From the manufacturer

SEL100F28GM Sony Alpha Full-frame E-mount Smooth Trans Focus lens

A unique 100mm mid-telephoto lens featuring STF (Smooth Trans Focus) technology that can elevate portraits and subjects that benefit from smooth background bokeh to new artistic heights while boasting G Master resolution. It also offers close-up capability with up to 0.25x magnification and fast, precise and quiet autofocus. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization minimizes blur. (camera body shown sold separately)

Features

Unique Smooth Trans Focus G Master

G Master design combines extraordinary sharpness and smooth Bokeh in one lens. STF (Smooth Trans Focus) realizes an ultimate collaboration of impressive bokeh and high resolution that only Sony can offer. It is not easy to achieve spatial frequency of 50 line pairs per millimeter at a lens' widest aperture and produce smooth beautiful bokeh at the same time, but that is 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.

Apodization element eliminates distortion of defocused highlight s

A unique feature of the STF lens is the special optical apodization (APD) element which produces exceptionally smooth background and foreground bokeh. The APD element acts as a graduated neutral density filter, with light transmissivity highest at the center and then gradually decreasing towards the periphery to ensure extraordinarily smooth bokeh. The APD element ensures equally smooth foreground and background defocus, without double-line effects.

Selectable Macro mode – two lenses in one.

Besides being a perfect portrait lens, the SEL100F28GM incorporates a convenient ring-switch on the lens barrel to select from full range to a macro range. With close-up focus capability up to 1.87ft. (0.57m) min. and 0.25x max. magnification. It’s like having two lenses in one.

Features

Instant auto/manual focus selection

Instantly and quickly switch between auto and manual focus via an AM/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you, or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you chose.

11-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokeh

The 11-blade circular aperture maximizes the beauty of this large-aperture prime-lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background bokeh 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 from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.

Aspherical lens dramatically reduces spherical aberration

Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight.

Features

Dust and moisture resistant for robust reliability1

The dust and moisture resistance design makes this lens appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather resistant measures1.

Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) for fast, quiet, precise focusing

The SEL100F28GM lens supports both contrast AF and focal-plane phase detection AF, and has a high-precision Direct Drive Super Sonic Motor (DDSSM) system that ensures exceptionally fast, quiet and accurate AF performance. The focusing system’s double linear motor takes on the vital role of providing high-speed actuation for the AF contrast detection system when shooting video.

Significantly reduces blur

High-performance Optical SteadyShot image stabilization is built right into the lens for sharp, blur-free images with a wide range of subjects. The stabilization lens is driven by a linear motor for fast, precise stabilization. Additionally, 5-axis image stabilization becomes available when used with α series cameras that feature built-in image stabilization.

Features

F2.8 max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field

F2.8 max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the areas out of the focal plane appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background is enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens.

Footnotes

1 Although the design is dust and moisture resistant, absolute protection from dust and moisture is not guaranteed.

    Hands down the best portrait lens on the market. Don't sleep on this lens.
    Absolutely, the best lens for portriats. Currently my go to is the 85mm 1.4, but I think this 100mm STP 2.8 will take over as my front runner.. I took a few shots with it and I was blown away at it's performance. Can't wait to use it on a full shoot.
