DESCRIPTION
The Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens is a premium telephoto zoom lens engineered for professional sports, wildlife, aviation, and action photography. As part of Sony’s renowned G Master series, it delivers exceptional sharpness, fast and accurate autofocus, and beautiful background separation throughout the zoom range. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps maintain sharp handheld shots, while the lightweight and durable design ensures reliable performance in demanding shooting environments. Compatible with Sony full-frame E-mount cameras, this versatile lens is ideal for capturing distant subjects with incredible detail and clarity.
G Master Optical Performance
The Sony FE 100-400mm f4.5 GM OSS Lens features a consistent f/4.5 maximum aperture, this assist in faster performance at the long end while still contributing to a portable and lightweight handholdable design.
ED XA, XA, Super ED, and ED elements provide high sharpness and smooth rendering, suiting distant and backlit subjects, especially when working with busy backgrounds and strong lighting.
A Nano AR Coating II suppresses flare for rich contrast and bright colours in a variety of lighting conditions. The rounded 11-blade diaphragm results in smooth, circular bokhes.
High-Speed AF, Reliable OSS
Autofocus performance is driven by four XD (extreme dynamic) Linear motors to provide fast, accurate and quiet autofocus that is well-suited for both video and still performance. This system is compatible with continuous shooting speeds of up to 120 fps or high-speed video at up to 240 fps. Internal focusing promotes faster speeds and maintains the lens's overall length, which assists in this lens being about 3x faster, and tracking is improved by 50% with more accurate subject tracking.
Internal zoom ensures a constant length of the lens and keeps a consistent centre of gravity with most weight to the rear of the lens for easier handheld, gimbal and tripod use.
Intuitive Operability and Design
For intuitive and ease of handling, the Sony FE 100-400mm f4.5 GM OSS Lens features internal zoom and focus design along with a constant f/4.5 maximum aperture.
The FE 100-400mm f/4.5 accepts both a 40.5mm rear drop-in lens filter, along with a 95mm front screw-in filter.
Along the lens barrel, you will find four programmable focus hold buttons and a focus mode switch for intuitive focus control. Customisable Function Ring can be assigned to control a variety of camera and exposure settings.
The FE 100-400mm f4.5 GM OSS features a dust- and moisture-resistant design that includes rubber gaskets at each seam and a rubber ring sealing at the lens mount to ensure the lens can be used in inclement weather conditions. Construction makes use of hybrid metal and plastic components for maximum durability and lighter overall weight. Included, you will find a lens hood with a locking button and filter window for easy adjustment of variable filters.
The front lens element features a fluorine coating to repel water, oil, and other debris for easy cleaning. You will also find a removable tripod collar has a clicking design to help align when rotating between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
