30mm macro SEL-30M35

[sevo]

It is available on Amazon since a week or two - anybody already got one?

 

[FPjohn]

I'm curious as well. Is it the Nex 50mm Elmar: modest aperture, size, price and crisp images?

We'll see - I ordered one. I've rarely been disappointed by macro lenses, and the corresponding Alpha 30mm is generally considered optically very nice, but a bit flimsy in construction.

infinity a cruel mistress. I daresay the nikon 55 micro would outperform both without breaking a sweat.

that a coated 55/3.5 pre-AI

they run about 65USD

The Micro-Nikkor is the normal lens I use for the F. No autofocus etc on the Nex! I've yet to devise / find a suitable footed adapter for the Nex.

my other micro, an oily 2.8

I'm very surprised the 30 macro is not visibly sharper than the kit.

 

[FPjohn]

I hope to see images that demonstrate that it is.

Did you use LocTite to secure the foot?
