Like a star , a photo by lcw:) on Flickr. A close up flower shot. Flower courtesy of my mom, an avid gardener. Shot using the Sigma e mount 30mm f2.8. I rather like the details and colours from this lens compared to the kit lens (18-55mm).

Sigma 30mm f2.8 e mount lens

Fallen , a photo by lcw:) on Flickr. Nice close up lens but without macro. I took this from about 6 inches. As the lens is without optical stabilisation, have to be more careful about camera shake and blur. I minimized this by keeping the speed faster than 1/100s. This was one of the more budget level prime lens available for Sony e-mount cameras. I bought a pair from Sigma both 30mm f2.8 and 19mm f2.8. I like the 30mm as it was nearer to the depth of view of our eyes however the 19mm was good for landscapes.
