Sony 100mm f/2.8 GM FE OSS STF (SEL-100F28GM)

The optics of the premium G-Master line are designed with an eye on the true pros of the photographic business. Its motto is "Quality without compromise", which is confirmed in fact by close acquaintance with the Sony FE 100mm f / 2.8 STF GM OSS lens.

Perfect bokeh

The 100mm fix is not like everyone else. This is indicated by the prefix STF in the full name of the model. Smooth Trans Focus technology allows you to get the perfect bokeh by adding a special apodization element (APD) to the complex optical scheme of the lens. It works in the manner of a gradient neutral filter, making the edges of the circles in the blur zone soft. Together with the 11-blade aperture structure, the lens draws a truly fabulous bokeh.

Internal hardware

The trade-off for perfect background blur was low light transmission, similar to f/5.6. The optical image stabilization system is designed to compensate for the lack of light. In addition, the all-protected lens body hides a smart autofocus drive under the outer “wrapper”.

control levers

As befits a Pro level optic, each function of the Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS has its own control levers assigned. For example, there are three wheels in the model’s assets at once: the one closest to the bayonet mount is used to set the focus distance, the ring in the middle is for aperture (in 1/3 stop increments), and near the front lens is for manual focus. A proprietary attribute of Sony optics — a programmable key — is also in its place.

exotic

The lens is especially good in the genre of portrait photography, along with which it will be useful for subjects and videographers. All thanks to the optical stub and the presence of a stepless aperture selector on board the model (for smooth selection of objects in the frame). As a result, a fabulously expensive and exotic lens appears before us, which is simply impossible not to fall in love with for the nature of the picture.
