With the G Master super zoom telephoto lens from Sony, you can take high-quality shots from great distances. The lens boasts universal range, superb resolution and fast, accurate autofocus. It is ideal for shooting sports, animals in nature and other remote objects. Despite the long range, the lens maintains a decent size and weight of 1.4kg due to magnesium alloy parts. It is therefore easy to carry, comfortable to operate and you can use it to shoot straight from your hand.
The Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS is the first of its kind with a combination of double linear motor and DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) drive. The focusing mechanism is exceptionally fast and precise, which is further supported by the feedback of positional sensors. You can also adjust the smoothness of the zoom using torque control. Lower torque means fast zooming, while higher torque produces a slower, more gradual zoom effect. Using these controls, you can truly tailor your lens to your exact needs.
Axial chromatic defects often occur at long focal lengths, which has a negative impact on image resolution. That's why the lens is equipped with two ED glass elements and one Super ED element, which are included in the optical assembly and effectively suppress these undesirable defects. The result is an extraordinary image clarity with high resolution throughout the zoom range. The lens also features an anti-glare nano layer which reduces reflections caused by backlighting and other adverse lighting conditions.
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
