SEL90M28G E Mount - Full Frame 90mm F2.8 Telephoto Macro G Lens

I own a couple of FE lenses for my Sony A7M2, all of which are fantastic in their own right, however this one has now taken the #1 favourite spot of them all, it's just a very pleasant lens to use and the quality of imagery you can get from this is phenomenal. Inside the box you also get a carry pouch, a plastic conical lens hood and the normal bits of paper work. The whole lens body has a robust and top quality feel, making you feel like you paid for a product that means business. There are a couple of switches and features located on the exterior, which are: ∙ Auto Focus Range Switch: Full Range | Infinity - 0.5m | 0.5m - 0.28m. When you get used to knowing your distance, using this switch to specifically tell the camera will speed up the auto focus greatly as it can concentrate on one area. ∙ Optical Steady Shot Switch: On | Off. For when used handheld, will help reduce shake on photos. ∙ Hold Focus Button: When held in AF mode, it will cancel the auto-focus and lock it into its current focus range. ∙ Focus Ring: The focus ring can be changed from AF to MF by sliding it towards you and back to AF by sliding it away; this makes it useful when you want to quickly change between the two. The manual focus distance is also marked on the lens, so when switching back to MF, it will remember which distance to focus in on (unless you somehow accidentally moved it). I personally found the focus ring to have decent grip. The great thing about having a 90mm macro lens is that it allows you to get closer to your subject without being so close to it. I also own the normal 30mm macro lens which was designed around Sony's APS-C sensor camera range, however to get really close shots will require you to get very close, sometimes resulting in having the lens shadow on your subject; using this lens will prevent it happening as often. Macro photography certainly isn't easy, so if you're just getting into it, do have patience. The slight movement will make your subject out of focus as the depth of focus is so shallow, especially at its widest F/2.8 aperture, so I'd recommend going between F/8 - F/16. The detail you can get in macro shots when focused properly is simply superb. Macro photography isn't where it stops with this lens; portrait and candid shots are also its strong areas. Whilst I do prefer Sony's 55mm F/1.8 lens for portraits, I can never get decent candid shots with it as I need to be much closer; so now having that ability has pleased me greatly. You can still get a decent shallow depth of field with the F/2.8 aperture and this lens can deliver decent bokeh too. As for sharpness, if you get the focus right, it's very good. I highly recommend this lens, top stars from me!

This is the best lens in this category. Clear, sharp and producing amazing images either for portrait or macro photography. I recommend it to anyone wanting to get great results.

The product arrived exactly as described and matched the pictures perfectly. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and works as expected. The materials are of good quality, and I am happy with the performance so far. Overall, the item is well worth the price I paid, and I’m satisfied with the purchase. Would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of product!

I'm an amatuear and had the 30mm macro from Sony which was awful, I could not get insect shots. It was either out of focus or just naf all round. Given the lens cost me about £200, I was somewhere reluctant to spend £800 on this full frame lens, but I took the risk based on the amazing reviews. I could not be more happy, I have been nailing some incredible insect shots and the whole process of doing it, wondering if you got the shot of something you can't even see with the naked eye, is just pure fun and has sparked life into my love of photography. If I can get results like this with this lens, so can you! I'm using it with a Sony A6400, so it works a treat with a crop sensor too! it's just amazing! buy it!

This is an epic lens, the sharpest lens out there. But it as a big problem, you would expect superior build quality at this price rand but this lens needs some redesign. The problem with this lens is style over function, the focusing ring is very brittle and only lasts an average of 18 month to 2 years and will need to be sent back for repairs. There is 2 plates in side that are glued together and can cum loos damaging the lens causing it to not be recognized by the camera. No AF / MF no power to any of the switches on the side and the lens aperture blades will ratel and make a bad nose when you switch on the camera. Fixing costs up £300 £500 Please buy the extended warranty. Still 100% recommend this lens. but be be careful.

After using this lens for a few months, I feel I can write an informed review for this lens. It's quite large (though, not the largest lens) but you can walk around with it attached. The top of the lens has a the focusing ring, which is easy to use. You can pull this down slightly to switch into manual focus and push it back up to return to camera controlled focus really quickly. Whilst a nice feature, it is relatively easy to unintentionally shift the ring into manual focus. Causing the camera to be in manual focus mode, which prevents auto focus from working (obviously) it can be quite confusing sometimes until you realise why your camera is not working. This is more user error than a fault of the lens, but worth keeping in mind during use. In terms of auto-focus, I find the lens hunts around far more than my other lenses. It auto-focuses fine but is no-where near as snappy as my other lenses. I would say auto-focus is disappointing (to me) but that isn't really the reason you buy this lens. Switching between auto-focus and manual focus is super quick and simple however using the focus ring. Image quality is stunningly sharp however, I have attached some photo's I have taken with this lens. Indeed the first picture I tested it with contained far more detail than I was used to seeing. It also works fantastically for macro, the almost medium telephoto length and the ability to get close give great scaling of the subject, coupled with the lens sharpness and the ability to easily switch into manual focus make macro work easy to work with. Overall, the only fault I have with this lens is the sluggish auto-focus and (through my own fault) sometimes unknowingly switching to manual focus. As I use it more often, the manual focus switch becomes less of an issue as it becomes the first thing I check when the camera start behaving strangely. But you cannot fault the image quality at all.

I paid £624 from Amazon Marketplace so no quibbles about the value as the lens looked and worked 'as new' with all accessories and guides included. I'm using on my Sony Alpha 7 III. I've been impressed with the macro photographs taken with this lens

Incredible 90mm Full frame Sony G Lens. F2.8 Macro. I use Zeiss and Sony Lenses E Mount. Having used Zeiss on a Haselblad H Series. These Sony Lenses are definitively in the same league for there class. Used on a full frame Sensor this Prime lens is worth every penny. I have tended to use Prime lenses rather than Zoom but the Sony GM 24-70 will be my next lens as the optical quality is unrivalled . This 90 mm lens on the Sony Alpha A7Rii its magnificent for stills or motion. i have been in the business for 30 years and there only used to be two options. This is Disruptive technology.

Es geht um das Makroobjektiv SONY „FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS“. Das ist wohl immer noch eines der besten Makro-Objektive auf dem Weltmarkt überhaupt, obwohl schon einige Zeit seit seiner Markteinführung vergangen ist. Das bestätigen seriöse Tests von z.B. Christopher Frost. Wer dieses Objektiv kauft, macht nichts falsch, wenn die Brennweite passt! Die Auflösung dieses Makro-Objektives ist bei jedem Abbildungsmaßstab exzellent, und dabei braucht es nicht abgeblendet zu werden. Der Autofokus ist schnell und präzise. Erstaunlich finde ich, dass es zu einem günstigen Preis angeboten wird, obwohl es AF und sogar eine gute optische Stabilisierung hat! Besonders praktisch ist der Fokusring, der jederzeit die blitzschnelle Umschaltung auf den manuellen Fokus erlaubt, in dem man ihn zurückzieht. Schiebt man den Fokusring nach vorne, funktioniert wieder der AF. Das ist genial bei Freihand-Makroaufnahmen! Ich finde den Drehwinkel des Fokusringes gut gewählt, nicht zu groß, und nicht zu klein. Das manuelle Scharfstellen gelingt so leicht und schnell. Praktisch ist auch die kombinierte Abstands- und Abbildungsmaßstabs-Skala am Fokusring. Auch Schalter für die Fokuswegbegrenzung und die optische Stabilisierung sind eingebaut. Die Brennweite ist günstig, weil sich damit auch beim maximalen Abbildungsmaßstab ein ausreichend großer Abstand zur Frontlinse des Objektivs ergibt. Damit kann man die Mindest-Fluchtdistanz vieler Kleintiere einhalten. Außerdem hat man dann auch kaum Probleme, Makromotive frontal ausleuchten zu können. (Ich verwende dafür einen Ringblitz.) Da ich seit kurzem eine Kamera mit Onboard Fokus Bracketing habe (SONY α6700), kann ich zusammen mit meinem Makroblitz ganz leicht Focus Stacking Makro-Aufnahmen machen. Für das Focus Stacking benutze ich die Software „FRANZIS 70819 - FOCUS projects 5 pro“, die kinderleicht zu bedienen ist, denn das Laden, Ausrichten und Stacken der Einzeldateien geschieht praktisch vollautomatisch, und ohne dass ich irgendwelche Einstellungen machen mußte (80 Euronen bei Amazon)! Heraus kommt eine Datei, die nur einige MB groß ist. Das Makro-Motiv ist trotz Blende 8 wirklich über seine gesamte Bildtiefe knackscharf! Phantastisch! So macht Makro-Fotografie richtig Spaß. Habe ich also gar keine Negativpunkte? Eigentlich nicht, denn daß der AF nicht absolut lautlos arbeitet, ist bei einem Makroobjektiv doch eigentlich egal, oder? Ich mache jedenfalls keine Videos mit dem Makroobjektiv, wo die Geräusche des AF vielleicht von den Kamera internen Mikrofonen aufgenommen werden könnten. Das Objektiv ist einfach klasse! Ich würde es wieder kaufen.

The clarity is of the highest level. It might take 1 or 2 days to get used to it but once you get comfortable, there is no stopping you from taking amazing pictures

Amo este lente, tenia muchas dudas antes de comprarlo, pero de verdad estoy feliz. Todo está en perfecto estado

Yaşlı bir model olmasına rağmen anlatıldığı kadar keskin ve duyarlı bir lens. Af/Mf geçiş çok kolay ve mutlu ediyor. Her lenste görmek istediğim bir tasarım. Minimum focus mesafesi sensörden itibaren ölçülüyormuş. Bunu bilmiyordum. Koruma kapağı takılı halde 2-3 cm kadar hedefe yaklaşabiliyor. Bu arada af hızının şikayet edildiği kadar yavaş olduğunu düşünmüyorum. Boşuna tasalanmışım. Makrodan sonsuza focus aradığı için pompalaması çok doğal. Bunu sınırlamak için odak mesafe sınırlama imkanı var. Zaten makro için daha çok manuel kullanım söz konusu. Fiyat/performans olarak çoğu lense göre oldukça başarılı buldum.

is very great
