“We’re on a constant mission to expand creative possibilities for visual storytellers, and the FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS fulfills that by going beyond traditional macro photography,” said Yang Cheng, Vice President of Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. “With its world-class optical quality, it enables not only macro photographers, but also portrait and wedding photographers, to take their craft to a new level. We’re thrilled to offer the FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS as part of our acclaimed G Master series, maintaining a standard of peak performance Sony creators have become accustomed to.
The optical design effectively positions elements including two XA (extreme aspherical) lenses and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to achieve high-resolution performance from the center to the periphery of the image, reducing chromatic and other aberrations.
To allow precise and intuitive focus adjustments for a variety of macro photography scenes, the lens offers three focus-dedicated features: a “Full-time DMF switch” enables instant MF (manual focus) by rotating the focus ring, even in AF (autofocus) mode; the “Focus Mode switch” allows instant switching between AF and MF; the “Sliding Focus Ring” enables FULL MF mode, linked to the distance and magnification scales.
The four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors that enable high-speed, high-precision, and quiet lens drive, make autofocus (AF) performance up to 1.9 times faster than previous models.A dedicated aperture ring offers quick, direct control over aperture settings.
