Ist image is actually a reflection in a Koi pond of a little girl watching the fish. I did find it focused slightly quicker on my A7s over my A7II but both were acceptable to me. It is just slower than what a normal 90 may give you. With that said, it is not slow by any means. Macro lenses are just slower, that is a fact of Macro life, so if you buy this lens, be sure you want to use it for its intended purpose as you may not be 100% happy with the AF speed if shooting normal scenes. Macro lenses in general have slower AF as they work harder when up close to get that perfect focus. The AF, being a Macro lens is not the speediest. Portraits, distant shots, close-ups, doesn’t matter. I found the 90 Macro to be suited to just about ANY shooting one would do with any 90mm lens. The reason it appears that way is that the 90 2.8 offers smooth as silk Bokeh when you are up close to your subject, making it a creamy bokeh fest. The last image above reminds me of something that would come from a Leica Noctilux, which is an $11k lens. I had no issues with CA, distortion or other nasties we sometimes see with lenses on digital cameras. The Bokeh is creamy, color is rich and the detail, when you nail focus, is superb. The good news is the lens has built-in optical steady shot, so minor hand shakes will be compensated for. Me, I did not have my tripod handy, so had to stick with wide open and handheld. This is why most serious Macro shooters use a tripod, and manual focus.this ensures an in focus shot. Any movement will render the image soft or useless as you will be out of focus, even with a breath of you lungs. See my 1st look video on this lens and another new lens for the FE mount…it basically gives you the lowdown on the lensĪs you can see, the lens is on the larger side, it is a teeny but larger than the 35 1.4 and 16-35 but smaller than the 70-200 □ As I used the lens at Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale AZ I was having a rough time getting AF because when you are up close to you subject it is VERY hard to handhold and stay within your depth of field. The only weakness is the size, but I have used other Macro 90mm lenses that are just as large or larger and again, this is a full frame lens, so they are always larger than Micro 4/3 or APS-C. I was able to shoot a few images with it, and as I said, I am not a Macro guy, so take my words as what they are…a Novice macro shooter talking about a macro lens that he enjoyed using □ I have reviewed and LOVED the Olympus 60 Macro but this Sony is up there – a step above in build quality over the Olympus, and the IQ is fantastic as well, just what I would expect from Sony in 2015. My 35 1.4 review is HERE.īut today I want to talk little about the new 90 Macro. Even the little inexpensive 28 f/2 is ASTOUNDING for the price point. They are making sure they are releasing SUPERB quality glass for their superb A7 system. ![]() Sure, their premium lenses are on the large side, but the quality is top-notch, leaving you wanting for nothing more. One thing I have been appreciating lately is the way Sony has been stepping up their game. The lens is large but the lens is of great quality. ![]() Lenses like the amazing 35 1.4 or 28 f/2 are ones I use almost daily and now Sony sent me the new 90 2.8 G Macro to test out, and I was happy to attach it to my A7’s and shoot! These days Sony has released a load of lenses onto this full frame system, and we now have some amazing lenses for use with our A7 cameras. With the Sony FE A7 system, users have had a lack of lenses up until recently. That is what it is all about, and this is a lens that allows us to do just that, if we have the skill to do so □ With that said, Macro lenses are popular as many LOVE to shoot the little things of this world in a way that makes them appear larger than life. I seriously lack the skills for this kind of photography and while I have always been fascinated by it, I just never really invested in a Macro lens for myself, to use, to learn, to get up close to my subjects. I will start this review off by saying I am NOT a Macro shooter. The Sony 90mm Macro 2.8 G lens for the FE (A7) System
