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.

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.

I bought this for my Sony Nex 5N camera, to be able to take some up close, macro, pictures. Beeing that I wasn't satisfied enough with the the other lenses i have (18-55mm and 16mm). I am satisfied with this lens, a real macro with good picture quality. The lens itself also feels very good, as Sony E mount lenses do. It's about the same size as the 18-55mm lens. What I dont like so much about it is that it can be slow focusing sometimes. Especially if you go from focusing on something close, to something further away. And this with the latest firmware update on the camera as of the date of the review. Also, I would like to have Optical SteadyShot for image stabilisation, as some pictures can become a little blurry if not held steady, or with low shutter speeds.
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.

Lightweight, solid construction, close focus (of course it's a macro), excellent sharpness. For the price, this is an excellent value. I've got a Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 Lens for low light situations, but it's not a macro. So, if you need a macro on a budget for your E-mount, this is it.
