative modular exterior construction and magnesium components reduce weight and size, improving portability and mobility for photographers on the move across Australia. The floating focus mechanism achieves a minimum focus distance of just 0.98 meters (3.22ft.), allowing you to track and shoot subjects at any distance with a single lens.
The advanced lens configuration includes Super ED glass and ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure sharp, clear images. Sony's Nano AR Coating eliminates flare and ghosting, maintaining high contrast even in bright sunlight. The circular 9-blade aperture contributes to beautiful, smooth defocus effects (bokeh), allowing you to isolate your subjects effectively. The built-in Optical SteadyShot™ (OSS) image stabilization minimizes camera shake, providing sharper images when shooting handheld at long focal lengths. The lens also features a dust and moisture-resistant design for reliable performance in various weather conditions across Australia.
