Roger Cicala of LensRentals tested Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS against Canon, Nikon & Zeiss macro lenses and Sony’s 90mm macro came out on top! Here’s what Roger had to say:

“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.”

Earlier Tests by DxO concluded the same thing with Sony also besting the competition including Zeiss. That’s why I consider this lens the “First G Master!”
