Reviews Of The New Sony 100-400mm f/4.5 G Master
Chelsea Northrup
"I think that this is going to be a lens that stays relevant for a very long time because it has new glass that's never been in lenses before. It's got super-fast focusing motors. It's well-built. It's going to stand the test of time and so I consider this a good long-term investment if this is the type of lens for you." – Chelsea Northrup
Dustin Abbott
"I really, really love it, and I can say is I'm starting to do my own preparations in terms of selling and saving because I plan to add one of these to my own kit." – Dustin Abbott
Steve Perry
"For me, this lens isn't about one dramatic advantage. It's about a bunch of little things that add up to a shooting experience and photos I really enjoyed. Personally, I can't wait to have this one in my bag." – Steve Perry
Patrick Murphy-Racey
"This lens is sort of a happy medium. It's a great price point and gives such good value for what you're going to get without discounting the optical quality of the lens. And that it's a GM lens vs. a G? That says a lot. The sharpness of this lens is fantastic." – Patrick Murphy-Racey
Christopher Frost
"...if you need telephoto for almost an application, then this is easily one of the best options to go for and it comes highly recommended." – Christopher Frost
Adorama
"This lens is not something that you'll just put in your backpack and say, 'Maybe I'll use it.' It's something that if you're bringing with you, you're definitely using it." –Sal D'Alia
Mark Galer
"It can track rapidly moving subjects wide open or stopped down. It is sharp wide open at f/4.5, and that doesn't matter whether you're working with the 100mm focal length of the 400mm focal length." – Mark Galer
B&H Photo Video
"...admittedly, I am geeking out over this lens." – Matt Zefi
Jared Polin
"Obviously it's going to be a really good sports lens for soccer, for baseball, for anything on the field or in front of you. For wildlife, something like going on safari – it is going to be solid for safari." – Jared Polin
TheCameraStoreTV
"You can't go wrong with this lens. If this is the focal range that you're interested in, this is the best that Sony has to offer right now and it shows. This is a fantastic lens." – Dave Paul
