Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM Lens (Sony E)

Becoming the first proper macro in the renowned G Master line, the Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM Lens offers outstanding image quality, a greater-than-life-size 1.4x maximum magnification, and an array of physical controls and dials to improve the close-up photography experience. The medium-telephoto prime can also serve as a general-purpose lens with built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization—ideal for handheld shooting on location or in the studio for portraits, weddings, and more.

Advanced Close-Up Shooting
Boasting a greater-than-life-size 1.4x maximum magnification, this macro lens delivers excellent close-up shooting capabilities.

• Minimum focus distance of 10.2" enables maximum magnification of 1.4x with a working distance of 3.5".

• The focusing ring can be slid forward or backward to quickly switch between manual and autofocus modes.

• Focus distance and magnification scale are printed on top of the lens to assist with precise manual focusing.

• Focus range limiter switch allows for setting ranges of 10.2–27.6", 19.7"–infinity, or 10.2"–infinity to improve autofocus speed and responsiveness.

• Supports separately available teleconverters to increase maximum magnification up to 2.8x.

G Master Optical Quality
As the first true macro lens in Sony’s flagship G Master series, the FE 100mm f/2.8 GM incorporates some of Sony’s most advanced optical technologies to ensure exceptional sharpness and smooth bokeh.

• Advanced optical design with 17 elements in 13 groups, including two XA (Extreme Aspherical) and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements to minimize aberrations.

• Nano AR Coating II effectively suppresses flare, ghosting, and internal reflections for improved contrast.

• Internal focus ensures a consistent lens size throughout the focusing range.

• Floating focus design allows for a more compact form factor.

• 11-blade circular aperture diaphragm creates smooth, rounded bokeh.

Autofocus and Image Stabilization
Packed with advanced technologies, the FE 100mm Macro features a fast and precise autofocus system paired with built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization.

• Four near-silent XD Linear Motors drive the autofocus system for speeds up to 1.9x faster than the FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS, fully supporting the 120 fps burst shooting of the a9 III and 4K 120p recording modes.

• Floating focus minimizes aberrations at close-focus distances and maintains a compact lens length.

• Internal focus keeps the lens size constant regardless of focus distance.

• Advanced Optical SteadyShot stabilization optimized for macro shooting.

• Built-in stabilization supports body-lens coordinated control for maximum effectiveness when paired with sensor-shift-stabilized camera bodies.

Advanced Controls and Ergonomics
This lens is designed to provide photographers with all the controls they need at their fingertips for intuitive and efficient operation.

• Focus range limiter switch allows users to constrain focus range for faster AF performance.

• Manual focus ring can be slid back and forth to switch between auto and manual focus and features printed distance and magnification scales.

• Physical aperture ring allows quick, tactile control of aperture settings.

• De-click switch removes click stops from the aperture ring for smooth aperture changes during video capture.

• Iris lock switch prevents accidental shifts between the “A” and manual aperture settings.

• Full-time DMF switch enables or disables Direct Manual Focus control.

• SteadyShot switch toggles optical image stabilization on or off.

• Two customizable focus hold buttons can maintain focus position or be assigned other functions.

• Focus mode switch allows manual or autofocus selection directly from the lens.

• Dust- and moisture-resistant construction with fluorine coating on the front element helps repel water, oil, and dirt.

• Includes the ALC-SH173 Lens Hood for reducing flare and protecting the front element.

Teleconverter Compatibility
The FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM is compatible with Sony’s separately available 1.4x and 2x Teleconverters. When used, photographers and videographers can achieve longer effective focal lengths and increased magnification—ideal for subjects requiring extra reach or distance.

• The 1.4x Teleconverter provides a 2x maximum magnification with an effective focal length of 140mm and an f/4 maximum aperture.

• The 2x Teleconverter provides a 2.8x maximum magnification with an effective focal length of 200mm and an f/5.6 maximum aperture.
