Our take on the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens

A full-frame E-mount macro lens with true 1:1 magnification and a medium-telephoto 90mm focal length, so you can fill the frame with small subjects without crowding them. It uses an aspherical element plus ED and Super ED glass, Nano AR coating, a Direct Drive SSM focus motor and Optical SteadyShot, and it focuses internally down to 11 inches. The sliding focus ring switches between AF and manual, and a focus hold button and range limiter help in the field. It is the reference macro for Sony full-frame bodies: rivals like the Sigma 105mm and Sony's own 50mm macro compete on working distance and reach, but few match its combination of 1:1 magnification, stabilization and fast, quiet autofocus.

About the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens

The Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS is a medium telephoto macro prime lens for Sony E-mount cameras. It covers the full-frame format and reaches a 1:1 magnification ratio. On APS-C E-mount cameras, its angle of view is equivalent to a 135mm lens in the 35mm/full-frame format.

The optics include an aspherical element plus ED and Super ED glass, which reduce aberrations. Nano AR Coating suppresses reflections that cause flare and ghosting. Nine aperture blades form a nearly circular diaphragm across the aperture range. The maximum aperture is f/2.8. The lens is dust and moisture resistant.

Focusing is internal, so the lens does not change length and the front filter thread does not rotate. Two Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave AF motors drive the focus groups quietly. A sliding focus ring switches between autofocus and manual focus. A focus hold button locks the focus distance, and a focus range limiter switch narrows the autofocus range. Optical SteadyShot uses gyro sensors and linear motors to counter camera shake.

The lens, front and rear caps, a lens hood and a lens case.
