E 30mm F3.5 Macro SEL30M35

Macro photography can be a creative, educational and thoroughly
enjoyable pursuit. The SEL30M35 has been designed to offer versatile,
high-performance macro capabilities in a lens that is compact,
lightweight and easy to use. At the time of release the SEL30M35 is, in
fact, the lightest interchangeable 1:1 macro lens available anywhere!
It is a true 1:1 macro lens with a 2.4 centimeter minimum working
distance that allows tiny subjects and details to be rendered with
excellent resolution and contrast. But it also functions as an excellent
“normal” lens for day-to-say shooting, and a smooth, quiet internal lens
drive system makes it suitable for shooting movies as well. The SEL30M35
is a great choice for a second lens that will let you explore the world
in creative new ways. A dedicated lens hood that won’t get in the way
when shooting close is included.

E 50mm F1.8 OSS SEL50F18

A focal length that is perfect for portraiture and a range of other
subjects, a bright F1.8 maximum aperture, Optical SteadyShot (OSS)
image stabilization and impressive image quality. Put it all together
in a lens that is surprisingly compact and lightweight and you have
a winning combination: the SEL50F18. The large maximum aperture
and Optical SteadyShot are worthy features in their own right, but
working together they make it possible to shoot crisp, clear images
under low-light conditions that would be beyond the capabilities of a
conventional lens. The F1.8 maximum aperture and a circular aperture
design also join forces to create gorgeous defocusing effects. Add
responsive, quiet autofocus and aperture operation, and you have a
lens that is ideally suited to shooting movies as well as stills.
