Sony SEL30M35 Pro Reviews

photozone‘s review Edit

The Sony E 30mm f/3.5 macro lens delivered a rather disappointing performance on the Sony NEX 7. The center image quality is absolutely great but the border- and especially corner-quality is sub-standard. The rather high amount of lateral CAs isn't helpful either. You may argue that this is irrelevant for (non-repro) macro photography but many users would certainly like to use it as general purpose lens and the lens has certainly limited capabilities here. The image quality is generally good around f/8 but avoid large aperture settings. This is a good idea to bypass the rather heavy amount of vignetting at f/3.5 anyway. Image distortions shouldn't be a big issue but we've seen better macro lenses here as well.
