Macro Marvel. Convenient close-up capture resides in the reliable and versatile Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM! Boasting an impressive 10.2-inch minimum focusing distance from the sensor, this lens delivers 1.4x maximum magnification with a 1.4:1 macro magnification ratio for clarified, immersive macro close-ups. The focusing ring on the lens can slide forward or backward to switch between manual focus or autofocus, while the focus range limiter switch allows range limitations to be set for improved autofocus speed and responsiveness. The fast f/2.8 aperture enables extremely shallow depth-of-field control at macro focus distances.
G Master Lens. A continuation of the G Master (GM) line, this lens stakes claim as Sony’s first Macro GM option. Constructed with a 17 element / 13 group optical configuration, this lens effectively minimizes aberration through two eXtreme Aspherical (XA) and two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, while a Nano AR Coating II on the elements help reject flare, ghosting, and internal reflections. Additionally, its 11-blade circular aperture delivers a smooth, round bokeh around your imaging.
Motorized Focusing. To capture those clear, sharp close-ups, the 100mm Macro GM uses four near-silent XD linear motors to power the autofocus system up to 1.9x faster than the "Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS ":/rent/sony-fe-90mm-f2.8-g-oss-macro, and offer full compatibility with the 120 fps burst shooting of the Sony a9 III. The internal-focusing system provides fast, highly accurate, and nearly silent autofocus performance that’s great for still and video use. This system is crucial to macro work because the front element doesn’t extend or rotate.
Optical Image Stabilization. The advanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization allows you to shoot at slower shutter speeds without having to worry about camera shake.
High Build Quality. Like the Sony a9-series cameras, this lens offers dust- and moisture-resistant sealing for use in less-than-ideal conditions. The all-metal barrel and smooth, responsive manual-focus ring give the lens a solid feel.
