Sony FE 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 GM OSS review
The Sony FE 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 G Master is a telephoto zoom for its e-mount mirrorless cameras, and corrected for use on full-frame bodies. Announced alongside the professional Alpha A9 body, it delivers the longest reach of Sony's native e-mount lenses to date.

Excellent Optics; doesn't zoom smoothly though
The optics from this lens are first-rate; as good or better than the Canon 100-400 L ii lens and better than Sony's 70-200 F4 offering. However, my copy of the lens has a definite grinding feel when zooming down from 200-100mm in focal length, and that concerns me that the gearing might have a...

Sony announced the super telephoto FE 100-400mm F4.5–5.6 GM OSS lens at the same time as its professional-level A9 full-frame compact system camera. It represents the longest focal length to-date from Sony for the E mount, and is aimed pretty squarely at professional sports, wildlife and action...

- Solid telephoto zoom range
- In-lens stabilization
- Adjustable zoom tension
- Focus hold and limit functions
- Compact, lightweight design
- Sturdy, dust- and moisture-resistant construction
- Removable tripod foot
- Teleconverter compatibility

Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS Review
The FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS fills a telephoto gap in Sony's premium lens lineup, packing crisp optics, fast autofocus, and strong image stabilization into a compact, lightweight telezoom. Sony's full-frame mirrorless camera line has been bolstered by the addition of the a9 body, which shoots at an incredible 20fps rate, but the system is a little light on telephoto lens options. The FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS ($2,499.99) enjoys status as the lens with the longest reach in the family, and if you have enough light you can tighten its field of coverage further using a teleconverter. It's pricier than similar lenses for SLR systems, but backs it up with excellent image quality, a rock-solid build, and speedy autofocus. Design The FE 100-400mm ($2,499.99 at Amazon) is part of the G Master lens series, a designation Sony gives to its top-end lenses, designed to deliver excellent results on high-res image sensors, and to render out-of-focus areas with pleasing smoothness. It also means the lens is built tough—optics are housed in a gray metal barrel so you can feel comfortable shooting in rough weather. The front element is coated with fluorine, which helps to prevent o...
Pros:
- Solid telephoto zoom range
- In-lens stabilization
- Adjustable zoom tension
- Focus hold and limit functions
- Compact, lightweight design
- Sturdy, dust- and moisture-resistant construction
- Removable tripod foot
- Teleconverter compatibility
