Sony Introduces Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS: Redefining Macro Photography to Unveil New Worlds
The First G Master™ Telephoto Macro Lens
Stunning detail with 1.4x magnification, advanced stabilization, and optimized macro controls
Sony launches the Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS, the first telephoto macro lens in the G Master™ series, compatible with α™ (Alpha™) E-mount cameras, featuring 1.4x magnification, advanced stabilization, and intuitive control.
“We are constantly striving to push the boundaries of creative possibilities, and the Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS is a testament to this commitment, exceeding the limits of traditional macro photography,” said Jazz Sidhar, Manager of Lens and Peripherals Marketing at Sony Europe B.V. “With its world-class optics, this new lens enhances not only macro photography but also portrait and wedding photography. We are delighted to offer the Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS as part of our acclaimed G Master series, providing the ultimate performance that Sony creators are accustomed to and rely on to perfect their art.”
Beyond the human eye
The Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS achieves a maximum magnification of 1.4x, making it easy to capture flowers, small objects, and other close-up subjects in vivid detail, revealing fine textures and characteristics that are difficult to capture with the naked eye.
Compatible with an optional teleconverteri (sold separately), the lens offers up to 2.8x magnification. This allows for impressive close-up shots while maintaining a comfortable working distance. It is ideal for subjects that are difficult to approach or for avoiding unwanted reflections.
Advanced Hardware Design
The optical design effectively positions elements, including two XA (extreme aspherical) lenses and two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, to achieve high resolution from the center to the periphery of the image, reducing chromatic and other aberrations.
To enable precise and intuitive focus adjustments for various macro photography scenes, the lens offers three functions designed for focusing: "Continuous DMF Switch" allows instant MF (manual focus) by rotating the focus ring, even in AF (autofocus) mode; "Focus Mode Switch" allows instant switching between AF and MF; "Sliding Focus Ring" allows FULL MF mode, linked to distance and magnification scales.
The four unique XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors, which enable high-speed, high-precision, and quiet lens drive, make autofocus (AF) up to 1.9 times fasteriii compared to previous models.
The dedicated aperture ring offers fast and direct control over aperture settings.
Exceptional Image Quality
The 11-blade circular aperture creates beautiful, round bokeh, while carefully controlled spherical aberration ensures an ideal balance between resolution and background defocus – creating the characteristic creamy bokeh of the G Master series.
The unique "Nano AR Coating II" applies an even thin film to the entire lens surface, resulting in clear image quality that suppresses unwanted flares even in backlit conditions.
The integrated optical image stabilization system, designed for macro photography, precisely compensates for shift shake (up/down/left/right), angular shake, and front/back shake, ensuring stable handheld shots.
