extremely sharp macro lens. Extremely sharp lens, small size and light weight make this a very good macro to travel with altough distance to subject can get very close obscuring light on the subject at its closest focus. Slower focus to other macro lenses ive used but that could be the mirrorless Sony NEX3N camera im using. A uv filter cant be used with the supplied hood so another hood can be used if a uv filter to protect the lens is on.
Good lens although everything pictured not included The lens looks in good shape and the pictures I took with it look good. The bottom lens cover was not included, although it was in the pictures, and instead had aluminum foil covering the bottom. I have a cap of my own, so not a big problem.
Solid Value This is Sony's most economic E mount macro lens. While it was designed in early 2010's, it still delivers good images on older and newer cameras. It's a true macro, and would make a good addition for close up shots. It seems to work better with older models like the A5100 that has the zoom built in into the camera. I had some problems with the A6400 as the focus ring on my unit (it was used) didn't seem to respond properly. A solid value, but not totally on par with more modern, higher end lenses.
