Sony FE 100-400mm F/4.5 GM + 1.4x Teleconverter
Meet Sony's professional 100-400mm zoom without compromise. With a constant f/4.5 aperture, four XD Linear Motors for autofocus up to three times faster with 50% better focus tracking, and an internal zoom design weighing just 1,840g, this is the ideal lens for wildlife, sports and photojournalism. Never miss a decisive moment again, from unpredictable birds to lightning-fast athletes.
Always the right exposure, at every focal length
The FE 100-400mm f/4.5 GM OSS is the only lens in its class with a constant f/4.5 aperture across the entire zoom range. That means no exposure shift when zooming, consistent shutter speeds when tracking fast-moving subjects, and soft bokeh throughout the entire zoom range from 100mm to 400mm. For sports photographers working in changing light conditions, or wildlife photographers who need to react instantly to an unexpected movement, the constant aperture is a crucial advantage over lenses with a variable zoom.
Never miss a decisive moment
Four XD Linear Motors and advanced control algorithms deliver autofocus speeds up to three times faster than previous models, with approximately 50% better tracking performance. The floating focus groups are driven with extreme precision, keeping your subject sharp even during unpredictable movements. Combined with the Sony Alpha 9 III, the lens supports AF tracking at up to 120 fps, making it perfectly suited for capturing birds in flight, sprinting athletes or other fast action where there is no room for error.
A full day of shooting, without fatigue
The internal zoom means the length of the lens at 100mm remains the same as at 400mm, keeping the centre of gravity constant so the lens is always perfectly balanced on a tripod or handheld. Weighing approximately 1,840g, the lens is relatively light. For photographers working long days on location, whether on a tripod or handheld, this means less fatigue and greater freedom of movement. The internal design also prevents dust from being drawn inside when zooming, which is essential when shooting outdoors in challenging conditions.
From 100mm to 800mm, without changing lenses
The lens is fully compatible with the Sony SEL14TC (1.4x) and SEL20TC (2.0x) teleconverters, extending the effective range to 140-560mm and 200-800mm respectively. Crucially, full G Master image quality is retained when using teleconverters, something that cannot be said for many other lenses. This makes the FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS effectively a versatile system that adapts to a wide range of shooting situations with a single lens body, without having to change lenses and without missing precious moments.
Built for the toughest conditions
For professionals working in demanding environments, the lens features a built-in security lock, compatible with a security cable in press areas, stadiums and fixed shooting positions. All buttons and rings are sealed for a robust dust- and moisture-resistant construction, ensuring the lens continues to perform reliably in harsh weather conditions. In addition, the front element features a fluorine coating that repels contamination and is easy to clean, safeguarding long-term durability and image quality.
Change filters in seconds, without removing the lens
The lens features a drop-in filter slot at the rear, allowing ND filters, polarising filters or other filter types to be swapped quickly and easily without removing the lens from the camera. For sports and wildlife photographers who need to switch rapidly between situations with strongly varying light conditions, this is a significant practical advantage. A large front filter is impractical and costly on a lens of this size; the drop-in solution offers a professional and affordable alternative that fits seamlessly into a fast on-location workflow.
Sony E-Mount 1.4x Teleconverter
With the high-quality Sony E-Mount 1.4x teleconverter, you can extend the focal length of your lens by forty percent without any loss of image quality. Communication between the lens and the camera body, such as passing data for light metering, autofocus and optical image stabilisation, is fully supported. In addition, the Sony full-frame teleconverter with E-mount has a dust- and moisture-resistant construction, making it capable of withstanding the toughest conditions.
A teleconverter is a compact and lightweight solution for getting closer to your subject. With the Sony E-Mount 1.4x teleconverter, you can shoot with the Sony FE 70-200mm F/2.8 GM OSS lens as if it were a lens with a range of 98-280mm, for example. The maximum aperture is reduced by approximately one f-stop. This means that with a lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, you can shoot with f/4.0 as the maximum aperture.
