    Overview

    The Elicar V-HQ Macro 90 mm f/2.5 is a manual-focus macro lens offering 1:1 magnification and a fast f/2.5 aperture. It is optically sharp with good color saturation. However, it lacks a conventional focus ring and does not focus to infinity; focusing is achieved by moving the camera or subject. The lens is heavy and front-heavy on both Minolta and Sony bodies. Build quality is excellent, with a stiff barrel that prevents slippage. It suits macro photographers who prioritize image quality and don't mind the handling challenges, especially in studio settings where a tripod is practical.
