Sony - 35mm f/1.8 Prime Lens for Most NEX E-Mount Cameras - Black

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).

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.

Haven't fiddled with this lens too much yet, but the little I have, I'm impressed, and already planning more photo-outings with it. Attached to my NEX-6, this provides a package that is just fun to use, especially with the camera set to A (aperture priority). The f/1.8 is fast, and means that this lens can take great images when light is low, and no flash is possible/allowed/desired. It also means great bokeh, and with the 35/f18 lens, it is beautifully blurred in the background, while your subject is incredibly focused, meaning the subject is what you look at - not so much the background. With its fixed focal length, you (the photographer) is the zoom. Move closer or further away to get the perspective you're looking for. Some have said (elsewhere) that the lens isn't the sharpest at f/1.8, but my limited experience with it so far hasn't revealed any issues. I've attached a couple of my first images I took with the lens; nothing artistic, but they do let you see bokeh (DoF or depth-of-field) and low-light capabilities. As I mentioned, I'm just looking forward to more time with this lens - and the NEX-6 as well...

This lens is perfect for my sony a6400. It takes clear shots

Great for everything..a must have lens especially for indoors shooting, portraits and group shots. Very sharp straight from the box.

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.

Before purchasing this I got the sigma 19mm and the Sony 50mm and honestly this 35mm is the one that stays on my camera 90% of the time. Very crisp pictures, nice bike.

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.
