So definitely getting some benefit from the stabilization, but not as extreme as some other lenses.Īutofocus has some issues but this is expected by the large focal range covered by macro lenses. In real world shooting, I’d keep the shutter speed at 1/50th of a second or higher. At 1/10th, very few of my images were acceptable. At 1/25th of a second, I got a lot of “almost sharp” images. Any slower, it became harder and harder to get a sharp image. At 1/40th of a second, most of my images were quite sharp. Personally, I did not find the stabilization system worked quite as well as some of Sony’s other lenses. The effectiveness of the stabilization will depend on your own steadiness and technique. Stabilization, 1/10, possivle to get fairly sharp image but mostly unusable Some crops shooting between 1/40th of a second and 1/10th of a second Considering that when shooting macro, even the tiniest movement can throw off the shot, stabilization is handy for doing any handheld macro shooting. The Sony 90mm F/2.8 G features optical steady shot (OSS), which works in hybrid with the Sony A7riii’s IBIS system. It is really nice to have when shooting portraits. I re-program the focus hold button to be used for Eye-AF. The focus is by wire and the focus ring as a nice ridged grip. The focus limiter switch has three options: near, far, and full focal range. The lens also has traditional switches for Optical Steady Shot and focus limiting. I’m surprised this system isn’t implemented on more lenses as it allows switching to manual focus in one fluid motion. You clutch and pull back the focus ring to switch to manual focus, and extend it back into place for autofocus. So you end up with a slightly shorter and slightly lighter lens).įocus switch is unique on the Sony 90mm F/2.8 Macro G. (For comparison, the Nikon 105mm F/2.8 is 720 grams and the Canon 100mm f/2.8 is 625 grams. It balances quite nicely on Sony full frame bodies. As depicted in the photographs, the lens has a decent amount of bulk but it is low weight considering the size, at 602 grams. It is a solid metal construction with weather sealing.
