NEX macro lens (30mm focal length, f/3.5 maximum aperture) ensures excellent image quality throughout the entire image area. Featuring ED glass in the G4 element, chromatic aberration and color bleeding are minimized, while multi-coating throughout makes for an exceptionally clear rendering. Direct Manual Focus mode allows you to manually override Auto Focus mode for complete creative control. And thanks to an internal stepping motor and rear-focusing design, this macro lens performs equally as well when shooting video, ensuring smooth, quiet operation and precise focus control essential for high-quality movie capture.
