Bought this lens based on many reviews claiming that this is one of the best Sony lenses. Boy, was I not disappointed! This lens image quality (IQ) ranges in the same top class of other Sony/Carl Zeiss lenses. I own the Zeiss 35mm Distagon f1.4 and the Zeiss 55mm f1.8 and for those who own them too, you’ll know how good they are in terms of IQ. The Sony 90mm falls in the same category of sharpness and colour accuracy.Regarding ergonomic, the AutoFocus/ManualFocus transition on the lens is not the best design, IMO. Instead of a physical button on the side of the lens, one changes from Auto to Manual (and vice versa) by pushing or pulling the focus ring of the lens. Not the best idea, according to me.I have the lens for a month now and have not had a chance to try the macro feature yet, but when I’ll do, I will update my review.Despite the small drawback of the focus ring, I am fully satisfied with the Sony 90mm lens and would buy it again.

Have used it test shooting mostly in doors for two months. Interesting M/A focus ring click, but the sound doesn’t give much confidence and seems to put some vibration on the lens. It sounds and feels like you are clicking a mental pen against some light weight espresso cup with some force, totally different from moving the M/AF button on other Sony lenses. The fear is the shock and vibration will get to the glasses inside. As you would not want to clap or pad your lens, you need to be careful when you switch the ring click between MF and AF. But the shock just cannot be avoided or even minimized. It is designed that way. It maybe fun to use, it put some stress on me and the lens as well.AF is understandably slow and breathing, especially when you use the range limiter. Better off to set it to indefinite.Over 90% hand held shots cannot stand magnification, due to poor focus. Slightly improved when I put it on a tripod and turned off image stabilization. High shutter speed doesn’t solve the focus problem. I have tried up to 1/2000 handheld shooting some cat scratch on my hand, still the photos cannot stand enlargement. The photos coming out from the camera are all fine. But they immediately become blurred when you enlarged them on the camera back screen or computer monitor. Either way, there is no 3D virtual effect in the photos, with or without enlargement. Maybe that is a depth of field issue… and requires some aperture adjusting…This lens brings up sharpness by a large margin from the 24-70 f/2.8 G Master, when directly coming out of the A7R4. But photos from the GM can stand unlimited enlargement. So. you really have to re-consider which one is sharper and what the word sharpness really means. Opposite to other GM lenses, this lens catches all imperfections of your face if you put yourself in the photo. Other GM lenses are much more complimentary.

I am a new learner on DSLR system and this 90mm prime is my first upgrade over kit lens. I am very happy with the performance of this lens. As you will see from images attached, the macro capabilities of this lens are phenomenal for a beginner photographer like me. This lens also serves equally well for portrait and landscape shots. Being a 90mm, you definitely cannot frame your portrait shots at close distance to your subject. For a decent bust level portrait, you will need a minimum distance of at least 2 metres from your subject. However, for Macro photography, you can take this lens as close as few centimetres to your subject and the resultant images are excellent in clarity and sharpness. The manual focus adjustment ring on the lens serves well to do quick fine-tuning for some of your shots. Overall, I am happy with this lens selection and the reason which prompted me to go for 90mm F2.8 instead of 50mm F1.8 and 85mm F1.8 is the dual utility of macro and portrait.
