I brought this 6 months ago and this was the best thing I could have done. I am almost addicted to taking pictures with it and always want to share the results with everyone

the quality of this item is just amazing , both build and results are amazing

The Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS is a sharp and reliable macro lens with excellent image quality. It delivers stunning detail at 1:1 magnification and produces beautiful, smooth bokeh. Autofocus is fast and quiet, and the built-in OSS helps a lot for handheld shooting. With solid G-series build quality and weather sealing, it’s also great for portraits and product photography. A premium lens that’s worth the investment.

I brought this lens about 5 weeks ago and having fun using this Macro lens.

Purchased this lens two weeks now a Very good lens for portrait and macro

Awesome, detail and very sharp, fast focus, really good lens for macro photography

I bought this lens a couple of months ago and it's opened up a whole new world! I'm not the most technical photographer but I've found it easy to use and have achieved some great results with it. I'm more than happy with my purchase.

Bought it for macro which works very well, I have also used it for landscape, very pleased with it

I'm so glad I now have this lens. I use it not only for macro photography; it works well for other types of photography as well.

Great for people and cars. Beautiful sharp images.

Finally got the 90mm G Macro Lens, been wanting to have one for a long time. It’s picture perfect, crystal clear. I’m planning to use it for both Macro & Portraits Photography. The Lens itself feels solid. Highly Recommended

The 90mm lens was purchased a few months ago, so far I am very happy with it. The sharpness is really impressive. This reputation as being sharp was the main reason i purchased it. Pros: Sharpness clarity Colour rendition in certain light. Auto focus Manual focus transition vi the ring. Focus range selection. Cons: Weight, seems to have an issue with high contrast situation becomes harsh possibly needs a ND filter.

This was a recent purchase and one that I had put off for quite a few years, having used my 100-400mm or the 70-200mm Macro for close-up shots. I must say that I am glad that I purchased 90mm Macro ok, it has a bit of a steep learning curve, but that is part of the fun of having a hobby like this.Would I recommend it for sure 👌

IVE HAD THIS LENS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW ITS GREAT OSS FANTASTIC AS IM GETTING OLDER & ARE NOT AS STEADY AS I USED TO BE. BOKEH IS VERY GOOD ALSO.

Love this lens! Have wanted a Macro for years, finally found a great deal on ebay for (new) old stock. Not only is it a leading quality macro lens, but also serves as an amazing 90mm prime lens. Really enjoyed it so far, waiting for winter to break so I can really get some new spring nature shots!

Dropped A7 camera with 90mm lens attached from thigh height, about 2.5' (76cm), and the lens snapped off the body. Four plastic parts are all that was holding this heavy glass to the lens mount of the lens. For the price, I'd expect better construction.

Great lens, Macro photography is a breeze, exceptional quality also doubles as a prime lens

A very sharp lens with beautiful bokeh, a pleasing colour rendition and no significant aberrations - outstanding optical performance. The 90mm focal length allows for a decent stand off from a macro subject of around 30cm (close to the minimum focusing distance) to allow for any lighting solutions you might want and causes little disturbance to active subjects. A very nice focal length for general photography too and could easily substitute for my 70-200 in many circumstances. On my A6700, the focal length is effectively 135mm, which was a prime I liked very much in my film days. The sliding focusing ring is very clever and works well to switch between AF and MF in a natural way while shooting. AF is fast and quiet and on the A6700, very accurate with spot focus. MF can be a bit touchy for macro but camera movement or a focusing rack is generally easier anyway. The built-in stabilisation is very effective, allowing me to hand-hold when previously I would have needed a support. The lens is not small but handles very nicely and its performance is such that the compromise with portability is easy to make. Well made and marked, this is an obvious choice for anyone interested in great quality macro work.

In 2019, I bought two of these brand new which ended up being returned and eventually refunded when the dealer (and Sony) could not find one which was sharp across the entire width of the shot at portrait to landscape distances, even stopped down to f/8. In 2024 I decided to try again with a used lens being offered at a very good price by a main dealer; on testing, it proved to be perfect. And made in 2019! I'm an experienced lens tester and photo magazine technical editor since the mid-1970s so I know my stuff on this. I had been using the Sony SAL A-mount 100mm instead because I found that perfect though not as advanced an optical design. Replaced!

It is a joy to handle. It has quite an old-school feeling about it, but not too heavy. I have just played aroud with the features so far. The focus limiter swich is a good thing - otherwise it is likely to go a-hunting. I have a product photography job next week for which this lens is ideal.

Bought this to embark on a macro journey. So far satisfactory results but really need a flash set up to maximise its potential. Here are some sample pictures taken without flash.

I brought this primarly for macro and I have to say its one of the sharpest lens you can buy its a fantasticly sharp and with that 1x magniication you get amazing detail also its a fantasic portrait lens with that f2.8 give a beautiful bokeh background and at a fantastic price point for a prime lens of this quaility

Fantastic marco lense. Very sharp and easy to use. Excellent value
