    Not sure why folks are purchasing Canon or Nikon. Sony cameras are smaller and lighter with the same image sensor. Much less bulky and what you see in the oled viewfinder or screen is how your image will look like.

    My wife suggested this lens for my Sony A6000 and minus the issues we are having now it has worked great! If you are seeking something that can zoom in and out this is not the lens for you but it does the job for for it's specific niche. Currently having focal issues with it and will swap it soon!

    This is an awesome lens for my sony a6000 mirrorless camera. It is a great everyday lens to keep on the camera i have the kit lens it came with the camera but doesn't do much justice like this lens.

    I owned the 50mm before this and decided to go to a 35mm and the quality and amount of content you can place in a frame is worth the difference for me.

    Bought this open boxed, looked brand new. I’m a beginner and was recommended to get this lens with my a6500 and I haven’t taken it off my camera yet. :)

    This lens produces great photos with low light. For portraits this lens is ideal without backing up to fit the object in the screen. Very good at close ups as well. I have very good clarity and bought the lens on sale.

    I am very pleased with the quality of this lens. For the price, the 1.8 aperture is well designed for crisp image quality with that nice blurred separation from the background.

    Great lens to be mounted on the Sony Alpha series. Photography and Videography wise, it is my go to lens for crucial shots and portrait angles. OSS works great especially for videos.

    I bought this prime lense based on the great reviews and after spending a day shooting photos at an Easter party I am very pleased. This lense along with Sonys soft skin effect can really make some nice portraits!!!

    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.

    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.

    This is a must have lens for Sony aps-c cameras because it gives you that full frame look and because it's Sony native glass the autofocus functions well for video

    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.
