SEL90M28G

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!

I'm a professional portrait photographer. My main focus is to get the best sharpness photo and natural skin tone. I had some great portrait lenses from sony like the 35mm 1.8 and the 85mm 1.8 and I wasn't sure if this lens will be any difference or will add any value to my photography! But from the amount of good reviews about this lens I decided to buy it and see if will add any value into my output and YES this lens is Amazing sharp and I love the skin details coming out of it. Also it takes me to a different wounderful world of Macro photography its my new hobby now that I have just started! Regarding the build quality and features on this lens absolutely fantastic and I don't need to go in details because these all mentioned by everyone has this lens. If you want to see some of my portrait photoshoot with this lens you can find me on Instagram @faceandlens

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.

Worth the price, the lens is wonderful in almost every aspect. Autofocus is slightly slower than other lenses I have, but it is still one of the funnier lenses to play with. And the manual focus is just perfect and precise. I leave some of the pictures that I've been able to take, with 0 previous experience in macro photography.

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.

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!

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!

If macro is your thing and you have Sony E mount full frame camera the this lens is a must. First things first. It ain't light, but that's a good thing as t feels super stable when using it hand held. Optical stabilisation is built in, and together with the in-body stabilisation chances are you will get that shot. The focus limiter switch is a godsend when working close hope as it stops the lens from hunting for focus. Picture quality is really something else. The attached image was taken handheld 1/200sec f8 iso 100 And this is a crop of the full size image. I think that life with this lens s going to be amazing.

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

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.

Contaba ya con cinco lentes Sony de distintas distancias focales y calidades. Aunque Sony destaca por su portabilidad y calidad en video, siempre sentí que había ópticas de otras marcas daban mejores resultados en fotografía. Éste es el primer lente que siente que iguala y sobrepasa a cualquier otro con el que haya trabajado. El costo y los años que lleva en el mercado me hacían dudar si adquirirlo o no, pero una vez que comienzas a usarlo se te pasan las dudas. Lo he usado para fotografiar insectos, fotografiar imágenes de libros que no podía pasar por un escáner (y que después fue reproducida en una altura de metro y medio) y para retrato en estudio. Los resultados son sensacionales. En el caso del retrato, es cierto que enfatiza un poco las irregularidades en la piel, pero con los programas de edición actuales es un detalle que se corrige en un minuto, mientras que realza otras cosas y disminuye el tiempo que toma hacerlo en edición.

is very great

En tant que photographe passionné de macrophotographie, j'ai récemment investi dans l'objectif macro Sony G 90 mm F2.8 pour mon appareil Sony Alpha, et je suis absolument ravi de mon achat. Voici mon retour d'expérience après plusieurs semaines d'utilisation. Points Positifs : Qualité d'Image Exceptionnelle : La netteté de cet objectif est tout simplement incroyable. Chaque détail est capturé avec une précision impressionnante, même à pleine ouverture. Les couleurs sont riches et naturelles, et le bokeh produit par cet objectif est doux et agréable à l'œil, ce qui est parfait pour isoler le sujet dans une composition macro. Autofocus Rapide et Précis : L'autofocus est extrêmement réactif, même en mode macro, où la mise au point peut parfois être délicate. Grâce au moteur linéaire de Sony, l'autofocus est à la fois rapide et silencieux, ce qui est un atout majeur pour la photographie de nature, notamment pour capturer des insectes ou des plantes en mouvement. Construction Solide et Ergonomique : L'objectif est bien construit, avec une finition en métal qui inspire confiance. Il est également résistant aux poussières et à l'humidité, ce qui est essentiel pour les prises de vue en extérieur. Les commandes manuelles, comme la bague de mise au point et l'interrupteur de limiteur de mise au point, sont bien placées et faciles à utiliser. Polyvalence : Bien que cet objectif soit conçu pour la macro, il fonctionne également de manière exceptionnelle pour les portraits. La focale de 90 mm est idéale pour capturer des portraits avec une belle compression de l'arrière-plan, et l'ouverture maximale de f/2.8 permet de travailler dans des conditions de faible luminosité tout en créant un effet de flou agréable. Points d'Amélioration : Poids : Bien que la construction en métal soit un avantage pour la durabilité, elle ajoute également du poids à l'objectif. Pour les longues sessions de photographie à main levée, cela peut devenir un peu fatigant. Prix : Cet objectif est assez cher, mais compte tenu de la qualité d'image et des performances qu'il offre, je pense que c'est un investissement qui vaut la peine pour les photographes sérieux. Conclusion : En résumé, le Sony G 90 mm F2.8 est un objectif macro exceptionnel qui excelle dans tous les domaines clés : netteté, autofocus, construction, et polyvalence. Il est idéal pour les photographes qui cherchent à capturer des détails minutieux avec une clarté incroyable, tout en étant suffisamment polyvalent pour être utilisé dans d'autres genres de photographie, comme le portrait. Je le recommande fortement à quiconque souhaite améliorer son équipement avec un objectif de haute qualité.
