Great ASP-C Prime Lens for Sony a6000 Series
This is a great prime lens for portraits and mid-range distance shots. I purchased a Sony a6600 recently and I am relatively new to photography. I originally purchased a Sony 50mm without realizing that the a6000 series cameras are built with cropped sensors. So the crop factor is 1.5x, therefore it was a 75mm lens instead of a true 50mm. Well this 35mm lens puts it at 52.5mm which is close enough. It works really well at close range for portraits and when taking pictures of scenery or larger objects. Photographs taken at shorter distance look way better then at a longer distance so I would use this lens for portraits and close ups. This is an ASP-C lens so I would not purchase this if you have a full frame camera. The lens small and lightweight making it great for traveling or if you want a lighter setup. It also works really well in low light but hot here are a few trade offs. You’re going to have to raise the ISO (which adds more grain to the photo) or lower the shutter speed (which tends to make the photos blurry if you don’t have steady hands) I posted some photographs to show what this lens is capable of paired with the a6600 (I edited them in Lightroom after).

Game changer
This 35mm lens completely changed the look of my videos. The background blur (bokeh) it creates gives that cinematic, professional touch that instantly elevates the quality of my content. It’s that smooth, soft background separation that makes you look like you’re filming a movie — not just a regular video. What I love most is how sharp the subject stays while the background melts away beautifully. It adds depth, emotion, and a premium feel without needing complicated setups. I mainly use it for video, and the results are incredible. But it’s also amazing for photos — portraits look clean, detailed, and the blurred backgrounds just look stunning. If you’re serious about upgrading your content quality, this lens is a very smart investment. Simple upgrade. Major difference. Highly recommended.

Great all around lens
This prime lens makes the perfect companion to my Sony A6000. It works great in low light conditions, AF works very fast and accurate. The build quality is great, and the manual focusing ring feels smooth and very responsive. The color rendition and the bokeh from this lens is absolutely beautiful. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because of the price, I wish it was $100 cheaper. Pros: Size, fast AF, quality Cons: Price
