Is the sony fe 100mm f 2 8 macro gm oss good for portraits?

The Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM OSS can work well for portraits. On full frame it gives you 100mm, a bit longer than the 85mm sweet spot and well into the range where faces look natural, since you stand back from your subject. It's stabilised and has autofocus, which helps when you're shooting people handheld.

It's a macro first, though. If portraits are your main job, the Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS is the one I'd look at. Its apodization filter gives much smoother backgrounds, at the cost of light (T5.6). For more on lens choice, see portraits.
