Excellent build quality. High quality construction. Not as heavy as I thought it would be, which is good.
Has three assignable buttons one can use in portrait/landscape orientations. Detachable foot. Slide door on hood enabling access when wanting to adjust circular polarizing filter--all very practical.
The focus ring is buttery smooth, as is the focal length adjustment ring--very good for video use.
The optical image stabilization works seamlessly on my A7RIII. At 400mm, I have been able to take sharp images hand held at 1/80th of a second shutter speed.
The lens is very very sharp at all focal lengths, which is why I said "Why Buy the 70-200 GM When You Can Have the 100-400GM?" If you need a telephoto zoom for portraits in low light, this is not your lens. But I feel very comfortable saying this lens would make an excellent portrait lens in studio and outdoors in good lighting. Don't forget 400mm at 5.6 isolates the subject and blows out the background just as well as 135mm or 200mm at f/2.8. No need to worry so much a HSS to get that effect, either.
Have hd bad experiences with 3rd party sellers, so I bought this lens directly from Amazon services. The lens arrived in a brand new box--no scratches, no sign of ever having been opened or tampered with. Thank you Amazon.

Sony Alpha SEL100400GM Super Telephoto Zoom Lens
Full-frame super telephoto zoom with outstanding sharpness, fast AF and compact design that maintains the high standard of resolution shared among all of Sony’s flagship line of G Master lens series. It’s an exceptionally powerful photographic tool for a variety of enthusiast and professional shooters, in particular those that are commonly shooting sports or wildlife. (camera shown sold separately).
Features

|
|
|---|---|---|
Uncompromised G Master Design and PerformanceThe complex design features 22 lens elements configured in 16 different groups, including one Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two ED glass elements, all of which work together to minimize chromatic aberration and ensure the ultimate resolution from corner to corner. The lens also has Sony’s original Nano AR coating, which is particularly useful for shooting sports scenes or wildlife, as it reduces unwanted reflections, flare and ghosting. |
Extraordinary detail and bokeh in one lensG Master design combines extraordinary sharpness and smooth bokeh in one lens. It’s not easy to achieve spatial frequency of 50 lines pairs per millimeter at a lens' widest aperture and produce smooth beautiful bokeh at the same time, but that’s Sony's baseline for G Master design. Unprecedented resolution and other demanding design parameters yield outstanding reproduction of the most detailed subjects and scenes with superior contrast throughout every frame. G Master resolution is simply the highest in its class. |
Fast, quiet, precise focusingIn order to realize the maximum AF performance of a camera like the α9 and keep up with fast-moving action, common with sports and wildlife photography, the new FE 100-400mm GM super telephoto zoom lens features a double motor system. The Direct Drive Supersonic Wave Motor (DDSSM) drives the heavy front focus lens group, while the Double-linear motor system enables rapid acceleration of the main lens group to capture sudden subject motion. High precision positioning control and a newly optimized AF algorithm ensure the subject is found and focused on quickly, while the combination of the double linear motor and Direct Drive SSM actuator ensures fast, precise focusing, and quiet operation. In addition, the Double-linear motor system ‘oscillates’, to quietly achieve pinpoint focus when shooting movies. |

|
|---|---|---|
High performance Image stabilizationHigh-performance Optical SteadyShot image stabilization is built right into the lens for sharp, blur-free images with a wide range of subjects and handheld shooting. The stabilization lens is driven by a linear motor for fast, precise compensation. Additionally, 5-axis image stabilization becomes available when used with α series cameras that feature built-in image stabilization. |
9-blade circular apertureThe 9-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokeh in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background as well as perfectly round points of defocused light. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing, polygonal shaped defocused points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular. |
Professional operabilityThe focus hold button not only performs its primary function to lock focus when recomposing, but can be customized to a number of other functions depending on your needs. In addition to Focus Hold, these custom functions include: Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview or Bright Monitoring.Built for professionals and enthusiasts who demand instant and direct control, the 100-400mm GM lens includes multiple physical features to make taking control faster and easier. Instantly switch between auto and manual focus via the AF/MF focus mode switch on the side of the lens. Either let the camera and lens focus for you, or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you chose. The focus range limiter switch lets the lens ‘hunt’ through the entire focal range or limits the range from 3m to infinity making focusing on distant subjects even faster. Additional switches include image stabilization compensation and customizable focus hold buttons. |
Features

|
|---|---|---|
Zoom torque adjustment ringThe 100-400mm GM has a zoom torque adjustment ring – a first for Sony α – allowing the user to adjust the level of torque in the ring to zoom faster or slower depending on their shooting style. |
Focus hold button, programmable for multiple functionsThe focus hold button not only performs its primary function to lock focus when recomposing, but can be customized to a number of other functions depending on your needs. In addition to Focus Hold, these custom functions include: Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview or Bright Monitoring. |

MUST WATCH Review of the Sony 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 Lens
Nicki Frates
Reviews with images
Nice complement to the 200-600
I got this for butterflies, dragonflies, etc. Normally I use the 200-600, but it does not focus closer than 2+meters, and I was missing a lot of butterfly shots. (It is a fantastic bird lens).The 100-400 does the trick, it focuses close, and is long enough for most butterflies, etc. It also has a greater magnification . I am using this as is, hand held and no flash.Compared to the 200-600, the 100-400 is much lighter and quite a bit sharper. The autofocus is a bit slower, and more likely to need a manual assist to get in the basic range, but bird-eye etc. work fine,. Really a pleasure to use.It is also good for birds, albeit with less reach. It could be used as a lighter travel option with the 1.4 teleconverter.

My favorite lens, it's super sharp with an excellent range, not just wildlife and sports
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
I am smitten with this lens. Excellent range, super sharp, super fast autofocus. I couldn't ask for more. It's turning out to be the lens that is on my cameras the most by the results I'm getting from it. I've attached 8 photos that show a diverse range of awesome shots I've been able to land with it just in the last 2 months. The images are so crispy edge to edge. My only small qualm with the lens is that the bokeh can look kind of onion-ringy and busy in certain lighting like in the pelican shot i've included. All-in-all I consider this a must by for anyone that needs this range.

If you're considering doing wildlife photography the combination of this lens with the teleconverter is just outstanding. The effective 560mm length has plenty of reach and is extremely clear. The photo of this hawk was taken from about 20 feet away (he landed in a tree I just happened to be under) and slightly cropped (maybe 20% taken off) but no filters or any other adjustments.

Awesome wildlife lens, especially with the 1.4x teleconverter
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018
I have to say I'm very impressed with this lens along with the Sony A7 III. I also picked up the 1.4x teleconverter and the image quality is amazing. I'm a total novice (this is my first camera) and my pictures are coming out far better than I could have hoped for.Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018
