Sharp sharp sharp! I dont take this lens off my a6500 now. I use it for everything from coral Macros to shooting video. I love this lens and its the perfect all rounder.
Im really liking this lens so far. The versatility is nice. You can have a really sharp macro lens for incredible close up shots or you can use it as just a wide-angle 30mm standard lens. Its fairly light and lacks a little of the build quality of Sonys other fixed lenses, but its also a great bargain.
I love this lens. I was getting ready to spend almost 3 times the amount on a macro lens and then took a chance on this one. I like to take video of my tarantulas and this lens can get in nice and close and still be able to focus. You dont destroy the bank account either. Works perfectly with my A6300. yt gpx7_vNg-yE
Tack sharp! Sony really made a great product at an excellent value with this Sony e-mount 30mm macro lens. Super sharp images and fast autofocus make this an excellent product. Considering the great price, you cant get a better lens for the cost, on the emount line-up.
This is not an easy lens to love, definitely not like the SEL 35mm f1.8, which was love at first sight. Of all my SONY lenses, this is the most difficult to focus, even with color peaking and DMF focus setting. Lacking OSS, its also not very forgiving at lower shutter speeds and begs to be mounted. And it doesnt even come it black, looking like a short silver Red Bull can among a forest of ebony beauties in my storage cabinet. To top it off, the lens hood would not fit over my beautiful B+W UV filter and I was forced to find an ultra-thin option that would work. Okay, enough of the whining. Truth be told, if I didnt see the potential with this lens I would have sent it back. Spoiler alert: This lens will require the patience of a learning curve. Not my strength (patience), but the results are slowly starting to come. Ive attached a couple photos taken at a local plant conservatory with the new macro lens, as well and one taken at home of a stogie, hand held in natural light (ISO 640, 1/60, f/4). Its coming, but I have a long way to go until Im able to realize the potential of this strange little piece of glass. Build: much lighter in weight than the other lenses but appears to be solid construction Appearance: I prefer black, but hey, Im trying to be open minded here.... Performance: AF is slow, lacks OSS. Warning: Do not have a double espresso before using without a tripod....
This was a great value. Came with a lens uv protector and was an awesome price. Perfect product.
Superb quality for the money. I can now take sharp photos of my watches and be cool on instagram! haha, yeah its worth it though.
Cant say much about this as far as professional comments such as distortion and other areas, but I was very nicely surprised at the quality of the shots I have taken with this lens on my NEX 5N body. I took a photo of a signature on a piece of fine linen stationery, and clearly saw the bleeding ink, and the fabric strings in the paper in great detail. On an insect, I saw the juice of the other insect he had just finished having over for lunch!! Both were handheld from about 1-1/2 inches. Macros are possible from 1" thru about 4 or 5 ", with the longer ranges needing cropping. The 1855 and the 1650 kit zooms cannot focus closer than 10", so this close-up macro is another method you may like. However: A./ I have a P&S (SX260) that shoots very acceptable macros, so Im really torn about the extra dollars on a camera that already stretches my family budget. I got the NEX for its fantastic Hi-ISO indoor museum and restaurant photos , and macro would have been a plus. B./ I might decide to go with a pancake like the e-mount 16mm/2.8 or a prime like the Sigma 30mm or sony 50mmf1.8 for lowlight, and let the SX260 do my macros. C./ Also, this Sony macro lens is only about a 1/4 inch shorter that the standard 18-55mm kit zoom, and again maybe a 50mmf/1.8 prime might be a more useful lens for my needs. Decisions, decisions.....at least, they are all pretty good and affordable choices You will not go wrong with this SEL30M35 for great macro and reasonably good street candids, if you have the funds available.
At first i wasnt impressed but with some practice I really like this lens now.. Its compact, nice for travel and allows for 1:1 close up shots. It lacks range, but for the price its well worth it. For the hobbiest its good enough. Ill let you be the judge on how sharp the images are.
Extremely sharp lens, can push your camera sensor to its limit of sharpness. A must have ,working great with my Sony a6000
