What We Like
+Exceptional optical performance with near-flawless MTF showing exceptional sharpness even in corners
+Industry-leading 1.4x native magnification plus teleconverter compatibility for up to 2.8x magnification with autofocus maintained
+Macro-optimized 5-axis optical stabilization enabling handheld shooting and 4-4.5 stops of compensation
+Fast, precise quad XD linear autofocus system 1.9x faster than predecessor with insect-detection AF
+Professional-grade G Master build with weather-resistant design and excellent ergonomic handling
Worth Knowing
−Premium pricing at $1,498 positions it well above competing macro lenses
−Teleconverters sold separately adding to total system cost
−Very shallow depth of field at macro distances requiring careful focus positioning even at narrower apertures
−No tripod ring included; adequate weight may cause mild sag on standard tripod heads

Read our notes on general
The Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS is a new macro prime lens for Sony Alpha full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. Sony's first ever G Master macro eclipses its predecessor in every way, delivering 1.4:1 reproduction ratio (1.4x magnification) as standard – going above and beyond the 1:1 (1x) true macro ratio for larger-than-life-size reproduction. The G Master offers compatibility with 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters – delivering up to 2.8:1 reproduction (2.8x magnification), while stabilization and autofocus make this a legitimate option for handheld shooting. The Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS is the best of them all among macro lenses, offering breakthrough magnification without sacrificing autofocus performance or image stabilization.
