Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS available for pre-order in Malaysia from May 2026

Sony Electronics has recently launched the FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS, the newest addition to its flagship G Master lens series for full-frame Alpha E-mount cameras.

Offering a 100-400 mm focal range with a constant F4.5 aperture, the lens provides outstanding resolution and bokeh characteristic of the G Master series, along with autofocus that is nearly 3x faster than the FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS.

It is also consider quite light for its size, approximately 65 oz. (1,840 g) with an internal zoom structure, offering highly mobile shooting capabilities. The FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS gives wildlife, birding, sports, and photojournalism creators the speed, reach, and image quality to capture decisive moments in any environment, expanding their creative possibilities.

Uncompromising G Master Optics

  • Resolves fine detail across the full 100-400 mm zoom range, even wide open at F4.5
  • Optical design featuring newly developed ED XA (Extra-low Dispersion extreme aspherical), XA (extreme aspherical), two Super ED (extra-low Dispersion), and three ED glass elements, effectively controlling multiple aberrations including chromatic and spherical aberration to achieve exceptional resolution from centre to edge across the entire zoom range 
  • Nano AR Coating II reduces ghosting and flare for high-contrast results in backlit conditions
  • 11-blade circular aperture with precision spherical aberration control produces the signature G Master bokeh
  • Constant F4.5 maximum aperture eliminates exposure shifts while zooming
  • Compatible with optional teleconverters for focal lengths up to 800 mm or 1,200 mm in APS-C mode

Autofocus That Keeps Pace with the Action

  • Four custom-optimized XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors, a floating focus mechanism, and the latest AF algorithms deliver AF speeds up to 3x faster1,2 with approximately 50 % improved subject tracking2
  • Fully compatible with Alpha 9 III continuous shooting at up to 120 fps with AF/AE tracking

Lightweight Build, Exceptional Mobility

  • Combining the latest optical design, mechanical engineering with lightweight yet robust magnesium alloy barrel components, and high-efficiency, high-thrust XD Linear Motors, the lens achieves a lightweight and robust body at approximately 65 oz. (1,840 g) 
  • Inner-zoom design maintains constant length and stable centre of gravity throughout the zoom range for precise framing adjustments without shifting balance

Professional-Grade Control and Reliability

  • Built-in stabilization supports Active Mode and coordinates internal stabilization control on compatible bodies
  • Supports the camera body’s breathing compensation, correcting angle-of-view shifts during focus adjustments in video recording
  • Four focus hold buttons and a dedicated function ring for intuitive, personalized operation in the field
  • Dust and moisture resistant design with fluorine front-element coating maintains reliable performance in challenging conditions

Availability

The FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS will be available from May 2026 with the SRP of RM17,999.
