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!

I purchased about 2 weeks ago and already loving the photos I am taking. I have a lot to learn with macro photography but with more practice I will understand the lens and the science of macro photography better.

The one lens you need if your looking to get into commercial photography and videography. I wasted so much money on so many lenses, but this one fits all the studio needs.

Excellent product had for 2 weeks image quality is super sharp

A sharp lens it does the job for me. I am very pleased with the photographs

I bought this lens as a novice to try some macro shots. Makes me look like a professional

even, the best proxy lens i ever tried ! i even been able to film a wasp making his clean-up in a such picture quality, colors et details ! i wouldn't had success this with another device ^^ i like especially the large ring that you can "pull" in a way to "MF" on your own way and "pull" again, AF is back, you have nothing else to do, this lens then is very reactiv et versatyl, you can also make some scene in a certain order of the things, it's really one of my favourite lens, thanks guyz to built it !!! :D

In the last 5 years I have grown to love macro photography. I came from another system with strong macro lens choices. I bought this to go with my A7RV specifically to play with the focus bracketing features and it has not disappointed. The lens feels very nice and the push/pull focus ring is brilliant! Optical steady shot, focus hold and range limiter are just some of the things that showed that Sony took Macro shooters seriously. There really isnt a more feature-loaded macro lens out there from anyone else.

Very good product for macro as well as close up portraits.

My product appears to be defective. I tried contacting support, but the robots keep telling me that they will transfer me to an agent and hang up the phone. The chat bot does the same thing. The non-existent support is worse than the broken product. There isn't even an e-mail address to send a request to. Registering the product doesn't open any other support options.

i have used this lens to take some of the coolest shots! the macro is breath taking and i feel like im in a whole new world. the only *downside* is the size and weight but its something you get used to. The clutch is pretty awesome!

The reason I bought this lens because it is the only macro lens from Sony. Although it was out for some time, it still produces great macro photos. Love it.

Great image quality and build. However, severe focus breathing and hunting when light is not the best. F/2.8 is of little value when you cannot obtain sharp focus when subject is not fully illuminated. It is a good value for the money when used within its limitations.

I’ve used this lens for several years now, photographing everything from product photography, wedding detail shots, to marco work and even portraits. I’ve shot with the best of the best for over 30 years and nothing beats the image quality of this lens. Add the optical image stabilization and manual/auto focus ring, and this is about as close to a perfect lens as you can get.

Recently acquired the 90mm to compliment my 85mmGM and extend my capabilities from portraits into the world of macro level for up close detailed products and nature shots. This 90mm 2.8 has practically lived on my camera body and is lighter than my 85mmGM 1.4, which has also led to longer excursions out and about as its lighter weight on my A7R3 tahn my other lenses - those few grams make all the difference. The clutch mechanism for shifting between manual to auto focus is definitely an addition i favour, making things hands on and tactile. Stunning level of separation and compression at a macro level and sharp as a swords edge. Favourite lens. Which has me exploring macro in the winter months. My 200-600G and 85mm1.4 GM are practically hermetically sealed in storage at the moment as here in the UK the spring season has meant budding flowers and the awakening world of insects are very much my interest. A beautiful lens that truly changes a photographers perspective of the physical world, thoroughly recommend and you wont regret it! Pick one up and see things in a new way!

Incredibly sharp lens, manual focus clutch is great, autofocus a little slow but this is a macro after all

Very happy with the sharpness of this lenses for my food photography. However, find it a bit difficult and slow to use manual focus on my RV as well as on the lenses. Need to improve my depth of field as well.

I have several lenses, both Sony and non-Sony, primes and zooms, all of them pretty good, but this lens is in a class of its own. I read all the glowing reviews before I bought it and I now understand why almost all the reviews were so positive and full of praise. The lens is so good I use it, of course for macro, but for everything where a range of 90mm is suitable.

I'm amazed at detail, clarity and focus just love it.

I had the opportunity to do some food photography and read that this lens was the perfect choice for this type of photography. I also really enjoy Macro photography and this lens is amazing at getting in close to the details. Well worth the addition to my kit, if you are thinking of getting this just do it you won't be disapointed.

On a6700 and takes superb pictures. Design of auto/manual switch really good.

Sharp, powerful and versatile macro lens. 90mm is fantastic for general nature photography.
