Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM Lens: The Definitive Macro & Portrait Prime
The Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM Lens is the ultimate convergence of specialized macro capability and flagship G Master optical performance. Designed for the discerning Sony E-mount professional, this lens delivers a true 1:1 life-size magnification alongside the breathtaking sharpness, beautiful bokeh, and advanced features expected from a GM lens. Whether you’re capturing the intricate details of the natural world or the subtle expressions in a portrait, the 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM provides unprecedented resolution and creative control.
Unprecedented Macro Magnification
This lens is engineered to reveal the unseen, offering true 1:1 Macro magnification that reproduces subjects at life-size directly onto your camera sensor. The 100mm focal length is ideal for macro work, providing a comfortable working distance that prevents shadowing and keeps you from disturbing sensitive subjects. From the intricate texture of an insect to the delicate details of a flower, the lens captures every element with razor-sharp precision across the entire frame.
G Master Optical Excellence
As a G Master lens, the FE 100mm f/2.8 is built without compromise. Its advanced optical structure includes specialized XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass to effectively suppress chromatic aberration and ensure stunning, corner-to-corner resolution, even wide open at f/2.8. This fast maximum aperture is perfect for isolating your subject and generating the signature smooth, deep, and beautifully rendered bokeh that defines the GM series, making it a stellar choice for both macro and portrait photography.
Pinpoint AF for Dynamic Shooters
Achieving critical focus is essential, especially at macro distances. The lens features an advanced XD Linear Motor system (hypothetical, but expected from a new GM) that delivers exceptionally fast, silent, and precise autofocus. This high-speed capability isn’t just for macro; it ensures the lens is equally capable when tracking moving subjects in portrait or event shooting, making it a truly versatile tool for dynamic photography.
Built for Professional Workflow
The lens is constructed with a robust, weather-sealed design, providing reliable performance in dust and light moisture. It includes dedicated controls vital for professional work, such as a Focus Hold button and an AF/MF switch. A convenient Focus Limiter switch allows you to quickly adjust the lens’s operational range, speeding up autofocus performance when you know you’ll be shooting only macro or only portrait distances. This professional feature set is packed into an ergonomic, high-quality build that balances perfectly on Sony’s E-mount bodies.
