- Is the Sony 100-400mm GM worth it?
- For wildlife and sports on E-mount, yes: it is sharp, fast-focusing and stabilized. If you shoot mostly in low light, a faster prime may suit you better.
- Does it work with Sony teleconverters?
- Yes, it accepts the Sony 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, giving 140-560mm or 200-800mm. Both reduce the maximum aperture and cost extra.
- How does it compare with the Sony 200-600mm?
- The 200-600mm reaches further and costs less but is bigger and heavier. The 100-400mm is smaller, lighter and takes teleconverters.
- Is the aperture fast enough for indoor sports?
- At f/4.5-5.6 it is slow for dim gyms and evening games. You will need high ISO or a faster prime like a 70-200mm f/2.8.
- What is in the box?
- The lens, front and rear caps, a lens hood, a tripod collar and a soft case. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
- When is it cheapest?
- It rarely discounts deeply. Watch for Sony seasonal sales and bundle deals; the current $4,298 at Adorama is near the top of its recent range.
