Lens Description: Targeting sports, wildlife, and action shooters, this FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens from Sony will satisfy many photographers and videographers who are looking for a bit of extra reach with their full-frame E-mount camera. As a member of the G Master line, it is designed for outstanding resolution and sharpness with minimal aberrations, something assisted by the implementation of one Super ED and two ED elements as well as a Nano AR coating. It also features a relatively compact size through the use of an f/4.5-5.6 maximum aperture range, and it is equipped with both a Direct Drive SSM autofocus system as Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for outstanding performance at all focal lengths.

Photography Life Review Summary: When the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM lens was announced alongside the Sony Alpha 9 camera body, it created quite a stir within the Sony user base and thankfully the lens doesn’t disappoint. After testing it, I can say that I have yet to be disappointed by the performance of this lens. Optically, it is excellent throughout the entirety of its focal length range, with an incredibly even performance from corner to corner. Even with the added Sony SEL20TC teleconverter, the lens remains a surprisingly capable performer. Read the full Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Review by Photography Life.
