A long-reaching and highly versatile lens, the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5 GM OSS is the super-telephoto zoom built without compromise; it's designed to meet the needs of the professional wildlife, birding, sports, and journalism photographers. Thanks to a portable design with internal zoom and focus, as well as the renowned G Master optical capabilities, this constant maximum aperture zoom offers the performance and rendering required for photographing small and distant subjects at high speeds with high precision.
Sony's G Master designation is reserved for its highest performing optics, those that offer the greatest sharpness, smoothest bokeh, utmost speed, and best overall performance. This 100-400mm f/4.5 checks all of these boxes as it sets out to be a single lens replacement for several telephoto primes.
Primarily designed for speed, precision, and reliability, the focusing and stabilization systems benefit wildlife, sports, and journalism applications. Additionally, the lens is well-suited to hybrid applications, including wildlife and sports videography.
Despite a long-reaching super-telephoto range, internal zoom/focus design, and relatively bright f/4.5 constant maximum aperture, the lens still manages to be portable and usable atop a tripod, monopod, or even handheld.
