Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
That 90mm is just a superb lens.
Thanks Ute, if you are interested in lens resolution tests etc... (as I believe you well maybe) + Obviously taking into account the actual sensor being used for the measurements as being a major contributing factor....Then the 4 highest resolving lenses over on DxOMark are listed in this order (by click on the "Sharpness" column to the right of DxOMark score column).
https://www.dxomark.com/lenses/laun...Options=false&viewMode=list&yDataType=rankDxo
1st Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM / On: Canon EOS 5DS R...$6599
2nd Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS / On: Sony A7R II...$1100
3rd Carl Zeiss Apo Sonnar T* 2 135 ZE Canon / On: Canon EOS 5DS R...$1600
4th Carl Zeiss Apo Planar T* Otus 85mm F1.4 ZE Canon / On: Canon EOS 5DS R...$4490
On further investigation of those 4 selected lenses...i.e. View Comparison (and BTW a maximum of just 3 lenses can only be selected at a tiime) > Measurements (tab) > Sharpness (tab) > Profiles (tab)
Then you will see by clicking on the corresponding equivalent apertures that the Sony 90mm FE Macro G bests the other 3 lenses between apertures F2.8 and F11 for acutance.
Personally I think this native Sony lens offers a major bang for the buck, that's if you don't need a faster aperture mid-tele.
I have had my 90mm G macro since it was released and have spent a fair amount of time using it...It is not only super sharp but it has an excellent bokeh (albeit starting from f2.8). + IMHO it performs just as good for close-ups as it does with tackling far distance landscapes stopped down....It's a very versatile lens indeed, almost without any flaws as long as you can get hold of a nice sample
