I was so happy shooting, it was the only lens I used all day. The most striking fact about the images is the extreme sharpness over this range and the evenness of illumination and accuracy of exposure. Rather than being a zoom lens with compromises, this lens does one thing perfectly and that is creating sharp images. If you want to zoom, just walk closer or farther from the subject! I have no issues with the construction. It is f/3.5 and therefor quite lightweight. It focuses rapidly and accurately. I would have preferred a wider maximum aperture, but other than that, I am extremely happy with this great lens. 16 of 19 people found the following review helpful:  Good optical performance in questionable build., By This review is from: Sony SEL30M35 30mm f/3.5 e-mount Macro Lens (Electronics) I purchased this lens on the day of its launch in Tokyo, Japan and so at the time of writing this review, I have already had a few weeks to test it out. In essence this lens takes good, if not great pictures but it is not without several reservations. First thing is, and this may sound obvious, but: You will not be shooting many insects or animals with this lens given it's only a 30mm macro -You need to be very close to get a decent macro shot and you are always at risk of scaring the bug or beast off and away. It is however, pretty damn good for flowers. The other thing is build quality with which I am not impressed. This lens, unlike previous NEX lenses (Japan, Thailand) is manufactured in China. You can feel it's made in China. It's light (perhaps that is a positive considering the goal of Sony EVIL cameras to be lightweight and "pocketable"), almost to the point of being delicate in structure and personally I don't like that one bit.

I love this lens. I'm not a pro photographer by any stretch. I don't know much about f stops and all that jazz but I do know that this lens and my NEX-3 were born for each other. I bought the nex because I wanted to take my photography to the next level it does that better than expected. Then add this lens and we have amazingness. The lens produces crisp photos that are stunning. I love macro photography, and it works great with flowers and nature. The lens itself not only looks great but feels great. The metal used is a little more shiny, and lighter than the 18-55 mm lens that I bought with the camera. I can see where the other reviewer thought that the quality might be a little low. It's not because the quality is low it's just the feel of the lens, light and almost hollow feeling. However this does not mean its of lower quality. Over all if you like simple macro photography and own a NEX camera, then this lens needs to be in your colection. |
