Description
The Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM is a super telephoto zoom lens for Sony mirrorless cameras. This lens is suitable for nature and sports photography, since you can photograph subjects from a large distance. The lens fits on both a full-frame and an APS-C camera. You can easily control the lens, and the rotating ring gives you extra control of the zoom function's resistance. Thanks to the built-in image stabilization, motion blur is reduced. In addition, you can accurately capture fast-moving subjects thanks to the fast autofocus. The special coating counters lens flare and shadow images, and creates more contrast in your images. The casing of the lens is both dust and weatherproof.
