What Macro Lens for Sony A7R IV

[russellsnr]

Not new to macro just Sony, don't want to spend £100's to start with. Have seen many Tamron, Sigma (I used on Canon) but not sure if they will work or work well on the Sony A7r IV. Also do the none FF lenses work? ( This? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19415387...rentrq:1c36328c1820a6e5690dabccfffd3a20|iid:1) Thank you, Russ.

I use the Sony 90mm 2.8 on my A7R4 but it’ll cost you.. I’ve heard good things about the Sigma and the price is reasonable.
I don’t think the tamron that you have linked will work on the Sony A7R4

You can pick up the Sony for just over 600 on import, the earlier Sigma, a great lens, will only work if you have an adaptor, and so is a bit of a false economy.

I bought my Minolta 50 for $100 in mint condition. A manual adapter will cost another $20.

I am new to macro but like the Sigma 105mm F2.8 DG DN Macro Art lens. I think it just edges out the Sony 90mm. Also waiting to see the new Venus Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens when it is released.

I use Sigma 105 F2.8 with adapter. I originally used it on Sony A mount but now use it with A6400 and A1. Beaut results!

See if you can get a used Voigtlander 110 but even used it about the price of a new Sigma 105 E-mount Art lens - both of those lenses are rated as being able to exploit the A7Riv sensor. A very cheap option for 1:2 macro and if focusing distance does not matter is the Tamron 24 E-mount which is rated for sharpness at the same level as the other two lenses I mentioned.

Don't overlook the possibility of a achromat macro lens which screws on the front of an existing lens you have. Marumi achromats are excellent quality and are much cheaper than a quality dedicated macro lens. I use a Marumi DHG Macro 330 (+3) on a bridge camera.

This pic is with Sigma 105 fitted with Achromat +3.
