Re: Who owns (or has owned) Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS

I began with the Sony 90 macro and was completely satisfied.  But when the Sigma 105mm came along, I was impressed by the rave reviews which said it's even sharper than the Sony 90, so I bought it.  Perhaps it is sharper, but I like the Sony better for several reasons:

* It's lighter weight than the Sigma 105

* The ease of changing from AF to MF mode

* When in MF mode, it focuses like a true MF lens.  The Sigma 105 is very slow to focus by wire in MF mode.

I always sharpen a bit in edit.  I cannot perceive the sharpness edge of the Sigma 105mm in my finished photos.

For stationary subjects,  you might be happy with a lighter weight manual focus lens.  And, even if your camera is full frame, you can shoot with a lightweight APS-C lens and crop.
