Absolutely awesome for the price!
Actually, I had only bought the lens to bridge the waiting time for the Nikon Z 26 mm pancake. I usually shoot with a Z6 for which I also own a few lenses. For short trips with hand luggage only, I bought the Z30 because of its small dimensions and low weight. Actually I wanted to wait for the 26 mm Nikon but now we were on a short trip to Antalya in Turkey and the 69 euros for the lens were not too expensive for me. What can I say: I am very impressed! Of course, the focus is only manual. But you get used to that very quickly thanks to the focus peaking of the Z cameras. Since - at least my copy - has a clicking aperture, focusing with an open aperture is not a problem. When the aperture is open, the edges are quite blurred. But I actually only use the open aperture for portraits or for shots where I consciously only want the center to be sharp. I take most street photos at aperture 8. With this lens, the infinity setting is actually adjusted once in a while. With an aperture of 8 and a setting of approx. 1.7 m, everything is actually sharp so that you don't have to correct anything. The pictures with the motorcycle were taken at f/2 and f/8. The light mast at f/2. All other photos at f/8. It's really amazing what you can get out of this optical construction without any electronic intervention. All photos are unedited and saved as jpg in the camera.
