    This is by far my favorite lens. The background blur is is so good in photos and video. When I am shooting 120p on my Sony A6500 this is my go to lens. Solid build quality.

    This is a great lens with the Alpha 6000 camera. It takes great pictures indoors with low lighting and no need for a flash. Highly recommend it.

    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!

    Great for low light, super small size, comes with lens hood, and silent auto focus. The focal length is PERFECT for the APSC.

    This is the best lense I've used for portrait work. It's not the most expensive or advanced, but it does the job better than I could have hoped for on my budget.

    A good 35mm option for NEX, e-mount...

    The Sony - 35mm f/1.8 Prime is a good choice for an everyday "walkabout" lens, offering good optics and image quality. It is not the sharpest or fastest 35mm option for e-mount, however, though the other options will cost you significantly more money...

    Excellent lens for the price. Videos are sharp and have excellent depth of field. Autofocus is lightning fast. I wish this would transfer to a full-frame body for the future, but right now this is my favorite lens for my Sony a6400.
