Sigma 105 is closer to 135 of contax but sony 90 seems to be physically closer to contax and also has oss which would probably be good for low light shooting( i do enjoy using voigtlander 35 1.2 in low light). I have used sony 24-105 and this seems to be the upper limit i could go regarding weight( Sigma 105 is indeed a bit heavier). Also for some reason i do not enjoy the photos of tamron that i have seen online as those of the sony 90 and sigma 105. I thought of tamron 70-180 but it is quite expensive and 800 gr weight seems too much for me, although the lens is light for what it is.

I just like taking photos in my free time. I do not intent to to macro photography with tripod and flash.
#SONY 90MM MACRO G MANUAL#
I do like shooting experience with contax zeiss( manual focus ring, size and bokeh) but i want to replace it with a lens with autofocus and shorter minimum focus distance as a telephoto walk around lens. I am currently using sony a7iii with sony zeiss 16-35 f4, voigtlander 35 1.2 se, sony 55.18 and contax zeiss 135 2.8( manual focus). I am interested in buying one of those two lenses. Most reviewers are over the moon with the IQ of the Sigma 105 DN but D Abbot and one or two others point out how relatively well implemented the Sony's manual focus is (not just the cluch to engage and disengage mf) (and another how the Sony has better AF in bad light).
I used a Minolta 100 RS in the past and its focus ring was mechanically coupled but it wasn't very nice to move, further I've used other native Sony lenses so know how the electric focus ring takes some getting used to and I'm not overly fond of it on the Sony E 30 2,8 macro. I can see the logic in that even if most times I will slowly move the camera back and forth. Sorry here too for a later reply but do you have an opinion on the feel of the manual focus ring?ĭ Abbot mentions the Sony has the nicest electric focus ring he has encountered that is significantly better than his Canon 100 L as well as the Sigma 105 DN that particularly macro work requires a focus ring with good feedback. There is some behaviour close to mfd that I am trying to figure out - with AF the lens sometimes will lock on and then slightly defocus. Sigma AF struggles close to minimum focal distance if contrast is low. Keeper rate with Sony 90 >99%, Sigma maybe 80%. Also note that some returns are caused by flawed test procedures, by user error. I don't quite understand those who need to try 4 or 5 lenses before they get one copy that they can accept - probably too much pixel peeping for a certain issue, forgetting that every lens is a balance between optical properties. I have had more faulty Leica cameras and lenses than from any other brand. There are lenses within the tolerances (almost all of them), and a very few that just are faulty.
It's like returning your new automobile to the dealer 4 times until you get a "good one". (And reading posts on these camera forums). I never new there was such qc variability on such a mass produced item such as camera lenses until I started buying them. I have never had to retur a Sony lens, and I test my lenses for the basic properties at arrival, like centered lenses, autofocus, even corner sharpness, etc. I hear quality control (variabity) on the Sony 90mm is high.
You could assess if OSS if worth it or not for your use and in case you're not happy, you could easiely sell it back.ĭid you get a good copy on your first try. You might be able to get it for cheaper than the Sigma. Have you considered getting a second hand Sony 90mm? Has that nice MF pull ring dis-engagement. The Sigma is $300.00 cheaper than the Sony.Īnyways.All my indoor macros will be on a tripod, and my outdoor "spontaneous" macro shots will probably be in bright light, so I can probably live with only my IBIS. I believe they had an older macro that had OSS. Not sure why Sigma did not incorporate OSS. If it had OSS, even at the same price point as the Sony, I'd buy it.
The preilliminary reviews have the image quality of the Sigma to be a tad better than the Sony. I'm torn between this lens and the tried and true Sony 90mm Macro. Since this lens (Sigma) has only been out a few weeks, there is probably not a lot of hands on experience, but anybody have any hands on experience 🤔?.
