    The SONY 35mm F1.8 is a great lens because it is close to what the eye sees. 35mm is a natural focal length and the lens features a fast aperture at F1.8. I used the Sony 50mm and found the focal length to very narrow. Making it difficult for wider angle. The 35mm makes a decent portrait lens as well. In low light conditions the lens shines and produces nice bokeh.

    When first trying it out, I didn't see much difference between this and the kit lens (16-50mm). As I continued to experiment with it, I loved the quality of the photos. It works great and it is amazing at taking portraits! Would definitely recommend if your photo purpose is portraits. I have yet to try it with landscapes.

    I bought this for my Nex-6. It takes sharp pictures with a nice background bokeh. It lets me get the shot without standing too far away. I also have the 50 mm 1.8, another great lense, but you need to back away more, I put this on the camera 90% of the time for most of my day to day shots and potrait shots. Yes, it's a little expensive, so also get a UV filter right away. Comes with a lense hood.

    I'm no pro when it comes to camera and lens, but I do love my Sony alpha! I loved my camera to begin with but one of the ladies working at the store gave me a small lesson on lenses and cameras and i fell in love with this lens. Now this lens is the one i use the most. I love it
