Customers enjoy the excellent image quality, impressive bokeh, and low-light performance of the 35mm f/1.8 Prime Lens. Many appreciate its compact size and ease of use, along with the lightweight design. While some find the price a bit high, the lens's depth of field capabilities are frequently praised.

    This is a great prime lens with a great depth of field. It also allows you to be closer to your subject in tighter spaces, and for that reason I prefer it to the 50mm.

    Large apertures and OSS are always nice to have. It does have a bit of purple fringing wide open, but there aren't many alternatives to this one for a standard field of view on an APS-C camera.

    Use this lense for night and indoor pictures. Great for portraits and also group pictures. I also use it for night video as it has a large aperture. Great all around lense.

    Got this lens to replace my kit lens on my Nex 5N and love it so far. Great in low light, rarely use it in F1.8 due to narrow depth of field but love using it between F2.2-F2.8. Highly recommended.

    Was wondering what to get for a lens for my a6300 for low light and portraits. After a lot back and forth landed on the 35 and it’s great. Great choice!
