Compact macro lens for Sony E-mount APS-C

The Sony SEL30M35 is a 30 mm f/3.5 macro lens designed for Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras using the E mount. It delivers 1:1 magnification at a minimum focus distance of 9.5 cm, making it suitable for close-up photography of small subjects. The 45 mm equivalent focal length also works well for general shooting.

Stepping motor and aspherical elements for quiet

An internal stepping motor provides fast, low-noise autofocus during movie capture, while three aspherical surfaces and ED glass reduce chromatic aberration. A seven-blade circular aperture creates smooth background blur, and multi-coating improves contrast. Direct manual focus override is available at any time by rotating the focus ring.

Lightweight metal mount with 49 mm filter thread

The lens measures 2.50 inches in diameter by 2.25 inches in length and weighs .30 lb, so it adds minimal bulk to a compact body. The metal mount attaches securely to any Sony E-mount APS-C camera without adapters. A 49 mm filter thread accepts standard screw-on filters, and the internal focus design prevents the front element from rotating during focusing.

Questions about this item

Will the stepping motor or aperture blades need servicing after extended macro work?

The lens uses an internal stepping motor for autofocus and a 7-blade circular aperture; no user-serviceable parts are specified, so normal care and occasional cleaning are the only expected maintenance.

At 1:1 magnification the working distance is only 9.5 cm — does that limit lighting options?

The minimum focus distance of 9.5 cm leaves very little room between the front element and the subject, so ring lights or off-camera flash are often easier to position than on-camera units.

How warm does the barrel get and how audible is the motor during long video takes?

The stepping motor is rated for excellent low noise during movie capture, and the compact metal barrel at 0.30 lb dissipates heat quickly, so temperature and sound stay low in extended use.
