This is a must have lens for all NEX camera owners and also a lens that wasn’t easy to find in Stock in US stores. So grab it now here at Amazon (Click here). It is now the fifth most sold lens at Amazon (here is the lens ranking). It delivers impressive results on the NEX-C3 and NEX-5n and a part of the super expensive 24mm Zeiss it’s the only cheap NEX lens that delivers a good performance on the NEX-7.

Every time I hear about this lens, I get this itch to buy it. But somehow end up saying no.
– 50mm on APS-C is just a weird focal length.
– I already have the 50SAL and LA-EA1. It is a good, light lens and almost the same size with the adapter. Just missing the fast/silent AF of the SEL, and of course the OSS.
It seems to be a decent lens indeed, and very good value for the features and quality. But I don’t see myself using / needing it.
30mm f1.8 SEL. I would buy that the moment it hits the stores, even though I have the decent 35SAL. I wish the Sigma was faster.
Well, it’s not a “cheap lens” – these two ones from Sigma are, but this one is sold for quite a price serving an APS-C image circle only, nevertheless I’ll buy it for sure and this Amazon price reduction of 1% is cute.
BTW I’m missing information about http://www.playmemoriesonline.com here!
The Sigma lenses also perform well on the NEX-7.
@ decato, this is a lens is a must have with the nex bodies don’t pass it up, and once you see the OSS in action, I went OH.. damn!!!! The pictures it produces are mind blowing and for low light its amazing to have (used it here @ houston during the freeway @ 10pm @ night driving ) was sweet to have the oss 🙂 no wobbbling like a prime lines. I dunno how better to explain it.
If there is a sony store near you go try it out and you most likely wont leave the store without the lens.
Ok, @armando, I will try that 🙂
Thanks
how bout sigma? i think it is pretty worthy. $200 for each lens and many review said it’s an excellent lens for NEX.
Got mine this week – is worth every penny!
Same for me, the Sigma 30mm F2.8 EX DN on my 5n is great! But I am waiting for my E 50mm…..
