The best Macro Lens for Sony. Better than the 90mm Macro by Sony -- Better sharpness, and the same F2.8 aperture with larger 105mm focal length gives you better lens compression / background blur. Some of the phots I got from this lens are mind-blowing: individual hairs on an ant's leg, cells of a leaf that cant be seen with the naked eye, in incredible quality. And does a superb job as a portrait lens too -- the zoom compression is superb. Prior renter used for jewelry with amazing results. This is a the best Sony lens for close up work and for getting very creative!
