actually I had a 90mm, I have sold it and ordered the sigma 105mm. Main reason was that 90mm is optimised to get round bokeh balls at f5.6, and using it for portrait at f2.8 the bokeh balls were not round. Sigma is round at 2.8, and I also preferred the 105mm for portrait. I really hope the sigma is going to be easy to focus manually as the 90mm that was amazing.

2 years later and I still love the Sigma Macro, now using it on the A7RV I do notice problems with the Insect eye AF. It finds the eye/body but is focusing rapidly back and forth so when burst shooting half the images are blurry. I went back to this video to check AF performance and you said they're both similar so I'm just hoping for a Mark 2 on the Sony or Sigma that will hopefully fix this.

Ive been reading lots of reviews of this lens. I will be using this lens strictly for close up insect macro. So naturally many of the features discussed don't matter to me. I generally shoot in manual and move the camera back and forth to fine tune focus depth. I also NEVER shoot at F/2.8. Min is F/8 for more DOF. Everyone compares the sharpness to the Sony at F/2.8. I need to know how it compares at F/8. Maybe the Sony surpasses it? Did you do any sharpness comparisons at higher apertures? btw- keep up the great work on your videos.

Do you think sony 90mm macro is useful for video works ? How is afc for video ?
@PavSZ3 жыл бұрын
it's good for video work but you can forget AF - like with all macro lenses the focus travel from infinity to minimal focusing distance is too long. Out of these two, Sony is a better choice as the manual focusing is linear. Check out my full review of the 90mm with video samples in it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2qWc4qNg9KSpJo

Such a hard decision to make. Do I want to have another heavy Sigma lens without OS, but better image quality that's cheaper than the Sony. Or do I want a lighter lens with OSS, slightly worse image quality, better focus ring, but costs a lot more...

Globally Sigma lenses are about 10-15% cheaper than the Sony ones. However, that doesn't seem to be true in India (past experience). So, I feel Sigma price is going to be very similar to Sony 90mm in India or may be even higher than Sony once lauched (Sony 90mm is priced at £580 here). If both are priced equally which one will you prefer for macro and portraits? p.s. - My camera (A6400) doesn't have stabilization.

People need to stop pretending that Sony lenses are on par with Sigma when it comes to build quality. Sigma blow Sony out of the water in that department. Along those lines, people need to get over the added weight of the Sigma lenses. They're not that heavy... And this is coming from someone whose favourite lens is an adapted Sigma 40mm f1.4 Art (~1200 grams). Save yourself the money and buy 2 Sigmas for every Sony you're considering. Sony lenses are overpriced for what you get.
