    What an amazing lens! A little pricey though.

    This lens is a must have for every song e-mount camera user who's taking the photography hobby/profession/etc. seriously. Fantastic quality. But it's a little too pricey in my opinion. The 50mm 1.8 is just as amazing and 200 bucks cheaper. I don't get it.

    This is an excellent 35mm f1.8 lens. I purchased it mainly to enable sharp, shallow depth-of-field pics of always moving grand kids. The combo of the a6000 and this lens gives me perfect results!!

    This is now my go to lens. I absolutely love the quick autofocus on this e-mount lens. It provides a nice bokeh as well. Not as precise as the 35mm Zeiss equivalent glass but at nearly $200 cheaper I couldn’t justify the marginally better performance.

    Best Everyday Lense

    This is a high quality prime lens. It has a fixed focal length so if you like to frame your subject without walking around this is not for you. But the optics are so excellent I think you will get a better image than a kit zoom lens. I can always crop at home.

    I backed away from the 50mm because I wanted the most use, and boy am I glad I did. This lens does it all. Great quality, very small body, but does come at a price. A HUGE upgrade from the kit lens.

    I always read reviews before I purchase things. Everyone said it was worth it and I’m so glad I listened! The Sony mirrorless cameras are great... but when added with this lense it’s a whole different ball game. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

    Extremely impressed with the image quality when using this lens with my A6000. Image distortion virtually nonexistent. Very impressive low light quality. The perfect third lens to add to the two normal kit lens that come with the camera.

    This lens is worth the cost invested. The pictures captured with this lens are surreal and to add will be the night photography/stargazing pictures are out of this world. Must buy for the additional cost.

    I really like this lens! For me, personally, having OSS in the lens is almost a necessity. I had a competitors 30mm f1.4 and I didn’t get nearly as good of images as I do with this.
