About this model
The Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS is a professional-grade macro lens for Sony's full-frame E-mount system. It offers true 1:1 magnification, letting you capture life-size details of flowers, insects and products, while the 90mm focal length provides a comfortable working distance and doubles as a short telephoto for portraits. The optical design includes an aspherical element and ED glass to control distortion and chromatic aberration, and the lens features a focus range limiter and a focus hold button. Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation helps keep handheld close-ups sharp, and the quiet, linear focusing motor makes it suitable for both stills and video. The lens also has a dust- and moisture-resistant design for reliable use in challenging conditions.
