- Is the Sony 100-400mm GM worth it over the 70-200mm GM?
- If you need reach beyond 200mm for wildlife or sports, yes. The 70-200mm is faster and lighter but much shorter; the 100-400mm covers far more distance and takes teleconverters.
- Does it work with Sony teleconverters?
- Yes. It accepts the Sony 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, giving 140-560mm and 200-800mm, though the maximum aperture drops to F6.3-8 and F9-11.
- How heavy is it?
- About 3.3 lb (1,495 g) without the tripod collar. Plan on a monopod or the collar for long handheld sessions.
- Is the aperture fast enough for indoor sports?
- At 400mm it is F5.6, which is dim for indoor gyms. You will need high ISO or a faster prime like the 400mm F2.8.
- What is in the box?
- The lens, front and rear caps, a lens hood, a tripod collar and a soft case.
