  1. stacie619

    produces great quality macro shots. can get up pretty close and get fine details

  2. dick

    I bought the Sony 30mm Macro lens primarily to shoot flowers with my A6000. This combination has worked very well and I have taken a number of exceptional shots with it. I have been very pleased with the image quality as well as the close focus capability

  3. RB77

    This lens is on my Sony a6000 most of the time. It takes beautiful photos with great bokeh. I prefer it over my 50mm. There isn’t another comparable lens in this price range.

  4. Altor

    One of the best sony lenses available on emount. Gorgeous pictures super sharp and the macro ability superb

  5. Gomey

    Due to limited selection for this particular platform there wasn’t much choice on my part. It was the only macro available. It works though.

  6. alms816

    I have been playing around with lenses. So far I like it and am glad I purchased it. Some of my shots were blurry. I need to play with more once we can get some spring foliage,

  7. lightwriter

    It’s not just a great macro lens but also a good general lens. Sony quality shines through

  8. ReflectionsOfHisGlory

    Since I would love to get into the world of macro photography but cannot afford to purchase the incredible Sony FE 90mm macro lens, I began to research affordable, but sharp macro lenses. After watching many YouTube videos I decided to purchased this Sony 30mm f3.5 macro lens for my Sony A6000 and am amazed at the sharp detail that it captures and how close you can get to what you are trying to photograph! It also gives you great bokeh/background blur which keeps the attention on your subject. This silver lens is more of a platinum silver just so you know, and is lightweight and very well made. I encourage you to watch some YouTube videos so that you can see just how amazing this lens really is at such an affordable price! You can also use it for much more than just macro photography. Here are two of many videos that convinced me this was well worth purchasing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Y7_DoaiGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMrjC-97T1Y

  9. Lacy

    This is my all in one glass and gives me great detail in my macro and full-frame photography. If you looking for that extra oomph to your pictures then this lens is for you.

  10. frito

    Bought as an additional lens for my Sony a6000 camera. I am excited to try it out. Thanks BestBuy for providing a great price.

  11. Soundbar

    This is a must get. Sharp quality images up close. The details are phenomenal.

  12. z0mghenry

    Bought this primarily to take closeups of wristwatches…it does the job. The other option was almost $1000 which was out of my budget.

  13. savannahforsale

    Great lens for a good value when picked up as open box item. Minimal use so far but happy with the condition of the item once received.

  14. Beto

    This product was great. I would totally recommend.

  15. Melinda

    Great lens. Like new. Bought open box. Fast service. Great price. Happy customer.

  16. Cesia

    Definitely worth the money but it is not the highest quality lens, better products out there but does the job well enough.

  17. Eddie

    This small lens is one of the best I have ever owned!

  18. Butterflys09

    I love this lens. I take a lot of pictures for eBay and to take pictures of jewelry is very difficult this works amazing

  19. Patty

    I needed a lens for taking eBay photos of currency and coins. Excellent detail! Highly recommend!

  20. Dick

    It’s decent for 30mm 3.5f
    More suited for portrait shots. But really expensive. $300.00 is right at insane for a camera lens.

  21. ForMyNook

    My first Macro lens and I love it! Love the detail and it’s fun to use during Spring in nature surroundings

  22. Jose

    Beautiful wide angle shots. Nice depth of field and clear

  23. RoyMor

    I am enjoying this lens a lot. Very sharp images both indoors and out out. I use it on a Sony a6000 and you sometimes have to be a little patient with the AF but I’m getting some great images. If you want to have some fun with macro get this lens.

  24. ZZYZX

    I am using this 30 mm macro lens with the light ring with seven adjustable features that provides me with just the proper lighting while shooting small objects, particularly jewelry.

  25. Clamores

    Has limited range but other then that it is very useful for new people who have a camera.

  26. Eric

    is a good lens for the price you are paying, the bad thing is that if you want to portray an insect is very difficult since you have to get too close.

  27. Jonathan

    It’s good. Kind of tiring having to focus in on an object but the outcome is good.

  28. PhotoRosie

    I need more practice with this but expect it will take excellent macro pix.

  29. Thinab1

    Got this lens for my husband and he absolutely loves it!!

  30. Luke

    Excellent clarity on the macro images I’ve taken. Although there isn’t OSS the images are still sharp and clear once I’ve locked focus. In short I love this lens! It completes my “basic kit” for my a6000 with my 16-50 mm, 55-210 mm lenses. I’ve taken lots of “keepers” with this combination.

  31. mice

    It is not a bad lens. It was what I excepted. Good.

  32. Sanders

    Not too powerful , good for travel lightweight , easy to switch when needed.

  33. glm216

    this was my first macro lens and found it at nearly 50% off as an open box item. it arrived in excellent condition and works perfectly.

  34. user01230456

    This lens works great with my A600 camera. It takes great close-up photos, even in low light. A must for the hobbyist photographer.

  35. LeoR

    Great lens. For the price!! it’s a great value. Which it would be faster. But it’s enough to get those macro shots.

  36. Kimba

    A perfect addition to my kit lenses. Makes macro photography a new hobby

  37. Matt

    This is a light macro lens that allows very nice close-up macro photos at a close range. The autofocus is fast, however not as fast as the dedicated lens that came along with the Sony a6000 camera. However they pair nicely and without any problems.
    I am able to shoot in macro and non-macro modes and good portraits and landscape shots as well.
    I would recommend a protective UV lens filter to prevent any scratches.
    Best Buy provided fast and free shipping which was great as well.
    Overall, very happy with the purchase and recommend this as a macro lens for Sony.

  38. MiamiLou

    I needed a macro lens for some close up shots. This provides clear images at close range on my Sony A6000. Best to use Sony lenses on Sony cameras in my opinion.

  39. jroussell

    This lens pairs perfectly with my Sony a6000! SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT by the way… Helpful tip: just keep in mind – you’ll likely need a TRIPOD to use this lens to reduce camera shake.

  40. Jspawnh

    This was a very good product out of the box from the cabinet.

  41. Instructor17

    I purchased the Sony 30mm f/3.5 Macro Lens to use with my Sony a6000 mirrorless digital camera: I love close-up photos.

    The lens is light and offers full functionality with my a6000 – another reason I chose this lens. Additionally, the price (slightly less than $300) fit my budget.

    I was not disappointed. The Sony 30mm f/3.5 macro lens provides clear sharp images (please see accompanying photos). Of course, because the focal distance is much shorter than non-macro lenses you have to get very close to the photo subject, Practice is needed to capture the desired images.

    Also, this macro lens, as with most macro lenses, is difficult to use if your subject moves a lot – butterflies, for example. But, it can be done; just know it takes a lot of patience.

    Although I haven’t personally used it for a portrait lens, I understand it does a good job for those situations.

    Overall, I am happy with the Sony 30mm f/3.5 macro lens.

  42. BBKaren

    Sweet lens! This is my go to lens for macro shots. It picks up the smallest details and pretty fast too. It also can be used for portrait shots with a nice bokeh effect.

  43. VicramAnn1979

    Definitely an upgrade to the one I had before!! Easy to use and easy to install

  44. Rajesh

    Pro
    The lens is quite light and it came with a hood.
    It can capture bugs that don’t move.

    Cons
    You have to be real close to the subject to get a macro picture. Hopping bugs would jump by the time you get close to it.

  45. CAE123

    Not that much better than what my camera will do,
    Over priced for what you get,

  46. Camman

    Awesome lens, great picture and build quality. Awesome value!

  47. DavidF

    Great lens for macro imaging without breaking the bank. Perfect compatibility for the Sony A6000 body.

  48. Jack

    Amazing extension everyting looks cinematic now. 10/10 would buy again

  49. Adam

    The Sony SEL30M35 has truly exceeded my expectations as a macro lens. The level of detail it captures is outstanding, producing sharp and vibrant images that showcase the intricacies of my subjects. Its compact design makes it incredibly portable, allowing me to explore and capture close-up moments effortlessly. This lens’s overall build and image quality make it a valuable addition to my pack. I highly recommend the Sony SEL30M35 for anyone seeking exceptional performance in a compact and reliable macro lens.

  50. James

    It is really good to have a macro in your toolbox. It is very nice and compact.
