![]() ![]() The hood isn’t huge, but it adds to an already rather ample girth. The lens comes with a plastic lens hood that locks securely onto the bayonet mount on front. I’d imagine the first generation A7 series cameras would similarly feel a bit awkward due to the shallow grips on those cameras. ![]() While it handled decently on my A7 II, I have to say that it feels awkward when used on my a6000. ![]() Due to the size of the lens in comparison with the Sony E mount bodies, it can be a bit front heavy and unwieldy depending on the body used. The lens is constructed of a combination of high-grade plastics and lightweight metals, and there are no creaks or flex points anywhere on the lens body. While large in both length and diameter, the 90mm is not quite as heavy as I expected given the dimensions. As with many of Sony’s FE mount lenses, there really is no size or weight benefit with this lens compared to full frame DSLR macro lenses. The Sony 90mm f/2.8 is a large, solidly built lens. I review products on how they act for me as a photographic tool. There are plenty of other sites that cover those. You won’t find lens charts or resolution numbers here. If you’re not familiar with my reviews, I review from a real world shooting perspective. The Sony 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS on the Sony A7 II ![]() This is one of Sony’s top-tier ‘G’ lenses, and as such, expectations are high for good optical quality. Today, I review the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro, which fills two key niches in the system: a high quality macro lens and a short telephoto prime. As such, less than two years after the introduction of the A7, the FE lineup has grown into a rather full featured system. Very good Post, thank you for your suggestions.Sony has been heavily concentrating on fleshing out the full frame E-mount system with quality lenses, which is something that they didn’t really do with their APS-C e-mount lineup. With powerful LED torches so cheap these days you can certainly get some sort of octopus like flex arms to place them exactly where you want them. Macro lighting is also a VAST area where people create many crazy DIY relectors, tubes, diffusers etc. Although they are growing in power, most of them would only probably give you f5.6 at ISO 100 and 1/500 or less unless you buy the really expensive ones. Not sure if 62mm is possible for this unit. Sony's own HVL MT24AM is twice as expensive but more flexible (complicated) for flash placements. You can easily achieve f11 or higher at ISO 100 with these at macro distances. You will need the AM to M shoe adapter for any of these. A little more advance but only go up to 72mm, 62mm adapter ring is included so you don't need to get it separately. This one has coil cord connection but the Metz Mecablitz 15 MS1 uses a wireless slave trigger kind of set up. You will need to get the 62mm adapter ring for this separately. It is very typical of twin macro flash set up. Modeling light to help you focus and can fire either both flashes or just one side. It uses ADI (TTL) like other Sony/Minolta flashes and can accommodate up to 77mm adapter ring. Most macro flashes are actually twin flashes. Don't care about looks only care that I want to learn it properly. The really good macro photographers mostly use regular speedlights and argue which diffuser works best. Macro twin lights are a bit better but have limits too. Now, is it that you want to look good with the camera, or you want the pictures to look right? Ringflashes are ok for dentists but they're not considered particularly good macro light. I mean, the it's 4400$ camera and lens combo and i want to do it justice. Thanks, I'll do that too but i was hoping for some more specific flash models to look into in regards to macro. Try the simple diffused light from above setup achievable by such DIY diffusers and then decide what further gear you need to take you to the next level. Just google for "macro flash diffuser" for the ideas on how to make one. If you already have external flash, I would suggest to create a simple DIY diffuser for it before investing into dedicated ring or twin flashes. ![]()
