The Sony SAL-30M28 30mm f/2.8 DT Macro Autofocus Lens is a compact and portable macro lens meant to introduce novice photographers to close-up image-making. Its cost, design, and overall size all lead the tyro to comfortably accessorize their kit lens, and begin developing a library of optics for their camera.

Note! Not compatible with 35mm or "full-frame" digital SLR cameras

• 30mm lens (45mm equivalent in full/frame 35mm format) is an "everyday" focal length with the benefits of macro-ranged optical properties.

• Focusing down to an impressive minimum focusing distance of only 5.1" (13cm) is aided by the inclusion of Sony's Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) smoothly driving the lens system.

• 1:1 subject to projection size ratio gives life-size renditions of photographed elements.
