Needs stopping down to reduce softness at closer distances.Weather sealing, focus-lock button, focus limiter, dual MF-mechanism.Vignetting and distortions corrected well through lens-profile.Only little longitudinal colour aberrations.Very good resolution and contrast at most object distances.Editor’s note: with Sony producing new G Master versions of some of its older lenses, I wonder if a high-end macro is in the works, albeit perhaps with a different focal length or aperture than the 90mm? It may be more expensive than Sigma’s 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro Art and also a little less sharp but all-in-all the FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS still earns a recommendation.

Its feature set is nice – including the option to switch manual focus between linear and non-linear gearing. It also produces a pretty soft Bokeh and has almost no colour aberrations. It produces very sharp images with very little field-curvature – although for optimal results it should be stopped down to f4.0 when shooting at closer distances. Sony’s FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS may be a few years old now, but remains a very good macro lens which also doubles up as a light telephoto. Sony FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS final verdict And with a price that’s comfortably below Sony’s FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS the Sigma clearly earns a Highly Recommended!įor more details see my Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG DN Marcro Art review. Its reliance on in-body image stabilization may look like a disadvantage, but with sensor-based stabilization becoming better with newer camera bodies this may well turn out to be a benefit. It produces extremely sharp images devoid of colour aberrations and has a very good feature set – including a de-clickable aperture ring and the options to use teleconverters and get the lens-mount swapped (at a cost). Its performance is excellent, out-resolving the Sony FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS at f2.8 in almost every test especially at close and closest distances. The 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro Art is the first macro lens for Sigma’s DN-series of lenses designed specifically for mirrorless cameras, currently available in Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount. Let’s put this into perspective and have a closer look at how the Sony compares to the more recent Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro Art.Ĭompared to Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG DN Macro Art
#Sony 90mm macro g software
And if you develop RAW files from this lens with Adobe’s RAW-converter don’t forget to manually activate distortion compensation in the software as Adobe does not recognize the camera setting. Flare, (veiling) glare, and ghosting could be better suppressed and there is visible focus-breathing which might be distracting when shooting videos. Bokeh is pretty soft although Bokeh balls are not perfectly circular at f2.8 when focused close. Its autofocus is quiet, reliable, and not too slow. It shows only mild colour aberrations and has practically no field-curvature which is important when reproducing flat objects. How’s it perform? The lens is very sharp across the full-frame sensor but benefits from stopping down to f4.0 once you focus closer. This all comes at a price which does not seem unreasonable for a light tele-photo macro lens from a camera manufacturer. Only a de-clickable aperture ring is missing and you cannot use teleconverters. It has a pretty complete feature-set with thorough weather sealing, optical image stabilization, focus limiter, focus-lock button, and an interesting dual mechanism for manual focus: you can switch between fast linear focus gearing and slow variable gearing for precise manual focus. The FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS was the first mirrorless design for macro work on Sony’s E-mount cameras when it came out in 2015.
