True 1:1 Macro Magnification
Achieves life-size magnification, allowing you to capture incredibly intricate details of small subjects, ideal for product showcases, scientific, or artistic macro filmmaking.
Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS)
The integrated OSS is a significant advantage for macro work, as it effectively compensates for camera shake, which is often more pronounced at close focusing distances, allowing for sharper handheld macro footage.
Exceptional Sharpness & Detail
Delivers superb image quality with razor-sharp details and excellent contrast, ensuring clarity for fine textures and intricate subjects.
Versatile Focal Length
While a macro specialist, the 90mm focal length also makes it an outstanding telephoto portrait lens, offering beautiful compression and pleasing bokeh.
Fast & Quiet Autofocus
The DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) provides fast, precise, and virtually silent autofocus, beneficial for both stills and general video use, though precise manual focus is often preferred for critical macro work.
Internal Focusing
The lens’s length does not change during focusing, which is beneficial for maintaining balance and avoiding disturbance to subjects during macro shooting.
