Sony 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens

The Sony 100mm f/2.8 is the superb macro-focus lens for both close-up and distant subjects. The Sony 100mm Lens is a versatile macro-focus lens that covers a wide range of photographic applications, from close-up nature subjects to midrange telephoto shots, making it ideal to carry on location or in the field.

Focus Range Limiter
Speeds auto-focus response by limiting the range of distances that are brought into focus - Close-up Range, or Telephoto Range.

Focus Hold Button
For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing.

Auto Clutch
In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate - which improves handling ease.

Circular Aperture
Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.

Sharp Macro Focusing
You can get closer to your subject to capture low-angle shots of insects, flowers and other natural wonders - and broad depth of field lets you keep backgrounds in focus too.

Bright f2.8 Aperture
In conjunction with the Super SteadyShot image stabilization system of the Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this lens captures bright, steady images even working with hand-held camera in low light.

High Contrast and Resolution
Excellent optical precision gives your shots greater visual accuracy for close analysis of your subject.
