Sony’s FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM Brings the G Master Touch to Close-Ups
Sony’s new FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM is finally here, and it’s a big win for anyone who loves capturing the little things. This is the first macro prime in Sony’s G Master lineup, and it delivers all the sharpness, bokeh, and build quality the series is known for, now with serious close-up power.
The lens gives you a 1.4x magnification ratio, which can jump up to 2.8x with Sony’s teleconverters. That means more detail, more texture, and more creative options, all without having to get uncomfortably close to your subject. A fluorine-coated front element helps keep dust, oil, and fingerprints away, while the body is dust and moisture resistant, making it tough enough for field work or unpredictable shoots.
It also keeps things consistent for G Master users. The 67mm filter thread and shared lens hood (same as the 50mm f/1.4 GM) make it easy to swap accessories between lenses. Inside, an 11-blade diaphragm gives you those perfect, round bokeh highlights that make your shots pop.
Sony’s Optical SteadyShot is built in and even works together with your camera’s in-body stabilization to keep handheld shots rock solid, perfect for those ultra-tight macro frames where every vibration counts.
Overall, the FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM is shaping up to be a powerhouse for macro, portrait, and even product work. It’s fast, sharp, and versatile, exactly what you’d expect from a G Master.
