- Pricing on Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM:
bhpho.to/2A0VSsG
Used lens firmware 02
I shoot in crop mode on my a7riii most of the time so this lens was more like 600mm rather than the 400mm. When shooting at 600mm I needed a better tripod.
I have a problem in crop mode at 400mm in wind
OSS seemed to be similar to my 70-200mm f2.8 from Sony
I like the focus ring better on my 70-200 the 100-400 feels like it spins too easily.
It doesn't seem heavy, especially compared to my 70-200. 1395g vs 1480g for 70-200 f2.8
AF seems reliable, even in lower light, but I didn't try in really dark situations
It seems sharp in my 4k videos and my 42MP stills, no disappointment there. In all the reviews I read no one complained about sharpness (except one person)
Shoot at sunset I did have to push the ISO a bit so it that could be an issue for like indoor sports with the slow f stop, but if you want faster you are going $12k
Bokeh seems nice, similar to the 70-200mm
Read all the reviews on B&H, I saw several people saying they had to return for repairs. It seems like solid build construction
It is a lot of money for what I shoot, perhaps I would rent it when I need it for a weekend for $50

Love these small opinion/impression videos!
Thanks Dave - I've been interested in this lens.
Which aperture did you use mostly with the 100-400?
Hello, the lens is great, but stabilization does not work on the tripod. When shooting a video it's frustrating I have to return it :(
when will the comparison of gopro 7 Black with sony fdr x3000?
have you tried this on shoot or concert?
Have you tried the 2x Teleconverter?
Hello Dave, do you plan to review 1.4x and 2x teleconverter? I haven’t found any solid review yet. It would be interesting if you make a comparison video since you have both 70-200 and 100-400GM.
I want to, last time I checked they were not in stock.
Hey Dave, thanks so much for doing this test! Have you also considered to use the 2.0 TC for the 70-200mm GM? Would be interesting to see how the combination performs compared to the 100-400mm.
I wanted to get that in to compare but B&H didn't have any in stock to test. Perhaps I will try again when they have some.
Dave Dugdale I might try to get my hands on a tele converter as well. I do not expect that it is better than the native 100-400 gm, but maybe the difference is not very big in terms of sharpness.
@@marcelgalle4484 The 100-400 will be much sharper at 400mm
Thanks Dave. The issue I have found with this lens has to do with having the 100-400 on a tripod. The IS throttles down or shuts off completely if it does not detect any movement in video mode. This is very frustrating because if you are videoing a perched bird for example any small vibration caused by wind shows up in the video. To test this, I suggest setting the lens up on a sturdy tripod, start video recording and then after a few seconds start tapping a tripod leg. You will see the vibration in the video. If you constantly tap the leg, eventually the IS will kick in again.
I have used Canon and Sigma telephoto lenses with IS and the IS is always on. It never shuts off or throttles down like the Sony if it doesn't detect vibration/movement.
I had this lens for a week and reluctantly returned it because of this issue. It's a great lens for still photography, but not good for video work in certain instances. I thought it might have been the copy of the lens I had, but also saw similar complaints on the BH reviews.
I wish Sony would fix this. It would seem correctable in a firmware update.
This issue did happen to me only once when I first started using the lens, I didn't mention it because every time after that it seemed to work fine.
Where can you rent this for $50 for a weekend? I was going to but I think it was like $125 for 3 days. Going from memory.
There is a place in Boulder called ProPhotoRental, they have the 70-200mm f2.8 for $50/2 days, it looks like the 100-400 is not there yet, but since they are the same price new I would think they are the same rental price once they get some in.
I just ordered the canon 100-400 ii and 3 adapters to mount it on the a7iii. One of them MUST be working with the AF ;)
Why canon on Sony? 1.000 euros difference. That’s why!
where are you getting that deal or is that just a currency issue? The 100-400 Canon III has a MSRP of $2,199 USD vs $2,498 for the Sony.
mavfan1 it’s this shop e-infin.com
It’s been years, but I still get thrown off without hearing “DSLR” in the intro! 😬
You kinda remind me of Jimmy McGill from Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad
I love that show.
Wow, those lenses are really expensive, and they're not even fixed aperture!
And sorry for the question, but why all those lenses have that horrible color? Can't they just make them black?
