It’s an interchangeable macro lens for Sony E-mount NEX cameras, aimed at photographers who enjoy working close to the details in flowers, nature and small products. That true 1:1 reproduction is its defining feature: a petal’s fine markings, the texture of a handmade object or the small details on a product can take centre stage rather than being lost in a wider view. The 30mm focal length also makes the lens useful beyond dedicated close-ups, including everyday photographs when you want a natural, moderately wide perspective. Autofocus gives you a straightforward way to bring subjects into focus, whether you’re shifting between a product detail and a wider arrangement or following the shape of a flower. At just 138 g, it’s a light addition to a camera bag, and its compact form suits a small camera setup. The f\/3.5 maximum aperture keeps the lens modest in size, while the close-focus capability opens up a distinctly different way of seeing familiar subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eWhere this lens shines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1:1 magnification:\u003c\/strong\u003e The subject is reproduced life-size on the sensor at maximum magnification.

I’d use autofocus to settle focus on the main detail, then compose tightly so the subject fills the frame. The f\/3.5 maximum aperture is a sensible fit for a small lens, but at close range the area in focus can be very shallow; for more depth across a product, try a smaller aperture such as f\/11 or f\/22 and keep the camera steady. One point to bear in mind is the close working distance: the front of the lens sits just 2.4 cm from the subject at its closest, so lighting an insect or reflective item can take care. For nature and tabletop detail, that trade-off is part of the macro experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSony SEL 30mm f\/3.5 Macro lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Sony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: SEL 30mm f\/3.5 Macro NEX (SEL30M35.AE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Interchangeable macro lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 30mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum aperture: f\/3.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum aperture: f\/22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus: Autofocus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Sony E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum focusing distance: 9.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum magnification: 1:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngle of view: 50 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter diameter: 49 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical construction: 7 elements in 6 groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 138 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478614843732,"sku":"2563013","price":235.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/2563013_01.jpg?v=1791469667","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/sony-sel-30mm-f-3-5-macro-nex","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
