1.4x max. Magnification in Sony's first G Master macro lens

This versatile 100 mm 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. At the same time, advanced stabilisation and macro-optimized operability deliver unprecedented macro potential for stills and movies. Flowers, insects, and other subjects come alive with details that are normally hidden.

Up to 1.4x magnification, or 2.8x with optional teleconverter

Magnification higher than 1:1 and a minimum focus distance of 0.26 m (0.86 ft) make this lens ideal for macro photography. Close-up capability with high magnification enables the capture of barely visible details from fresh perspectives. Teleconverter support enables up to 2.8x magnification, revealing new levels of detail and texture while providing ample working distance for a wide range of subjects.

Breathtaking G Master resolution and bokeh

Advanced optical design optimizes element layout, while floating focus minimizes aberration variations common in macro lenses, ensuring high resolution even in extreme close-ups. Nano AR Coating II boosts contrast and clarity by suppressing flare and ghosting. An f/2.8 aperture, two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements, and an 11-blade aperture add up to gorgeous G Master bokeh.

Refined optical image stabilisation minimises macro shake.

This superb lens features optical image stabilization that has been carefully tuned for macro shooting, where sharpness is critical. It includes a new control system that delivers improved angle, shift, and depth control for precise and reliable handheld macro stabilization. Compatible α bodies also enable lens-body communication, which enhances stabilization for both stills and movies (Active Mode).

Fast, precise, quiet AF keeps the creativity flowing.

Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the floating focus group for up to 1.9x faster AF over a wide range in the AF-S mode. Tracking is excellent, too, making it easier to shoot fast-moving macro subjects such as bees on flowers. This system easily keeps up with the α9 III's maximum speed of 120 fps. The focus drive is quiet too, so focus noise won't intrude on the audio track when shooting video.

Extra durability and reliability for challenging outdoor conditions

Silicone gaskets around all buttons and switches, a rubber ring seal for the lens mount, and other refinements comprise an effective dust- and moisture-resistant design that maximizes reliability in challenging outdoor conditions. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels contaminants, making them easy to wipe away if they become attached to the lens surface.

Lens Configuration

G Master series lenses take imaging and expression to previously unattainable levels with a stunning blend of extremely high resolution and softly dissolving background bokeh.
