Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS
The FE 100-400mm delivers excellent image quality, a pro-grade build, fast autofocus, and strong image stabilization. There's a little distortion and some corner dimness to contend with, though both are easily removed with some light editing.
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
Cons:
- Not the brightest aperture
- Extends when zoomed
- Dim corners when shot wide open
- Pricier than similar lenses for other systems

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...

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.

Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS - Review / Test Report
In an era in which long tele zoom lenses are reaching 600mm, the 100-400mm class may almost feel dated, but it still exists. For a good reason, actually.
