Sony users searching for a full-frame macro lens that ticks all the right boxes need look no further. It features a clever clutch system that lets you switch been autofocus and manual focus instantly by snapping the focus ring to and fro. The great thing about this is that you get a manual focus ring that makes super precise focus adjustments possible. It has hard stops at either end of its focus distance range and a three-position focus limit switch is found above an optical steady shot switch. The latter, combined with the effective in body image stabilisation offered by most A7-series cameras, makes handheld shooting of subjects at life size (1:1) a breeze. It’s a macro lens that’s a sheer delight to use.

The details
The first E-mount medium telephoto macro lens with built-in image stabilization delivers outstanding G Lens quality: stunning resolution at up to 1:1 magnification plus gorgeous background bokeh when required, even when shooting handheld. A floating focus mechanism ensures that consistently superior optical performance is achieved at all focusing distances.
Renowned G Lens background bokeh
Each lens is individually tested and calibrated to minimize spherical aberration so that the smoothest, most visually pleasing bokeh is achieved.
Image-wide clarity from macro to infinity
A compact floating focus mechanism maintains consistently superior optical performance throughout the image at any focusing distance.
Precise, quiet focus for stills and movies
Dual DDSSM (Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor) drive systems position the heavy focus element groups required for full frame macro photography quickly, precisely, and quietly.
Sharp and clear without a tripod
The first a-series macro lens with built-in image stabilization makes it possible to shoot sharp macro images handheld.
