Customer Ratings & Reviews

The image quality for portraits is amazing! Bokeh is also very high quality and I’m absolutely loving this lens. Definitely a very easy lens to use.

Nice and lightweight, this lens is a perfect companion to the Sony A6xxx series. This approximates a "normal" perspective, and the wide aperture gives a lot of flexibility for depth of field and shooting in low light.

There's the 35mm and the 50mm - I went with the 35mm for the ability to be a bit closer to my subject and still be wide enough for a group photo. with the f1.8 the lens is fast and tons of light get through the sensor - giving you that great depth of field and high bokeh

I'll start with the pros - excellent for low light photography, including city shots, milky way, etc. Though it is only 35mm, I feel like you do achieve a pretty good bokeh effect for closer shots and photography. I use this with the Sony A6000. Major limitation that I do not like is the lens is not wide enough for landscape. In retrospect, I wish that I paid $100 extra for the retractable kit lens. Outside of joint camera+lens offer, I don't think that lens would be worth the $200 plus they charge.

Takes great portrait and low light photos. Keep in mind that group photos at a short range may not work because this is not a wide angle lens, so it's not meant for every type of photo opportunities. Its a very compact lens and easy to pack in your camera bag for traveling.

I absolutely love this lens. The bokeh blur is beautiful and works well for my YouTube videos.

Thank you so much for that the help. I love this product!

This lense is a great all around pairing with my Sony a6400 mirrorless camera. Easy to carry on the camera and give great pictures.

First let’s start off with the bad, it’s price. But with that out of he way, it’s the one of the best choices you can make for an all purpose walk around lenses. Sony’s 1.5x crop factor puts this at a focal length of 52.5mm which is close to the perfect “nifty fifty” range that’s just right for everyday and street photography. It’s also pretty good in low light situations due to the combination of having an f1.8 and OSS, Sony’s version of optical stabilization. If you shoot a lot of video, you will definitely want this for it’s quietness when autofocusing.

This is only the second lens I have purchased for my Sony A6000 after the two that it came with and it has quickly become my favorite. The picture quality and depth of field coming from this lens is phenomenal. It can create amazing bokeh in portraits and also is wide enough to capture beautiful landscape shots. I don't believe I have taken off my camera since I got it. The only thing I wish is that it were a bit cheaper, but I am getting used to spending on lenses.

I'm relatively new to photography but i did a lot of research before purchasing this lens and i gotta say: it was worth every penny. I currently own an a6500 and this lens absolutely does the trick for me. Impressive auto focus (i know the camera helps too), great low light capabilities, and great bokeh all for under $500. I actually bought this after trying the canon 35mm f2 USM, and i definitely prefer this one, as well as the rest of sonys native line for aps-c cameras. Definitely check this one out if you get the chance.

I love this lens. Ibwas looking for a lens to start some portrait photography and after some research decided on this lens. Eventhough it is a 35mm, on an APSC camera like my A6400, the focal length will be closer to 50mm (full frame). The lense lets in plenty of ligh for daytime indoor pictures and is great for outdoor portraits as well. If you're looking for more scenic shots, then consider an 18mm lense. Build quality is superb, and pictures are sharp. The lense is the perfect size for a grab and go on the fly session which is what I tend to use it for. And portraits of my young toddler.

This lens is awesome. It's performance is outstanding. The wide angle and aperture make it a great companion for everyday pictures. Great for indoor, outdoor and low light situations.

Sharp and focus is great. Great for small spaces. I used this for a wedding in a small space with not the best light and it performed beautifully.

Amazing lens. Fantastic image quality. Beautiful bokeh. Shot my first wedding for a friend--this lens made me look like a pro (I'm not). You won't be disappointed.

This lens is worth buying. It gives you crisp clear image and is very good in low light. Works perfect for my Sony A6000. Fully Satisfied with this product.

Not only is this a great looking lens, the technology and glass help me take wonderful photos. This is a great lens. It’s a little pricey, but worth it!

Purchased this lens to use on my vacation. Very compact, sharp, and a fast prime. I used this with my a6300 and it was perfect together. I loved the light weight and quick auto focus. The perfect travel companion.

This lens has been my go-to throughout the past year for street photography and general video purposes with my a6500. It is the perfect form factor for travel photos and performs fantastically with an ND thrown on the front if you want incredible looking DOF in video. The only complaint I have isn't really against the lens itself, as nearly all lenses in this category suffer from this, but the focus ring just is not very useful for capturing critical focus, and any amount of fiddling will not let you get perfect focus, even under the most controlled circumstances.

This is a great lens perfect for street photography and also portraits as well, and with it being ale to go as low as f1.8 it’s perfect for low lighting situations
