From the renowned G Master series by Sony, the FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E is a super-telephoto zoom lens that offers an impressive range of 100mm to 400mm. This lens is designed to deliver extraordinary resolution, fast and precise autofocus, enabling you to capture distant action with exceptional quality and immediacy. This high-performance G Master zoom lens is ideal for professional applications, including sports, wildlife, and other subjects that require a long reach. It offers image quality and AF performance that supports professional fieldwork, ensuring fast-moving subjects are tracked and captured with outstanding resolution and clarity. The lens features a unique combination of double linear motor and DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) drive systems, a first in its class. This system, coupled with precision sensors, provides real-time feedback for extremely high positioning accuracy, allowing the camera's AF system to perform at its peak. The FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E ensures consistently high corner-to-corner resolution at any focusing distance throughout the lens's zoom range. Whether you're shooting distant subjects at super-telephoto focal lengths or capturing nearby subjects, this lens delivers stunning images. The lens's advanced optical design includes two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one Super ED glass element, effectively suppressing axial chromatic aberration often found in telephoto lenses. This results in exceptionally clear, well-defined images. Sony's Nano AR Coating is applied to suppress spurious reflections that can cause flare and ghosting in backlit and other challenging lighting situations, ensuring consistently high contrast and clarity. This feature enhances framing and composing flexibility, particularly when shooting in bright outdoor conditions. The lens is compact, lightweight, and mobile, thanks to magnesium alloy components and other refinements. These contribute to high durability as well as class-leading size and weight reductions, improving manageability with lightweight bodies for easier, more stable handheld shooting. The FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E is the first lens to include a zoom smoothness adjuster that provides mechanical control of zoom ring torque. This allows for fine adjustment of the lens to match individual user needs. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization makes it easier to capture blur-free images, particularly when shooting sports or other subjects that require fast stabilization response. Mode 2 stabilization facilitates dynamic panned shots, and 5-axis stabilization becomes available when used with series bodies that feature in-body stabilization. The lens offers outstanding shooting versatility with a minimum focus distance of just 3.22 feet (0.98 meters) and up to 0.35x magnification. It also features conveniently located focus hold buttons for control even during continuous AF operation, a removable tripod mount for quick attachment or removal, and compatibility with high-performance SEL14TC and SEL20TC teleconverters for increased focal length. The lens's front element features a fluorine coating that helps to prevent dirt and fingerprints from sticking, and makes it easier to wipe dirt and fingerprints away if they do become attached to the lens surface. This can be a significant advantage for outdoor shooting. The overall design of this lens is dust and moisture resistant for extra protection and reliable operation in challenging environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions. The lens hood features an access window for easy operation of polarizing filters and a hood lock switch to prevent accidental detachment or rotation of the lens hood while shooting or moving around. In summary, the FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens for Sony E is a versatile, high-quality, and reliable lens that delivers professional-grade performance in a compact and lightweight design.

barely a month old and already has dust on the inside of the lens affecting picture quality. Major regret buying this, i didn't go second hand as i didn't want dust in such a expensive lens... May as well have saved myself the money.

Its a month old and already has dust inside.

Great lens, I'm on a learning curve with it but I'm getting more right than wrong. The picture quality is amazing and focus is super quick.

Great lens

I love this lens. it is a beast!! I shot this at an insane distance, straight out of the gates with no messing on any settings or firmware updates

amazing lens

Needed a longer zoom lens, and after doing a lot of checking with other makes, weight, size, price and other reviews, decided on this 100-400mm.
Glad i did, very fast focusing, lovely smooth zooming in and out and not too heavy, even with a vertical grip, was able to do hand held shoots.
Picture quality was excellent.

Impressed.

This lens is fantastic and so versitile and probably the most versitle lens you can buy, its very sharp and paired with the a9ii and the a1 it gives exceptional results, the best thing it has a minum focus rage of 1mtr so for semi macro especially butterflies which are notoriously difficult to get close to this lens is a game changer as well as the reach for wildlife with 400mm

Versatile

Absolutely in love! Amazing lens, such a good quality can catch every detail

Amazing quality

Excellent build quality. High quality construction. Not as heavy as I thought it would be, which is good.

Has three assignable buttons one can use in portrait/landscape orientations. Detachable foot. Slide door on hood enabling access when wanting to adjust circular polarizing filter--all very practical.

The focus ring is buttery smooth, as is the focal length adjustment ring--very good for video use.

The optical image stabilization works seamlessly on my A7RIII. At 400mm, I have been able to take sharp images hand held at 1/80th of a second shutter speed.

The lens is very very sharp at all focal lengths, which is why I said "Why Buy the 70-200 GM When You Can Have the 100-400GM?" If you need a telephoto zoom for portraits in low light, this is not your lens. But I feel very comfortable saying this lens would make an excellent portrait lens in studio and outdoors in good lighting. Don't forget 400mm at 5.6 isolates the subject and blows out the background just as well as 135mm or 200mm at f/2.8. No need to worry so much a HSS to get that effect, either.

Why get the 70-200 when you can get the 100-400!?

I hired this lens for two holidays before taking the plunge and buying one for myself. I've been thrilled with the sharp images I've obtained of wildlife. 400mm is enough to capture animals at some distance without being so heavy that I can't hold it steady. 100mm is short enough for the animals that come somewhat closer. It's an excellent lens which works well with my A7iii camera.

Favourite lens for wildlife

Very sharp images even at 400mm. Price is steep for f4.5-5.6.

So far ? GMaster lenses have lived up to expectations.

I rented a copy of this lens to assess the dífference as it is quite expensive. It was apparent after the first day this was the balance of performance, focal length and weight was excellent. I traded two thirds party lenses, both very good, when I bought this lens.

Fast and sharp without being too heavy

takes too long to focus often, very disappointed, i have all g masters and thought they would be faster and keep focused.

not as good as it should be for the money

so far so good. clear, focuses well and not so heavy to cause sore arms neck etc

lovely lens. Nice weight for carrying around.

So happy with my new camera and lenses. Great quality pics with ease of use. Far exceeded my expectations

Camera and lenses

Excellent lens, sharp and quick AF. Much smaller and lighter for travel than my 200-600. Works great with both the 1.4 and 2.0 TC when there is enough light for the F-stop reduction. Has short minimum focal distance and have used for everything from wildlife to sports, landscape, flower closeup and portrait. Primarily use for travel when I don't carry 2 bodies fitted with other lens. Big disappointment is no zoom lock on external zoom GM lens. Has softer/tighter ring but lens creeps even on tighter setting. I knew this when I bought it but other features offset.

Sharp, light, and quick AF with 1.4 and 2.0 PCs

Great option for the focal length, for the price it appears to be the highest quality. Sharp and clear overall.

Sharp and affordable

Have had for about 5 years. It is truly great. No regrets about spending all the money.

Great "Bad Boy" Lens

I bought this a month ago to replace my Sigma 60-600 F4.5-6.3 DG and I have regretted my decision. I switched because Sony's 100-400 is a much lighter zoom lens. But its performance is far from meeting my expectation. First, it takes much longer to focus and second, the quality of the photos is far from satisfactory. There lacks a zoom lock and so it just "zooms" out whenever it is left dangling down from my shoulder. I probably would need to look for another replacement soon.

Disappointment

I bought this lenses as the 2-600mm became too heavy for my injured shoulder. Although I have been totally satisfied using my 70-200mm with the 2X TC, the added reach combined with great autofocus, sharpness and lighter weight make this lens my "go to" for birds.

Great at Every Level

A compact and fairly light lens which I have used for sports photography eg. football and the optical quality is superb

superb Quality for build and optics

Having owned the excellent A-mount 70-400 f4-5.6, which traveled with me for mainly wildlife photography all over the world, I wanted the performance benefits of this lens with the Alpha 7 etc series of FE mount bodies, in particular the ability to use the telephoto converters with a rich range of features. I am delighted to have made the transition. Results with and without the TCs are excellent and the autofocus features are a real pleasure. Highly recommended.

Great, powerful, travel telephoto

Had this 3 weeks and it is a superb example of a 100-400 professional zoom.

Creme de la creme.

Ive been wanting this lens for a couple years but i kept not buying it because its so expensive. And being retired money is not easy to come by. Im 75 years old now so it was really a want instead of a need. So i just want to let others know that this lens is awesome and a definite keeper. Wish i could have bought it sooner. I have a Sony telephoto 70 to 200 f4. But found it just didn't have the reach i wanted a lot of the time. I read the reviews of others trying different brands and they didn't seem satisfied so thats why i got the Sony?.its focus is amazing and I'm totally satisfied.

My long wait is over

I bought one of these about 3-4 years ago when I first changed over to Sony as, other than the 400 f2.8, it was the biggest lens that Sony did. Soon after though, they brought out the 200-600 so I bought one of those as well. Last year I bout the 400 f2.8 and decided to sell my 100-400 to a friend. Big mistake as the 100-400 is so good and so useful so.... I bought aniother copy a few weeks back

Fabulous quality

I have owned this lens for 3mth. It's a great lens for wildlife and other types of photography. I use it predominantly handheld and have some great results. It's a pity the zoom isn't internal like the 200 -600, in hides when zooming in and out particularly behind glass mean moving back and forwards. 
The lens is light weight enough to use for a long session handheld and travel. I do on occasions use the 1.4x extender and again have had some great results.
If you're looking for a versatile lens that give great results, then this is a good choice.

I bought the lens seconhand from LCE recently as a treat for myself after coming into some money, as I have always dreamt of owning it. It is paired with my Sony A9 and what an amazing combination it has turned out to be. It is a bit of a learning curve how to use it, with the incredible focal range, but I am getting used to it now. It's great for landscapes, wildlife, portraits of the family and of course sports (but not yet had chance to try this yet). The image quality is out of this world even when zoomed fully in, the build quality is of course excellent for a GM lens and it has now opened up a whole new world of photography for me!

Absolutely awesome lens!

I've had this lens for a few months now,very happy with it,excellent quality.

Excellent lens,fast auto focus Excellent picture q

Image quality is superb, reminds me of my old Sony A mount 70-400G but seems lighter and easier to handle. I find the zoom ring a bit stiff even on the smooth setting compared to similar zooms from Canon and Nikon. All in all an excellent lens.

FE100-400GM

Spent the last few years using various other telephotos such as the sigma 100-400 and the Tamron 70-300, mainly because they?re cheaper. Finally decided to take the plunge and spend a little more (double). All I can say is I should?ve gone straight for the Sony! Better in every way and just pure joy to use. Puts a smile on my face every time I pick it up!

Exceptional lens

Got this for wildlife photos and it does not disappoint. Very happy with the image quality and how responsive the lens is.
