Features of the SONY 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 GM lens

A super telephoto zoom that meets the intense build requirements of SONY's acclaimed G Master series lens range, the new FE 100-400mm GM model produces exceptional corner-to-corner sharpness through zoom and lens focus ranges and beautiful background blur bokeh, Ensuring the best details are carried out in every theme and scene.

The complex design features 22 lens elements configured in 16 different groups, including a Super ED (Extra Low Dispersion) and two ED glass elements, all of which are working together to minimize chromatic aberration and ensure maximum resolution. The lens also has SONY's original Nano AR coating, which is particularly useful for photographing sports scenes or for wildlife, as it reduces unwanted reflections.

In order to keep up with the fast-moving action, the new GM 100-400mm super telephoto zoom lens offers the combination of a dual linear motor and a Direct Drive SSM actuator, which also ensures precise and quiet operation.

The dual-motor system allows for rapid acceleration of the focus unit to capture the sudden motion that is common with sports and wildlife photography, while high-precision positioning control and a newly optimized AF algorithm ensure the subject is quickly found and focused on. This ensures that the maximum AF performance of a camera like the new α9 is achieved.

In order to meet the demanding demands of customers who want lighter, smaller and portable super telephoto lenses, the new FE 100-400mm GM weighs a mere 1,395 grams (49.3 ounces), making it the lightest in its class and ideally suited to SONY's wide range of compact cameras.

Functionally, the lens has a zoom torque adjustment ring – a first for SONY α – that allows the user to adjust the torque level in the ring for faster or slower zoom depending on their shooting style. There's also a focus hold button that can also be assigned to a variety of functions, such as focus mode selection, AF area selection, or the popular eye AF lock function.

The telephoto zoom lens is dust and moisture resistant, and has a fluorine coating on the front lens that makes it easy to remove dust or grease. There is also a removable tripod stand.

Professional operation and reliability
The new FE 100-400mm GM lens incorporates optical image stabilization, ensuring sharp images are captured during manual shooting. It also offers a minimum focus range of just 0.98 meters (3.22 feet), maximizing its versatility in the field, and a 9-blade circular aperture design that produces smooth and beautiful bokeh.
The FE 100-400mm GM is compatible with 1.4x (SEL14TC model) and 2.0x (SEL20TC model) teleconverters, allowing photographers and videographers to shoot up to 800mm on full-frame cameras and approximately 1200mm (35mm equivalent) on APS-C cameras.
