Sony FE 90 mm F2.8 Macro G OSS E-Mount Medium Telephoto Macro Lens, SEL90M28G

One of my favorite lens

Amazing lens, can do portraits and macro

Received a defective lens. It would not focus properly on my Sony A7 IV and struggled to lock focus at all. The camera also occasionally showed “unsupported lens” or “lens not attached” while mounted. Very disappointed with the experience. I later purchased the same lens from another online seller, and that one works perfectly, which confirms the first unit was faulty. Very disappointing experience

I recently purchased the Sony 90mm F2.8 macro lens from this company, and I couldn't be happier. The lens looks and feels incredibly solid, and the build quality is impressive. When it comes to performance, I was blown away by the super sharp images it produces. The seller was also responsive and accommodating, even though there was a slight delay in receiving the invoice. This positive experience has definitely earned my trust in this company for future purchases.

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.

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!

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.
