Great ASP-C Prime Lens for Sony a6000 Series
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great prime lens for portraits and mid-range distance shots. I purchased a Sony a6600 recently and I am relatively new to photography. I originally purchased a Sony 50mm without realizing that the a6000 series cameras are built with cropped sensors. So the crop factor is 1.5x, therefore it was a 75mm lens instead of a true 50mm. Well this 35mm lens puts it at 52.5mm which is close enough. It works really well at close range for portraits and when taking pictures of scenery or larger objects. Photographs taken at shorter distance look way better then at a longer distance so I would use this lens for portraits and close ups. This is an ASP-C lens so I would not purchase this if you have a full frame camera. The lens small and lightweight making it great for traveling or if you want a lighter setup. It also works really well in low light but hot here are a few trade offs. You’re going to have to raise the ISO (which adds more grain to the photo) or lower the shutter speed (which tends to make the photos blurry if you don’t have steady hands) I posted some photographs to show what this lens is capable of paired with the a6600 (I edited them in Lightroom after).

Great lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to go with the 35mm lens over the 50mm. 35 let's you get more in the shot while being closer. I mainly take pictures of my daughter, playing, at Disney or just regular still shots of her posing for me. The light this lens allows in is amazing. I love how much more this lens looks than the lens I got with the camera bundle. Everyone ask what camera I am using. I tell the it's Sony A6000 but I tell them it's the 35mm lens as well.

Great sharp lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a sharp lens and is highly reviewed for a reason. I can attest to that. It has been my primary lens for portraits and street photography. I use this lens 90% of the time on my Sony A7ii. It is intended for APS-C but still fits this camera. It won't be 35mm because of the crop factor. There will be no vignette if you set it up on auto crop.

Must Have Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the perfect lens to add to my Sony a6000 camera. The pictures are superb. If you are looking to take pictures with a great field of depth, this is the lens for you. Although it is pricey (it can be more than the camera body itself), it is well worth it.

Q: QuestionWhat's the difference between this and the other Sony 35mm 1.8 lens that's $750? I believe it's "FE". (versus this one is "E")
Asked by Carter.
- A:Answer Hi Carter, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The lens with FE is designed for full frame sensor camera bodies. The one with E is designed for APS-C crop sensor camera bodies. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony. - Pakorn (Sony Social Support)

Q: QuestionHello,just got the Sonya6000 w 16-50mmkit lense. I mostly use It for pictures of my kids, birthday parties & indoor graduation & holiday parties. I want another lense that zooms farther & is good in dark settings. What do you recommend?
Asked by Ali.
- A:Answer For low light, I would recommend the Sony 35m 1.8. It is equal to a 50m. It is a prime lens so it does not zoom out. The problem with Best Buy, is that you will not be able to try the lens out, cause if you do not like it, they will charge you a 15% restocking fee unless you don't mind paying it.
