Its a month old and already has dust inside.

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.

Impressed.

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.

Versatile

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

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

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.

Favourite lens for wildlife

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.

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

Fast and sharp without being too heavy

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.

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

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.

Disappointment

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.

Great at Every Level

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, powerful, travel telephoto

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.

My long wait is over

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.

Fabulous quality

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

Great lens

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.

Absolutely awesome lens!

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!

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.

Exceptional lens

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!

Fast and sharp lens for action photography.

By Peter4862

Used this lens for the first time for action-shots four days ago. The results are amazing, even when used during sunset. All at 400mm f5.6 1/1000sec ISO640.

Excellent Quality Lens

By BarbsC

Owned the lens for about a month and have done quite a bit of hand held bird life and surfing photos. I am delighted with the quality at all focal lengths. Only negatives are the price, which is the most I have ever spent on a lens, and the weight, but I guess without that the quality of construction wouldn't be possible. Am yet to try it on the tripod.

A pinnacle of Sony's esteemed G Master series, the FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens is a super-telephoto zoom lens that boasts a dynamic 100mm to 400mm focal range, catering to a diverse array of photography needs, from sports and wildlife to portraiture. Engineered for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, this lens is a testament to high-quality optics, delivering exceptional resolution and swift, precise autofocus capabilities that ensure your distant subjects are captured with striking clarity and immediacy.

The lens's advanced autofocus system is a harmonious blend of a double linear motor and the innovative Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM), a first in its class. This system, coupled with precision sensors, offers real-time feedback for extraordinary positioning accuracy, maximizing the potential of your camera's AF system. Whether tracking fast-moving subjects or capturing serene landscapes, the FE 100-400mm lens provides consistent high-resolution images across the entire zoom range.

Optical excellence is at the heart of this lens, with two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one Super ED glass element meticulously arranged to minimize chromatic aberration. This results in clear, well-defined images that exhibit natural rendering and true-to-life colors. Sony's Nano AR Coating further enhances image quality by reducing flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and clarity even in challenging lighting conditions.

Despite its super-telephoto capabilities, the FE 100-400mm lens is compact and lightweight, thanks to the use of magnesium alloy components. This not only contributes to its durability but also ensures it remains manageable and balanced, even when paired with lighter camera bodies. The lens's zoom torque adjustment feature allows for personalized zoom ring torque settings, catering to your preferred shooting style.

Capture crisp, blur-free images with the built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which is especially beneficial for handheld shooting in dynamic situations. When paired with compatible Sony bodies featuring in-body stabilization, the lens unlocks 5-axis stabilization, elevating your ability to produce steady shots without the need for a tripod.

The lens's floating focus mechanism and high positioning precision enable a minimum focus distance of just 3.22 feet (0.98 meters), with up to 0.35x magnification, adding to its versatility. The customizable focus hold buttons enhance operability, allowing for quick adjustments during continuous AF operation, and the removable tripod mount offers convenience for both tripod and handheld shooting.

For photographers seeking even greater reach, the FE 100-400mm lens is fully compatible with Sony's SEL14TC and SEL20TC teleconverters, extending the focal length up to an impressive 800mm (or 1200mm on APS-C format bodies). The front element's fluorine coating repels dirt and fingerprints, simplifying maintenance and ensuring the lens remains pristine in various shooting conditions.

Built to withstand the elements, the lens is designed with dust and moisture resistance, allowing photographers to shoot confidently in less-than-ideal weather conditions. The professional-grade lens hood features a convenient access window for polarizing filter operation and a lock switch to prevent accidental detachment or rotation.

In summary, the FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens is a high-quality, durable, and versatile addition to any photographer's kit, offering advanced features and innovative design for capturing life's moments with unparalleled precision and beauty.
