Macro photography can be a creative, educational and thoroughly enjoyable pursuit. The SEL30M35 has been designed to offer versatile, high-performance macro capabilities in a lens that is compact, lightweight and easy to use. It is a true 1:1 macro lens with a 3.84-inch (9.5cm) minimum focussing distance that allows tiny subjects and details to be rendered with excellent resolution and contrast. But it also functions as an excellent “normal” lens for day-to-day shooting, and a smooth, quiet internal lens drive system makes it suitable for shooting movies as well.Light, compact macro lens delivering high image qualityIdeal for close-ups of flowers, insects, and more1:1 magnification ratio for frame-filling close-ups3.74" minimum working distance from image sensor to subjectFeatures aspherical lens elements and ED glass
