Model overview based on user reviews
The Sony 30mm f/3.5 E Macro lens is a highly regarded option for those interested in macro photography, offering high sharpness and image contrast even from an open aperture. Users appreciate its affordable price and the absence of geometric distortions and low chromatic aberrations. The lens features a fast focusing speed, making it versatile for non-macro tasks as well. However, the short focal length requires getting very close to subjects, which can sometimes cast a shadow on them. Despite this, the lens's excellent build quality and the included lens hood, which protects against light flares and contact, make it a valuable addition to any photographer's kit. Overall, it offers a unique perspective beyond traditional lens types and is recommended for its cost-effectiveness and performance.
Pros
Cons
The lens definitely justifies its cost and allows you to view the world from a new perspective, stepping away from the usual "portrait", "wide-angle" and "telephoto" lenses. High sharpness and image contrast, starting from an open aperture. At f 5.6, the picture is sharp across the entire frame. The absence of geometric distortions and a low level of chromatic aberrations. The fast focusing speed allows the lens to be used for tasks not related to macro photography. The included lens hood protects not only from unwanted light flares but also from unnecessary contact with the subject. Don't forget to use the hood during shooting. Excellent build quality. The short focusing distance sometimes causes the subject to be in the shadow of the lens itself. |
A very affordable option when you need to shoot something very large. Price, honest macro lens, good sharpness the focal length is a bit short - you have to get too close to the object.  Yuriy: use Sony 30mm f/3.5 E Macro more than year |
