Sony 90mm macro g manual#

The 90-105mm focal length is a sweet spot for macro photographers. Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS review – Features Now that Sony has released the FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS lens all that has changed, with this premium optic providing Alpha 7 users a dedicated macro lens. Until now, for anyone interested in macro photography, Sony’s own LA-EA adapters for Alpha-mount lenses or third-party adapters were the only way they could shoot macro images. However, for those times when speed isn’t as much of an issue, such as when shooting landscape or macro images, the use of third-party lenses has been a boon to the system and an affordable solution for DSLR photographers using the new full-frame E-mount system.

Sony 90mm macro g manual#

There are some limitations to using DSLR lenses, such as the need to use manual focus with third-party lenses. Of course, this facility equally applies to other compact system cameras, but thus far, Sony is the only company to offer a full-frame sensor. 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.Thanks to the E mount’s short flange distance, Sony Alpha 7 cameras are able to use many lenses originally designed for DSLRs.

Minimal focus breathing and quiet operation are also advantageous for shooting movies. 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. The preview function can also be assigned to this button through the camera’s custom settings. 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. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. 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.

This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. Nano AR Coating is superior to conventional anti-reflective coatings, providing a notable improvement in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality.

Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) for quiet, precise focusingĮffectively suppress reflections that can cause flare and ghosting with Sony’s original Nano AR Coating technology.

9-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokeh.

Super ED glass w/ multi‐coating reduces flare and ghosting.

Corner to corner sharpness w/ Advanced Asphirical elements.

Instant manual/auto focus selection via a sliding focus ring.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for handheld shooting.

Nano AR coating effectively suppress reflections.

90mm Macro with a bright F2.8 maximum aperture.

A perfect match for α7 series, 35mm full-frame E-mount cameras.

Other advanced technologies, such as the Nano AR Coating and Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, elevate overall performance to an extremely high standard. 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. Advanced optics and coatings with a 9-blade circular aperture deliver exceptionally smooth bokeh that G Lenses are renowned for. 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.
