This versatile 100mm macro lens offers up to 1.4x magnification, or up to 2.8x with an optional teleconverter. G Master resolution and bokeh contribute to impressive macro captures, while advanced stabilisation and macro-optimised operability deliver unprecedented macro potential for stills and movies. Flowers, insects, and other subjects come alive with normally hidden detail.
The first G Master macro lens offers up to 1.4x magnification, or up to 2.8x magnification with an optional teleconverter. G Master resolution and bokeh contribute to impressive macro captures. Advanced stabilisation and macro-optimised operability deliver unprecedented control for stills and movies where focus is critical.
Up to 1.4x magnification and a 0.26 m (0.86 ft) minimum focus distance make this lens ideal for macro photography. Close-up capability with more than a 1:1 magnification ratio makes it possible to capture details and textures that are barely invisible to the naked eye in creative new ways.
Teleconverter support enables up to 2.8x magnification that can reveal new dimensions of detail and texture while providing ample working distance that not only makes it possible to shoot impressive macro captures of subjects that can’t be approached closely, but also allows extra space for effective lighting.
Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements suppress chromatic and other aberration for superior resolution right out to the image edges. Floating focus minimises aberration variations for superb resolution at close focus. Nano AR Coating II controls flare and ghosting for excellent contrast and clarity.
Exquisite G Master bokeh
An F2.8 aperture, two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, and an 11-blade aperture unit all help to create gorgeous G Master bokeh that has minimal colouration. Refined bokeh contributes to beautiful, impressively dimensional imagery.
Advanced optical image stabilisation is optimised for macro shooting where sharpness is critical, and a new control system achieves improved angle, shift, and depth control for precise handheld stabilisation. Compatible α bodies additionally enable lens-body communication that enhances stabilisation for both stills and movies (Active Mode).
Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the floating focus group for up to 1.9x faster AF over a wide range in AF-S mode. Tracking is fast too, making it easier to shooting active macro subjects. This system easily keeps up with the 120 fps maximum speed of the α9 III. Focus drive is quiet too, making it ideal for movie shooting.
Precise focus is essential when shooting with a narrow depth of field, and this remarkable lens ensures that it is easy to achieve. After following a moving subject in AF-C mode, the MF mode can be quickly selected via the AF/MF switch and used with focus magnification to refine and finalise focus.
If focus is on the wrong subject, it can be returned to the intended subject simply by rotating the focus ring in the lens’s DMF mode. Sliding the focus ring back and forth switches between the AF/MF and FULL MF modes, with the latter providing distance and magnification scales that are ideal for macro shooting.
When using AF, pressing a focus hold button maintains focus at the current setting for as long as the button is held. The focus hold buttons can be assigned different functions for different situations. Focus magnification can be assigned to the focus hold buttons, for example, so that it can be quickly activated for precise focus confirmation.
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise. Linear Response MF also enables smooth, accurate manual focus shifts when shooting movies.
Buttons and switches sealed with silicone gaskets, a rubber ring that seals the lens mount, and other measures prevent the incursion of dust and moisture even in challenging outdoor conditions. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean.
Sony’s “Road to Zero” environmental plan aims for a zero environmental footprint by 2050. The environmental footprint of this product has been minimised from development through supply chain, production, and packaging. We are also transitioning to non-plastic packaging materials. Plant-based non-woven fabrics are used for product bags.
