Better Than I Hoped For

This was a recent purchase and one that I had put off for quite a few years, having used my 100-400mm or the 70-200mm Macro for close-up shots. I must say that I am glad that I purchased 90mm Macro ok, it has a bit of a steep learning curve, but that is part of the fun of having a hobby like this.Would I recommend it for sure ??

Not well built

Dropped A7 camera with 90mm lens attached from thigh height, about 2.5' (76cm), and the lens snapped off the body. Four plastic parts are all that was holding this heavy glass to the lens mount of the lens. For the price, I'd expect better construction.

Tack sharp and lovely to use

A very sharp lens with beautiful bokeh, a pleasing colour rendition and no significant aberrations - outstanding optical performance. The 90mm focal length allows for a decent stand off from a macro subject of around 30cm (close to the minimum focusing distance) to allow for any lighting solutions you might want and causes little disturbance to active subjects. A very nice focal length for general photography too and could easily substitute for my 70-200 in many circumstances. On my A6700, the focal length is effectively 135mm, which was a prime I liked very much in my film days. The sliding focusing ring is very clever and works well to switch between AF and MF in a natural way while shooting. AF is fast and quiet and on the A6700, very accurate with spot focus. MF can be a bit touchy for macro but camera movement or a focusing rack is generally easier anyway. The built-in stabilisation is very effective, allowing me to hand-hold when previously I would have needed a support. The lens is not small but handles very nicely and its performance is such that the compromise with portability is easy to make. Well made and marked, this is an obvious choice for anyone interested in great quality macro work.

Finally found a good example

In 2019, I bought two of these brand new which ended up being returned and eventually refunded when the dealer (and Sony) could not find one which was sharp across the entire width of the shot at portrait to landscape distances, even stopped down to f/8. In 2024 I decided to try again with a used lens being offered at a very good price by a main dealer; on testing, it proved to be perfect. And made in 2019! I'm an experienced lens tester and photo magazine technical editor since the mid-1970s so I know my stuff on this. I had been using the Sony SAL A-mount 100mm instead because I found that perfect though not as advanced an optical design. Replaced!

Lens jewellery - a lovely, lovely thing

It is a joy to handle. It has quite an old-school feeling about it, but not too heavy. I have just played aroud with the features so far. The focus limiter swich is a good thing - otherwise it is likely to go a-hunting. I have a product photography job next week for which this lens is ideal.

Bought this to embark on a macro journey. So far satisfactory results but really need a flash set up to maximise its potential. Here are some sample pictures taken without flash.

What a lens, wow!

WHAT A BEAST!!!! Beautiful crisp clear scenery shots, amazing low light focal capability and it's an easy to use/figure out lens all around. I heard many people complaining about the auto focus noise, but I have not experienced it myself. I find it to be quite silent personally. It is however finicky at times and I found myself using manual focus more often than not. The lens itself has got kind of a fixed distance zoom (if that makes any sense), so be aware of that. Example: The picture of my motorcycle, to get it all in frame was taken from about 30' away at night is very poor almost black lighting. Note that when your shooting close up, the slightest twist on manual focus is the distance between miles in comparison (see pic of dog). Its a touchy lense but I feel its well worth the lessons it teaches you. A delicate touch will make all the difference. My advice: Buy this lens & thank me later..... DO IT!

May be the sharpest lens I've ever seen

In the last 5 years I have grown to love macro photography. I came from another system with strong macro lens choices. I bought this to go with my A7RV specifically to play with the focus bracketing features and it has not disappointed. The lens feels very nice and the push/pull focus ring is brilliant! Optical steady shot, focus hold and range limiter are just some of the things that showed that Sony took Macro shooters seriously. There really isnt a more feature-loaded macro lens out there from anyone else.

Broken Product - No Support

My product appears to be defective. I tried contacting support, but the robots keep telling me that they will transfer me to an agent and hang up the phone. The chat bot does the same thing. The non-existent support is worse than the broken product. There isn't even an e-mail address to send a request to. Registering the product doesn't open any other support options.

Great image quality

Great image quality and build. However, severe focus breathing and hunting when light is not the best. F/2.8 is of little value when you cannot obtain sharp focus when subject is not fully illuminated. It is a good value for the money when used within its limitations.

Very happy with the sharpness of this lenses for my food photography. However, find it a bit difficult and slow to use manual focus on my RV as well as on the lenses. Need to improve my depth of field as well.

The Sharpness is Amazing

I have several lenses, both Sony and non-Sony, primes and zooms, all of them pretty good, but this lens is in a class of its own. I read all the glowing reviews before I bought it and I now understand why almost all the reviews were so positive and full of praise. The lens is so good I use it, of course for macro, but for everything where a range of 90mm is suitable.

FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS lens is great

Apart from being good optically there is also image stabilisation. I also like the Focus button (G) that I have as a focus magnifier. Another neat feature is the ability to easily change from autofocus to manual via the lens ring switch without taking your eye off the shot. A great lens to have for macro nature shots.

Fantastic Lens - for macro and more

I've been using the lens for 2 months now. I have used it as a macro lens (why I bought it), a portrait lens (an ideal focal length) and for landscapes (incredibly sharp prime). It is great value.

About Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS

PRO REVIEW by Jessica Hirsch, Food and Travel Photographer

"I love this lens for my collection because of the ability to get closer to my subject (usually food). I also have used it for portraits and really love its color and crispness for these shots."

Where precision and versatility meet, the FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens stands out as a stellar choice for photographers and videographers alike. This full-frame, medium telephoto macro lens is designed for Sony's E-mount cameras and is engineered to deliver sharp, clear images at up to 1:1 magnification, even when shooting handheld, thanks to its built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization.

The lens's advanced optics are complemented by a 9-blade circular aperture, which produces exceptionally smooth bokeh - a signature quality of Sony's G Lenses. Whether capturing portraits with a creamy background or the intricate details of close-up subjects, this lens renders out-of-focus areas with a pleasing aesthetic.

A floating focus mechanism ensures consistent suppression of aberrations across all focusing distances, from infinity to extreme close-ups. This results in sharp, in-focus rendering that photographers can rely on, regardless of the distance to their subject.

Sony's original Nano AR Coating technology is a key feature of this lens, effectively reducing reflections that can lead to flare and ghosting. The precision of this nano-structure coating allows for accurate light transmission, enhancing image clarity, contrast, and overall quality.

The lens's circular aperture contributes to the beautiful bokeh effect by maintaining an almost perfectly circular shape from its widest setting to when it is stopped down by two stops. This design ensures smoother, more natural defocusing than conventional aperture blades.

Aspherical lens elements are incorporated to minimize spherical aberration while also reducing the lens's size and weight. These elements help maintain high sharpness and contrast, even at the lens's maximum aperture, and contribute to a reduction in overall distortion.

The internal focusing mechanism of the lens means only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus. This design keeps the lens's length constant during focusing, provides faster autofocus, and maintains a short minimum focusing distance. Additionally, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is particularly convenient when using polarizing filters.

A focus hold button on the lens barrel allows photographers to lock the focus at the desired distance, and this button can also be customized for preview functions through the camera's settings. The focus range limiter is another feature that saves time during autofocus by preventing the lens from 'hunting' through the entire focus range.

The sliding focus ring offers a tactile control for switching between manual and autofocus modes, and together with the focus hold button, inner focus, and focus range limiter, it provides optimal control for macro photography. This is especially useful for capturing subjects like insects that require a careful approach.

For video applications, the lens offers minimal focus breathing and operates quietly, which is essential for maintaining immersion in your footage. The lens-based optical image stabilization is driven by gyro sensors that detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any potential image blur.

Finally, the Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) employs piezoelectric elements oscillating at ultrasonic frequencies to drive the focus lens groups. With two floating focus groups driven by independent DDSSM systems, the lens achieves precise positioning of the heavy elements required for macro photography. The system is remarkably quiet, making it suitable for capturing wildlife and for movie shooting, while also enhancing the precision of focus adjustments.

The FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens is a testament to Sony's commitment to high-quality imaging and precision technology, making it an indispensable tool for both professional and enthusiast photographers who demand the best in macro and portrait photography.
