FE 100-400 / 4.5-5.6 G Master

The High Quality and Versatile Long Range Zoom

 

 

 

 

Too much has been said about this fantastic G Master zoom. This lens has very outstanding image quality and a very useful tele zoom range of 100-400mm, which I personally find more useful than 70-200 (although the G MAster 70-200 is faster a f2.8 throughout the zoom range) for most events shooting.

Grey Heron, Satay by the Bay, A7R2, f9 1/500 @345mm, ISO 320, MT190CXPRO3/BHQ2, 5 Jan 2019. 

 

 

The 100-400 is compatible with the two teleconvertors SEL14TC (1.4x) and SEL20TC (2x). Most of the time I would prefer to use the 1.4x, and only under sitaution that I have no choice then I will consider the 2x.

 

   

 

              

 

 

 

 The following shot with TC 1.4, still very good quality.

The following two also shot with TC1.4, but quite desperate so used A7R2 in APS-C mode to crop further.

The next one shot with TC2x, quality still very good.
