Design and performance of the G-Master series - without compromise

The new GM FE 100-400 mm model, a super telephoto Zoom lens that meets the high standards of the highly acclaimed G-Master lens series from Sony. It ensures outstanding sharpness right up to the edge of the image and an appealing "bokeh" or background blur throughout the Zoom and focus range of the lens.

The complex design consists of 22 lens elements configured in 16 different groups, including one Super ED and two ED glass elements (ED = Extra Low Dispersion). Together, these elements minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure that the ultimate resolution is captured. The lens also features Sony's original Nano Coating, which minimizes unwanted reflections, making it particularly useful for sports or nature photography

.

Precise, responsive autofocus

To keep up with fast-paced action, the GM FE 100-400mm super telephoto Zoomlens features a combination of a dual linear motor and a Direct Drive SSM actuator, which also ensures precise, smooth operation

.

The dual motor system allows the lens drive to accelerate when focusing to capture the fast movements typical of sports and nature photography. At the same time, extremely precise position control and an optimized autofocus algorithm ensure that the subject is found and focused quickly. This maximizes the autofocus performance of a camera like the new α9

.

Lightweight design, comprehensive customization options

To meet the high expectations of professional photographers, the new GM FE 100-400 mm is one of the lightest in its class, weighing just 1,395 grams, and is the ideal complement to the numerous compact design cameras from Sony

.

In functional terms, the lens - a first for Sony α - is equipped with an adjustment ring for the Zoom torque. This allows the user to adjust the rotation in the ring so that the Zoom is faster or slower, depending on the individual shooting style. The lens also has a focus hold button to which various functions can be assigned, including focus mode selection, autofocus 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 element to facilitate the removal of dust or grease deposits

. In addition,

the lens offers a removable tripod mount

.

Professional operation and reliability

The new GM FE 100-400 mm lens offers integrated optical image stabilization, which ensures sharp images during hand-held shooting. The minimum focus range of just 0.98 meters allows for maximum versatility in outdoor applications, and the 9-blade circular aperture provides smooth, pleasing bokeh
