On my camera 90% of the time
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive for a 1.8, but ultra compact for street and photo journalism work. The 35 1.4 variety is just too in your face with its size. Also great for gimbal video work as it’s light and no focus breathing problem. No front end movement when focusing also help on the weather sealing.

Great prime.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I just had one prime I’d use this lens. Very cinematic and auto focus is more reliable than even the g master at half the cost.

Amazing Lens!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve used this lens for numbers projects so far. I’ve filmed short videos, longer videos, used it as a face cam lens, and taken photos as well. Its quality is amazing and so is the auto focus it comes with as well. I definitely recommend this lens especially for its price and size.

Must Have Lens for Starters
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are beginning to invest in the Sony FE ecosystem, then this lens should be one of your preliminary purchases. Not only is it extremely versatile in the sense that it can be used in both large open spaces and smaller confined ones, but the glass inside of the lens truly amps up the overall quality and sharpness of your image and footage.

Perfect and Portable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before, I had the Sigma 35mm F1.4 for E-Mount. Although I loved that lens, it was very heavy and bulky for walking around town or taking to events. Decided I don't need the wider aperture for 95% of the stuff I'm taking. Sony did absolutely wonderful on this lens. It's very sharp and fast while being very compact and portable. 35mm is my most used focal length, and I love being able to use this lens without getting tired.

So far fast and sharp!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far in my limited use of this lens it seems to focus very fast and has great sharpness and details. I have recently switched over to Sony mirrorless after many years of Nikon, so we’ll see how this plays out in time.

Best Sony 35mm for video
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned this lens and currently own the 35mm G Master lens. If you are looking for a 35mm lens for predominantly autofocus video work, this is the best 35mm sony makes. You can't go wrong with this lens. It truly has very good optics.
