Most macro lenses top out at 1:1 magnification — reproducing a subject at its actual size on the sensor. Sony's FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS, released in November 2025 as the brand's first G Master macro prime, pushes past that to 1.4x magnification natively, and up to 2.8x with Sony's teleconverters while retaining autofocus. It's built as the successor to the well-liked FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G, adding an aperture ring, a more advanced focusing system, and Sony's latest 5-axis image stabilization tuned specifically for the demands of handheld close-up work.
Reviewers who got early access didn't hedge their praise. It's a lens built to do one job — extreme close-up photography — better than anything Sony has shipped before, while still functioning as a genuinely sharp 100mm portrait telephoto when magnification isn't the point.
