Lensrentals big macro test: 90mm FE macro beats all other Nikon-Canon-Zeiss lenses!

[shoplink 48071]90mmFE[/shoplink]

What’s the best Macro lens between the Nikon, Canon Zeiss lenses and the [shoplink 48071]Sony 90mm FE[/shoplink]? Lensrentals compared them all and the conclusion is:

The Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro totally shocked me. It’s clearly better at all frequencies at macro distances. In fact, it’s the highest resolving off all these lenses at macro distances, at least in the image center. I’m not certain if it’s related or just coincidence, but the Sony lens has electronic motors controlling both the focusing and the compensating element. As best I know, all of the other macro lenses tested have mechanical movements of the compensating elements.

Buy the 90mm FE lens at [shopcountry 48071].

Note: You save $250 on the refurbished lens sold by Secondipity (Click here). And $130 on the Open Box version sold by Best Buy (Click here).

Sorry dear SAR readers, I have to write this post to send a message to source “E.”:

Source E. can you please share some general tech insights too? Like Autofocus and Sensor performance? And possibly the date of the announcement so that I don’t miss that one :)

Thanks a lot!!!

This is the worldwide effect of the Sony sensor production stop in Kumamoto…

Shipmentjune

What happens if you stop the sensor production in one single Sony factory?  CIPA published the new worldwide camera shipment figures and they show that never in the modern digital camera market history shipment were as low as now!

Sony restored the full sensor production capability in August only (3,5 months after the production stop). And the effects of that will last til early 2017.
