Best Lenses under €900 for macro

Best Pick

DZOfilm VESPID 90mm T2.8 macro

38 Macro Score

90mmf/2.8PL-Mount (Super 16 and 2/3")

Why we recommend this

A 16-blade iris and T2.8 aperture deliver exceptionally smooth, circular bokeh and precise depth-of-field control for full-frame cinematography. Its relatively compact 1361g build and standardized 80mm front diameter integrate seamlessly with common matte box systems, despite lacking weather sealing. This lens is best for independent filmmakers and videographers needing a dedicated macro prime for detailed close-up work and portrait-style interviews.

Premium Lenses for macro

Best Pick

Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH.

40.9 Macro Score

16-35mmf/3.5-4.5L-MountWeather Sealed

Why we recommend this

The 16-35mm f/3.5-4.5 wide-angle zoom’s 18-element, 12-group optical path with four aspherical elements and AquaDura coating produces sharp, flare-resistant images in wet or dusty conditions. A near-silent stepping motor and non-extending barrel make it equally capable for discreet video work and all-weather field use. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers who need a durable, silent-focusing ultrawide for both stills and video.
