Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS

(6 customer reviews)

The Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS is a camera glass designed for full frame cameras. It produces a stunning bokeh effect with 11 aperture blades. It has auto focus capabilities, but can also be manually focused. The lens has 11 elements and is coated to reduce flare and ghosting. The build quality is solid and it is a heavy lens, weighing 700 grams. It is 118mm long and has a 72mm filter diameter. It is a top-quality lens that is worth investing in. There are alternative lenses available, but this one is highly recommended for its resolution and manufacturing quality.

Positives:
The Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS lens is absolutely amazing for portraits. The sharpness is fantastic, and the bokeh it produces is just beautiful. The STF (Smooth Trans Focus) technology really helps to create an almost dream-like effect in the background while keeping the focus sharp on the subject. The build quality is top-notch, and the lens feels very sturdy and well-made. The OSS (Optical SteadyShot) technology is also a great addition, allowing for stable handheld shooting even in lower light conditions.

Negatives:
The only negative thing I can say about this lens is the price. It is definitely on the pricey side, but I believe that the quality is worth it if portraits are your primary focus.

Conclusion:
Overall, if you are serious about portrait photography and have the budget for it, I would highly recommend the Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS lens. The output it produces is absolutely stunning and the build quality is top-notch. The price may be a bit steep, but I believe that the quality is definitely worth it. This lens is definitely a great addition to any portrait photographer’s gear collection.

Optical design

Bright lens thanks to the high aperture value Has 11 aperture blades, this lens has a beautiful bokeh.

Physical characteristics

With a lens filter diameter of 72 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. Weights 700 grams so it is a heavy lens, consider using its own lens bag. 118 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag.

    Superb lens. I checked this lens out extensively via watching its usage in some 3hours of Youtube demos and reviews. It is exactly as advertised. Tack sharp, gives coherent background blur separation while maintaining the features of background and foreground that provide the in-focus subject a coherent visual context. This lens allows the photographer to tell a story, such as This and That, This not That, etc. other low aperture lens can’t do that because bokeh-mania and spherical aberration take possession of fore and background composition. This lens sculpts light and maintains its coherence corner to corner. I think many photographers have lost sight of such story telling opportunities.

    A great, prime closeup lens. I’m sure that, out there, nothing is flawless. But I look at the end results with this lens and that’s the only word that keeps coming to mind.

    Most of the time, I wouldn’t go anywhere without it

    Great lens but not for everything Fantastic lens if you have enough light and/or there are lights in the background to be made into perfectly round bokeh! Lens is not the best for low/light situations…
