The 90mm should have a field of view that fits a subject 200mm across the horizontal frame at the maximum 500mm focus distance with the focus limiter activated.
on the Olympus why do you say it "had"to be limited to the 0.19 - 0.4m range? I always leave mine on the full range setting.
That is a great question, I could never seem to get it to focus well for true macro subjects with the full range. Maybe it was just my lens, but I had way better luck when shooting nudibranchs for example with the focus limiter engaged.

quite possibly camera dependent, I have the EM-1 MkII and it is miles ahead of my old EM-5 MkII for AF with the macro lens.
That's the thing with macro lenses the performance can vary depending on how good the AF is on the camera you are using, so you need to reference both camera and lens.
Any idea how the Sony 90 mm lens will autofocus with the new A7R V camera? Aside for the updated AI for focusing on objects and critters, will it autofocus as fast as the A1?
I use the sigma 105 with an a7iii. Very nice image quality but it does hunt something fierce in low light I use a pretty powerful focus light.
