Sony FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS - Lens

Introducing the Sony FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS

The Sony FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS medium-zoom telephoto lens features G Master resolution and innovative Smooth Transition Focusing (STF) for superb bokeh effects. It features fast, precise and silent DDSSM autofocus, and magnification capabilities up to 0.25x. The SteadyShot optical stabilizer reduces blur in low-light or macro situations.

Resolution and bokeh typical of the G Master series

Advanced optics and design achieve the extreme resolution and outstanding bokeh effect characteristic of the high-performance G Master concept.

You couldn't ask for better bokeh

This lens has been specially designed to produce smooth, natural bokeh effects without vignetting. The result is an image with naturally immersive depth and dimensionality.

Resolution true to the G Master name
The lens' extreme full-frame resolution and sharpness respect the specific MTF requirement of 50 lines per millimeter, which underpins the optical design of G Master lenses.

Focus on the creative aspect
The Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) focusing system of the Sony FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS enables fast, precise and silent focusing, allowing the user to concentrate entirely on capturing outstanding photos or videos.

SONY SEL 100 F2.8 G Master LENS FEATURES

	Resolution and bokeh typical of the G Master series This lens completes the G Master series, combining extraordinary resolution with smooth, fluid bokeh that sets the scene in the ideal way. The optical design, featuring an innovative apodization optical element and a new 11-blade aperture, delivers consistently high performance across the entire image area.Resolution true to the G Master name Thanks to compensation for spherical aberration, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lenses and aspherical elements, this lens offers exceptional resolution and sharpness, meeting the MTF requirement of 50 lines per millimetre that underpins the optical design of G Master lenses. This sharpness extends to the entire image area.
Remarkable clarity and contrast Sony's original Nano anti-reflective coating eliminates unwanted reflections and "ghosting" effects, especially against the light. The result: consistently high contrast and clarity with deep blacks in the widest possible range of photographic situations. (1. Nano anti-reflective coating / 2.Glass / 3.Transmitted light)Magnificent peripheral light zones In keeping with the emphasis placed on the bokeh effect, the lens has been designed to minimize vignetting, which can distort the geometry of light zones at the image periphery. Point light sources are reproduced with a circular bokeh effect throughout the image, so that sunlight filtering through or reflecting off leaves, for example, is reproduced with serene elegance.
	You couldn't ask for better bokeh Specially designed to produce an extraordinarily smooth, natural bokeh effect, this lens features a unique apodization optical element (APD), a new 11-blade circular aperture and minimal distortion of bright areas at the image periphery. Each lens is individually tuned to ensure it meets the highest standards of the G Master series. Each lens is individually tuned to ensure it meets the highest standards of the G Master series.Apodization for exceptional bokeh An APD optical element is a special type of filter that exposes the transmission of light that gradually decreases towards its periphery. It attenuates the edges of point images, for an exceptionally smooth bokeh effect in the background and foreground with the minimum of double-edged effects.2
Auto-focusing so you can concentrate on creation A DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) focusing system offers fast, precise and silent autofocusing. Fast, unobtrusive autofocusing lets the user concentrate on making outstanding photos or videos. This lens supports contrast autofocus and phase-detection autofocus with focal plane, making it the ideal accessory for modern high-performance Sony camera bodies.Get up close and explore the details As one of the main features of this lens is the bokeh effect, it has been equipped with a macro activation ring that extends the lens range to the macro region where bokeh can be used to exceptional effect. Macro mode offers a minimum focus of 0.57 m with a maximum magnification of 0.25x, without compromising on resolution performance.
	11 blades for an even more beautiful bokeh effect Sony's original circular aperture has been enhanced with 11 lamellae for even greater circularity. Design and materials have been revised to ensure that an almost round aperture shape is maintained, whether open or closed. What's more, strict circularity standards are applied to guarantee an uncompromisingly beautiful STF bokeh effect.Professional handling and control Other advanced features for photos and videos include an aperture ring 3, switchable clicks on the aperture ring, a focus lock button, an AF/MF selector button for focusing, and a large zoom ring for secure, comfortable control. Sharp, blur-free images without a tripod The SteadyShot optical stabilizer is integrated, enabling maximum subject sharpness at lower shutter speeds. Image stabilization in a 100 mm medium-zoom telephoto lens is an advantage for professionals and amateurs alike. Second-generation α7 bodies also offer integrated 5-axis stabilization.

Advanced actuators for speed and precision
DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) uses an original Sony piezomotor to drive the zoom ring directly. The high precision of the retarder allows precise control of the zoom ring for the most accurate focusing possible. It's also silent, perfect for wildlife photography and video shooting. Manual focusing is also smooth and responsive.

High reliability under the most extreme conditions
In addition to a rubber gasket at the lens mount, this lens is resistant to dust and moisture for extra protection and reliable operation in tough conditions. Rain or shine, shoot with confidence^.4

1 Maximum photometric aperture is 5.6.
2 The apodization element takes effect when the aperture is set between T5.6 and T8.
3 T-numbers: the T-number is a practical value that indicates the amount of light in the lens, giving the lens' transmission ratio. Although the maximum aperture of this lens is F2.8, the apodizing optical element provides a T5.6 amount of light, similar to F5.6 on a normal lens.
4 Resistance to dust and humidity not 100% guaranteed.
