Making portraits great again
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using my kit lenses for the last year and they have worked well, but I have never been able to get a good portrait based on the higher aperture. This lens has made it much easier for me to get a high quality portrait with crisp edges and excellent focus.

Good Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I shoot professionally and needed a cheap prime lens for a shoot. Focus is a little slower compared to higher quality Sony lenses, but for portraiture work fast focus isnt quite as critical as an event. Bought on sale and happy with it for a cheap lens.

A Must have!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You cannot go wrong with having a 50 in your camera bag. I think if you don't have this than you must like the 35mm. I love a good 50mm and usually shooting below 1.8 I rarely do. I would recommend having.
