Sony E 30mm f/3.5 Macro Reviews
Good lens. A bit fussy.

It's lightweight. Easy to pack. A good lens, but fussy on focusing, and also blurs out around the edges too far in. Can't say it's my favorite, but maybe if I work with it's idiosyncrasies I become more fond of it.
Wonderful

I've been looking for a macro lens that doesn't break the bank. When I stumbled across this lens, I was hesitant because the price was too good to be true being that it was a Sony manufactured lens. I'm extremely happy with this purchase. It's a compact lens and it's perfect for wedding details, especially the ring shots! My clients were thrilled with the images I captured with this macro.
Good overall lens that can get real close too!

I'm a hobbyist just starting macro photography, and I've had a pretty good experience using this on my a6000. It's lightweight and not very clunky, so it's very easy to handle. I love the versatility of being able to capture something far away and then getting really really close without changing lenses. Manual focusing can be a bit of a burden, it takes a lot of turning to shift focus from far away to up close.
Great!

wow this was an amazing lens to get started with macro, especially if you are on a budget. it doesn't have image stabilization but nothing a tripod won't fix. if you have full sunlight i actually found hand held works just as well. be aware that 30mm focal length is short and it will block out light in most situations. i liked to use this lens outside since the sun was much better than artificial light. overall i had no problems and loved working with this lens.
Great macro lens

I have been using this lens both by itself and with two extension tubes to take macro photos of a number items. I use a tripod and a focusing rail and the stacked photos are very good. At f/22 I am getting single photos that are sharp. I am ver satisfied with the lens and recommend it.
Love this lens!

I really wanted a Macro lens for my Sony alpha a7, but have been holding off because as a hobby I didn't need to spend $700 for a lens. I came across this one and finally got to use it and it's Amazing! We raised caterpillars this year and I was so happy that I could get beautiful photos of them. I bought a used one and I can tell you that I would never have thought it was used, it looked brand new. Seriously, great lens at such an affordable price.
