From the manufacturer

FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS Full-frame E-mount Macro Lens

The full-frame 90mm medium telephoto macro E-mount lens features built in image stabilization for sharp, clear images at up to 1:1 magnification, even when shooting handheld. Advanced optics and coatings with a 9-blade circular aperture deliver exceptionally smooth bokeh that G Lenses are renowned for. Sharp in-focus rendering is achieved with a floating focus mechanism that suppresses aberration equally at all focusing distances, whether the subject is far away or extremely close. Other advanced technologies, such as the Nano AR Coating and Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, elevate overall performance to an extremely high standard.

Features

Nano AR Coating

Effectively suppress reflections that can cause flare and ghosting with Sony’s original Nano AR Coating technology. This precisely defined regular nano-structure allows accurate light transmission, contributing to high-quality images, even more so than lenses with coatings that use an irregular nano-structure. The reflection suppression characteristic of the Nano AR Coating is superior to conventional anti-reflective coatings, providing a notable improvement in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality.

Circular Aperture

When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.

Aspherical lens elements

Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight.

Features

Internal focusing

Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter.

Lens-based optical image stabilization

Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills.

Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) for quiet, precise focusing

Quiet, precise DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) focus drive - employs piezoelectric elements oscillating at ultrasonic frequencies to drive the focus lens groups. In this case two floating focus groups are driven by independent DDSSM systems for precision positioning of the relatively heavy lenses required for macro photography. The DDSSM drive system is remarkably quiet, making it ideal for animal and insect photography, as well as for movies. It also improves the precision of “focus wobble” employed to achieve optimum focus when shooting movies.

Features

focus range

sliding focus ring

Focus hold button

Once you’ve adjusted focus to where you want it, pressing this button on the lens barrel will keep the lens locked to that focusing distance. The preview function can also be assigned to this button through the camera’s custom settings.

Focus range limiter

This function allows you to set a limit on the focusing range which can save you time during AF operation as the lens will not ‘hunt’ through the entire focusing range. In macro lenses, this limit can be on either the near or far range (as pictured). In the SEL90M28G, the limit is set on far ranges only.

Sliding Focus Ring

The focus ring slides back and forth to select manual or auto focus which together with a focus hold button, inner focus, and a focus range limiter provide optimum control for macro photography making it easier to shoot insects and other subjects that cannot be approached too closely. Minimal focus breathing and quiet operation are also advantageous for shooting movies.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019
    When people say this lens is sharp, they aren't kidding. The first picture I took was a pine cone just to test it out - auto focus locked on (though it's not the fastest and hunts a little) and produced a beautiful image without any editing. This is a versatile option, great for close up shots, but I can see it working well for portraits too. Good build quality - feels substantial, and I did drop it once on hard dirt with no ill affect. (Note to self: Don't forget to zip up the back pack!!) I like how the auto focus can be switched on or off by pulling out/pushing in the lens - very convenient, except it doesn't work if you have the lens hood stored on the lens because this blocks access. For image quality I'd say this rivals or comes very close to my GM lenses, but for a lot less money. The items that come with are fairly cheap quality, but considering the price is the same as a stand alone lens, I'm ok with that.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, sharp contrasty lens. AF is sometimes an issue
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2016
    I was looking for a lens for my A6000 that can do great macro while also doubling up as a portrait lens. I will say this: I don't think I could have done better.

    The lens is INSANELY sharp. The details preserved are incredible. I've done 2:1 crops, and still been left with usable images.

    The bokeh is very pleasing. At close distances, even at f16, you get nicely blurred backgrounds, which just melts away.

    The colors pop. I'm pretty sure some Minolta magic was added to this lens, because the colors are very like some great Minoltas.

    Build quality is excellent. It feels very good in the hand, and the push-pull AF-MF changer is the best there ever can be. It is incredibly intuitive, and VERY useful for macro work. The focus hold and OSS ON/OFF switches are great too, and truly make this lens very user friendly. The ribbed focus ring is a pleasure to use, and is damped differently in AF or MF modes. MF mode has hard stops at CFD and infinity. It is technically focus by wire, not mechanically coupled, but it doesn't feel that way. I usually set my camera to DMF for macro work, then adjust focus by shifting between AF and MF seamlessly.

    Focus tends to be accurate, but speed is all over the place. With a good subject-background separation, there's no issues at all. But without that, there's a lot of hunting, especially at the macro range. Perversely, the focus limiter adds to this. You can limit focus so the lens only hunts in the macro range, but this slows down focus a lot. I've had quicker macro focus acquisition by setting the range to full.

    Yes, I know macro lenses don't have great AF anyway. But the fact that the focus limiter hurts, rather than helps, is troubling.

    There's a reasonable amount of focus breathing when doing macro work. I've grown to be able to predict it, and it doesn't bother me too much.

    All said, if you have an E-mount body and need to do macro work, you can't go wrong here, and not only because this is the only legitimate option.

    First off I have to give props to the seller, EP you're freaking awesome. Package arrived earlier than expected and was in perfect condition. Now as for the lense...
    WHAT A BEAST!!!! Beautiful crisp clear scenery shots, amazing low light focal capability and it's an easy to use/figure out lens all around.

    I heard many people complaining about the auto focus noise, but I have not experienced it myself. I find it to be quite silent personally. It is however finicky at times and I found myself using manual focus more often than not.

    The lens itself has got kind of a fixed distance zoom (if that makes any sense), so be aware of that. Example: The picture of my motorcycle, to get it all in frame was taken from about 30' away at night is very poor almost black lighting.

    Note that when your shooting close up, the slightest twist on manual focus is the distance between miles in comparison (see pic of dog). Its a touchy lense but I feel its well worth the lessons it teaches you. A delicate touch will make all the difference.

    My advice: Buy this lens & thank me later..... DO IT!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Upgrade from Kit Lens for a Beginner Photographer
    Reviewed in India on July 14, 2019
    I am a new learner on DSLR system and this 90mm prime is my first upgrade over kit lens. I am very happy with the performance of this lens. As you will see from images attached, the macro capabilities of this lens are phenomenal for a beginner photographer like me. This lens also serves equally well for portrait and landscape shots. Being a 90mm, you definitely cannot frame your portrait shots at close distance to your subject. For a decent bust level portrait, you will need a minimum distance of at least 2 metres from your subject. However, for Macro photography, you can take this lens as close as few centimetres to your subject and the resultant images are excellent in clarity and sharpness. The manual focus adjustment ring on the lens serves well to do quick fine-tuning for some of your shots. Overall, I am happy with this lens selection and the reason which prompted me to go for 90mm F2.8 instead of 50mm F1.8 and 85mm F1.8 is the dual utility of macro and portrait.
