I have both too (the 85GM w/ Marumi +3 and the 90MM macro). But I never take both of them with me at the same time.
It depends on whether my wife is with me, if yes...then its the 85GM because she likes the look of portaits with it. :-)
When she is not with me, or when macro is the priority, then the 90mm macro comes with me.

Simple shot, but love this lens for these types of things.

Lovely shot, Fred!
As for the rest of it: just make sure that when her date picks her up that he sees the .45, shovel, and bag of lime on your porch

I know the feeling. This is my daughter earlier this summer before going on a date with her boyfriend.

The 85 GM + the A9 is an incredible combo for shooting fast moving kids!

Hi,
It is a fantastic lens!
I see, lot of people use it to macro with marumi acromatic +3.
How many is the magnification and minimum working, focus distance?
Can it be so good with Kenko Close-Up Lens 72mm AC No.3 Achromatic-Lens PRO1D +3?

Very nice.... does ISO 64 work well for you and processing? I’ve use 50 iso, but 64 seems to be a good choice. I have this 85GM, just got the Sigma 105, sweet!

Thx Todd
It’s works fine here!
This 85 GM may be the best portrait lens on the gen III bodies!!!
Amazing.

I'm not as much into portraits and short teles yet (I enjoy landscapes and city), but am floored by the images here. Look's like I'll definitely need to pick up an AF 85 for kids down the road.
Definitely marked this thread as NSFW (not safe for wallet).
Keep it rolling!

I've been enjoying this lens quite a lot. However I apparently bumped the focus when shooting Half Dome from Glacier Point on Monday evening and every photo through the last bit of light hitting Half Dome is out of focus. Sigh. Won't make that mistake again.

It’s been glued to my A7riii. Meanwhile I switch up the glass on my A7iii duo all the time. I should really try out the 85 on the A7iii sometime!

yep
but he's got good technique
they are all on the same focal plane
I do have 1 question
OP are you concerned that you don't have a steady hand? is that why your SS is so high?
I mean, medium to high ISO is a huge strength of the A7III, so 640 is nothing! so you're totally cool.
I was just curious b/c I'm nosey tonight.
the A7rIII on the other hand, I really try to keep the ISO down as low as possible, it's not as good as the A7III with regard to medium to high ISO. all dem megapickles!
great shot.

Thanks! The fiery fall tree seems to really work with this image. To answer your question about the higher shutter and ISO, yes. The sun was fading fast so I cranked the ISO to keep the shutter pretty quick. My hands are not the most stable to begin with. Trying to combine shaky hands with fast moving kids and a big fat hunk of glass like the 85GM results in a bad time if I don't keep the shutter pretty fast. Could I have go away with a slower shutter? Probably, but I find the mid-high iso performance on the A7III to be great.
I took a similar shot on my Mamiya RZ67...I'm excited to see how that comes out from the lab.
