FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS

Sony's definitive macro lens for full-frame E-mount — the FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS delivers true 1:1 magnification with built-in optical image stabilisation, fast OSS-equipped AF, and weather sealing. The 90mm focal length provides comfortable working distance for insects and small subjects, and the f/2.8 aperture produces beautiful background separation well beyond macro distances. An equally compelling portrait and close-up lens on any Sony full-frame or APS-C E-mount body.
