The 1.4x macro capability is a compelling reason to purchase this lens. I have the 90mm Sony 1:1 macro that I will be keeping as well. These two complement each other very well.

Incredible in every way but most amazing is how I was able to hand hold in low light at 40ss and get 1.4x macro on a water droplet tack sharp. The face I can use this for macro and also for shooting action with my husky is a game changer. Thankyou Sony ??

I bought this couple of weeks ago. I took some flower photos at home. The lens is fantastic sharp , contrasty. Fast focussing. I paired with Sony A1.

Sony FE 100mm F2.8 GM OSS Macro Lens is a unique medium telephoto macro lens with 1.4x magnification, up to 2.8x with an optional teleconverter, incredible G Master resolution, bokeh, autofocus, and handling.
This G Master macro lens offers up to 1.4x magnification, or up to 2.8x magnification with an optional teleconverter. Advanced stabilization and macro-optimized operability deliver unprecedented control for stills and movies where focus is critical.

Close-up capability with more than a 1:1 magnification ratio makes it possible to capture details and textures that are normally invisible to the naked eye in creative new ways. This lens offers a 0.26 m (0.86 ft) minimum focus distance.

Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements suppress chromatic and other aberration for superior resolution right out to the image edges. Floating focus minimizes aberration variations for superb resolution at close focus. Nano AR Coating II controls flare and ghosting for excellent contrast and clarity.

11-blade aperture unit helps to create gorgeous G Master bokeh that has minimal coloration. Refined bokeh contributes to beautiful, impressively dimensional imagery.

Advanced optical image stabilization is optimized for macro shooting where sharpness is critical, and a new control system achieves improved angle, shift, and depth control for precise handheld stabilization.


Tracking is fast too, making it easier to shooting active macro subjects. This system easily keeps up with the 120 fps maximum speed of the α9 III. Focus drive is quiet too, making it ideal for movie shooting.
Precise focus is essential when shooting with a narrow depth of field, and this remarkable lens ensures that it is easy to achieve. After following a moving subject in AF-C mode, the MF mode can be quickly selected via the AF/MF switch and used with focus magnification to refine and finalize focus.

If focus is on the wrong subject, it can be returned to the intended subject simply by rotating the focus ring in the lens’s DMF mode. Sliding the focus ring back and forth switches between the AF/MF and FULL MF modes, with the latter providing distance and magnification scales that are ideal for macro shooting.

When using AF, pressing a focus hold button maintains focus at the current setting for as long as the button is held. The focus hold buttons can be assigned different functions for different situations. Focus magnification can be assigned to the focus hold buttons, for example, so that it can be quickly activated for precise focus confirmation.

Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise. Linear Response MF also enables smooth, accurate manual focus shifts when shooting movies.

Buttons and switches sealed with silicone gaskets, a rubber ring that seals the lens mount, and other measures prevent the incursion of dust and moisture even in challenging outdoor conditions. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean.
