Sony 100mm Macro Lens Underwater Review

Is the new Sony 100mm the best underwater macro lens we’ve seen in years? We took this highly anticipated lens underwater in a wide variety of shooting conditions to see if it’s a worthy upgrade from the classic Sony 90mm.

Featuring razor-sharp G Master series glass, vastly improved autofocus tracking, and a native 1.4:1 reproduction ratio, the Sony 100mm pushes straight into super macro territory without the need for additional optics. In this review, we break down image quality, autofocus performance, how it performs with teleconverters, and test its compatibility with popular underwater optics like the Nauticam SMC-3, MFO, and EMWL systems.

Whether you are looking to capture skittish subjects, shoot flawless blackwater, or just want the sharpest macro details possible, this might be the lens you’ve been waiting for.
