Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony SAL30M28 30mm f/2.8 Lens for Alpha Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: You Can't Go Wrong with this Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is that after shooting many, many photos with this little guy, I've come to the conclusion that this is the easiest macro lens recommendation I could make for the alpha user. The image quality is surprisingly good, often bitingly sharp, with wonderful depth of field, and good color. In fact, when I reveiew the images, I can't make myself believe they came from a lens that is under $200. Way to go, Sony!
The lens is also very light and compact. It is all-plastic construction. But it does not feel cheap; the lens is simply light due to construction materials. But the real issue is the image quality, which, as I say, is surprisingly good. This is a great entry lens to start experimenting with macro photography.
One minor drawback is that the mechanical focus mechanism is relatively noisy. When you get into focus hunting, which inevitably occurs with macro shots, you'll get some fairly loud focusing sounds from the device. But this is about the only drawback I've come up with so far, and its pretty minor, considering the plusses.
Great lens at a really reasonable price. Highly recommended.
