Is it compatible with Sony APS-C cameras?
Yes, it is compatible with Sony E-mount cameras, both full-frame and APS-C. On APS-C cameras, the effective focal length will be equivalent to 135mm (with a 1.5x crop factor), which can be advantageous for macro photography as it increases working distance.
What is the minimum focusing distance?
The minimum focusing distance is 0.14 meters (14 cm) from the sensor. This allows getting very close to the subject and achieving the 2:1 magnification, capturing details not visible to the naked eye.
What type of photography can I do with this lens?
This lens is extremely versatile. Its 2:1 magnification is ideal for macro (insects, flowers, details), but since it can focus to infinity, it is also excellent for portraits, product photography, and even landscapes with selective focus.
Does the lens include image stabilization?
No, this lens does not include optical stabilization. However, many Sony mirrorless cameras have in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which can compensate for vibration. For macro photography, using a tripod is recommended for maximum sharpness.
