Fresh leaked images have surfaced showing Sony’s upcoming 100mm f/2.8 GM OSS macro lens, set for official announcement on September 30. This new lens will replace the aging 90mm f/2.8 OSS G macro, bringing significant upgrades to Sony’s macro photography lineup.
The most notable improvement is the elevation from G to GM (Gold Master) status, indicating Sony’s highest quality tier. The new 100mm lens features several professional enhancements including a dedicated aperture ring, AF-MF switch, Full Time DMF functionality, and an IRIS lock mechanism—all absent from its predecessor.
The focal length increase from 90mm to 100mm provides slightly more working distance for macro subjects, while maintaining the fast f/2.8 aperture. The optical image stabilization (OSS) carries over to help with handheld macro shooting.
Pricing remains unconfirmed, though sources suggest it could approach the $2000 mark, reflecting its premium GM positioning. This appears to be Sony’s only gear announcement planned for September 30, with the anticipated A7V camera pushed to October or November.
The lens represents Sony’s continued commitment to expanding their GM macro offerings for professional and enthusiast photographers demanding the highest optical quality.
