Sony SEL100M28GM Macro lens Black

Up to 1.4x magnification, or 2.8x with optional teleconverter

Magnification higher than 1:1 and a 0.26 m (0.86 ft) minimum focus distance make this lens ideal for macro photography. Close-up capability with high magnification makes it possible to capture barely invisible details from fresh perspectives. Teleconverter support enables up to 2.8x magnification that can reveal new levels of detail and texture while providing ample working distance for a wide range of subjects.

Breathtaking G Master resolution and bokeh

Advanced optical design optimises element layout while floating focus minimises aberration variations that are common in macro lenses for high resolution even in extreme close-ups. Nano AR Coating II boosts contrast and clarity by suppressing flare and ghosting. An F2.8 aperture, two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements, and an 11-blade aperture add up to gorgeous G Master bokeh.

Refined optical image stabilisation minimises macro shake

This superb lens features optical image stabilisation that has been carefully tuned for macro shooting where sharpness is critical, including a new control system that delivers improved angle, shift, and depth control for precise, reliable handheld macro stabilisation. Compatible α bodies additionally enable lens-body communication that enhances stabilisation for both stills and movies (Active Mode).

Fast, precise, quiet AF keeps the creativity flowing

Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors drive the floating focus group for up to 1.9x faster AF over a wide range in the AF-S mode. Tracking is excellent too, making it easier to shoot fast-moving macro subjects such as bees on flowers. This system easily keeps up with the 120 fps maximum speed of the α9 III. Focus drive is quiet too, so focus noise won’t intrude on the audio track when shooting video.

Focus operation optimised for macro shooting

After tracking in AF-C mode, the AF/MF switch can quickly select the MF mode where display magnification can be used to finalise focus. If AF focuses on the wrong subject, it can be returned to the intended subject by rotating the focus ring in the DMF mode. Sliding the focus ring back and forth switches between AF/MF and FULL MF which provides distance and magnification scales that are ideal for macro shooting.

Extra durability and reliability for challenging outdoor conditions

Silicone gaskets around all buttons and switches, a rubber ring seal for the lens mount, and other refinements constitute an effective dust and moisture resistant design that maximises reliability in challenging outdoor conditions. The front lens element has a fluorine coating that repels contaminants and makes them easy to wipe away if they do become attached to the lens surface.
