[G Master Macro Lens?]

Hi. I'm curious.... Other than 10mm in focal length, what do you find different? 

Hi Matt, From what I've seen, the Canon macro lens is sharper than the Sony lens, and provides up to 1.4X magnification.

Looks like I'm the only one who would buy one. Given a sales volume forecast of one unit, it will definitely be a struggle to justify the business case. Oh well. 🙂

I agree that the Sony FE 90 F2.8 G OSS is a very nice lens. I use it a lot. 

That said, my friend has a Canon EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM and it is superior in my opinion. Here is an image taken with the Canon at F8.

[What lens are you wishing Sony would create?]

I would like Sony to offer a G Master macro lens with 1.4x magnification.

Why doesn't Sony offer a G Master macro lens? Maybe something like the Canon RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM with 1.4x magnification.

[Minimum Focus Distance]

I just tested mine, at 400mm, the minimum focus was just over three feet

Thanks Tony, how do you like the lens?

[Minimum Focus Distance]

Hi. Found this on a review somewhere. Not all zooms have the same minimum focus distance through all ranges of the zoom, but it looks like they'll state that distance. If it's not listed, then that usually means that min distance works throughout the range.

I am considering purchasing the FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.3 GM lens and want to confirm the minimum focus distance. The specs state that the minimum focus distance is 3.22 feet. What I want to confirm is that this is focus distance when the lens is fully zoomed at 400 mm.

Please let me know.

Thanks
