Best 35mm lens hands down! If you were deciding between two cheaper prime lenses know that at F1.2 cropping in to 50mm will still give you an F1.8 and it’ll still be sharper then the Sony fe 50mm 1.8

This lens is almost exactly the same size as the 24-70mm GM lens, but heavier. F1.2 is great for low-light, better than F1.4 and much better than F1.8 and beyond. However, I don't like the image quality wide open @ F1.2. The bokeh is busy and a bit distracting, there is noticeable vignetting, and pictures just don't "pop". It's also a challenge to get focus right where you want it @ F1.2, but this is not the fault of the lens. Stop it down to F2.0-F2.8 and the quality is MUCH better- increased sharpness, great bokeh, just much better overall. For me, I will use this lens within that range unless I really need the extra speed in low light.
Autofocus is fast but a little noisy if using AF-C. AF-S just snaps into focus, even in low light. It's a heavy lens but easy to handle. I like the aperture ring, either with clicks or without. Build quality is excellent. Sunstars are pleasing with this lens as well.
Would I choose this as my go-to lens over the 24-70mm GM? Hard to say. 35mm is a very useful focal length, and the ability to go F1.2 is unmatched, but I feel like the 24-70mm GM is just more usable and more consistent in more situations. Definitely a great lens if you know you will be out after dark or really want that super specific depth of field look and are willing to take time with the focus.

This is hands down the best lens I have ever used. I am using it on an A6500 - so I do not even get to see it at its full frame potential and it still produces stellar images. The low fstop makes this lens the best on the market for anyone shooting with Sony mirrorless cameras.

Besides being a bit bulky, this lens is tack sharp! Focusing is way faster than previous models. Most definitely pick this lens up. You won’t regret it.

It’s a great Lenise. Sharp across the frame. Got it used so I didn’t pay full price. I love it though. It has fast autofocus with Sony a7RIV and a7III.
