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.
