  1. Jerry

    Love this lens for portrait photos and also use it for videos

  2. AGRASKA

    Great lens! Super light and easy to throw in my camera bag.

  3. Beardedleo

    My wife suggested this lens for my Sony A6000 and minus the issues we are having now it has worked great! If you are seeking something that can zoom in and out this is not the lens for you but it does the job for for it’s specific niche. Currently having focal issues with it and will swap it soon!

  4. Jonno

    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).

  5. Unknown

    Great addition to my camera case. I was told I would need this lens for my collection.

  6. Ant719

    Bought this lens to shoot in low light situations, love the size of this lens that fits in my pocket.

  7. Zythrus

    Absolutely amazing pictures! The portraits you can take with this lens are amazing! The only downside is that there’s no zoom but you quality of the pictures overrides that in my book anyday.

  8. Vonskii1

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

  9. Irene

    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.

  10. isch

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

  11. Hongvelyinus

    Must have Sont APS-C E-Mount lens. Good for both photo and video.

  12. Jeff

    Easy to use! Works as intended. Creates great quality photos!

  13. PIX3LPUSH3R

    I’m definitely not a Pro, but this lens can certainly create superior images compared to similar shots using the kit lens. This lens let’s me capture sharper images in lower light settings.

  14. Lena

    Great lens for portrait. Makes my A6000 a prefect size for traveling

  15. Chelsie

    I use this lens with my Sony a6000. I am very happy with this lens and would recommend it.

  16. Goodknight

    I purchased this lens as an everyday lens to take both portraits and lifestyle shots and it is perfect. Very fast and super sharp.

  17. Matt

    This is an amazing lens, especially for the price. I bought this prior to my best friend’s wedding and it has quickly become my primary shooting lens.

    I am someone who prefers prime lenses, and if you are new to the mirrorless world – you need this in your kit. The images are sharp, clear, and stunning.

    While my camera is not the newest (I have the a6300), I found myself loving my camera more than ever after owning it for 2.5 years now. I use it more frequently and am inspired to take pictures again.

    If you find yourself in a creative rut, get yourself this high quality prime lens and enjoy yourself. 🙂

  18. SonyLens

    I really love this lens for my Sony. Super clear & crisp image

  19. Dans

    This is nice lens for the price. It will not compare to a gm or a $2000 dollar lens but you shoot some good picture with it.

  20. Lovely

    Great portrait lens for sonya6000! Pictures come out with the most professional look.

  21. Scott

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

  22. Cosmo

    Wanted to purchase prime lense for Sony A6000. Read reviews and decided this was best for what I was looking for.

  23. Pixels

    One main reason why I bought this lens is because of the OSS feature and this lens its stabalized!

  24. Boogie

    Bought this as my first lens and I’m glad I did. Pictures are sharp and the bokeh looks great.

  25. Donna

    I love my sony cameras. I love my lenses as well. However, this lens is not one for me. I tried it one time and was not impressed. I hear it is a really good lens but I was not impressed with my photos.

  26. Robert

    Great lens! I’m still learning but the lens is better than the kit lens.

  27. MrDuendi

    If you are not a professional then this is the lense dor you!

  28. Gloria243

    The Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens is an excellent choice for anybody who wants a fast, compact lens that delivers excellent image quality and versatility. The lens is relatively lightweight and compact, making it an ideal option for travel and street photography.

  29. Myfavorite

    I loved the way it captures the angles for my videos and photos.

  30. Taylor

    I got a 35 mm because I have a cropped sensor so it’s equal to a 50 mm. It’s so nice to have a true 50 mm for photoshoots

  31. MozhdehR

    Love this lense , great addition for any camera’s.

  32. CoreianP

    I just upgraded my kit lens to a 35mm 1.8 Emount for Sony a6400!!! It’s Amazing!! I promise you the difference between your kit lens and this 35mm lens is that it will inspire you to explore new perspectives. GET IT. Stop thinking about it.Get it. LOL ITS SO GOOD.

  33. chris

    using with zve-10 and works great, using as a webcam right now.

  34. CrystalW

    Great little lens to add to my growing arsenal. Would recommend

  35. JoeCass

    Superb For Close Family Shots Indoors Or Outdoors. Easy To Put On And Remove From Cameras Body

  36. Memory

    35mm a must have for your lens kit. GREAT PRODUCT.

  37. Micky

    Perfect for low light footage and headshots this is my go to lens. If you a want perfection look to your videos and photos this is a perfect buy!

  38. CAMERAGUY

    Really great lens I did a little research ahead of time and found this was the best all around use. SONY is on top of their game

  39. Martino

    The pros of this lens are simple: it’s small and compact, light weight, and it has OSS. Attached to my a6400, it’s easy to carry around, which makes it great for travel or street photography. The OSS is also great if you plan to video because it stabilizes the video image.

    The cons of this camera is that it’s an old design. It’s not as sharp as I’d like it to be and paired with an APS-C sensor, it’s actually about 50mm, which is a little tight at times if you’re used to shooting with an actual 35mm focal length.

    But let’s compare this lens with its rival, the Sigma 30mm 1.4. The Sigma is a sharper lens, and it’s better in low light. However, it’s twice the size, it’s heavy, and when you travel with the Sigma or even do street photography, you can tell you’ve got a heavy lens attached to your camera. The Sigma also doesn’t have OSS, so your videos will be shaky.

    Hope this review is helpful. As part of this review, I included a photo I took with this lens on the Sony a6400 in B&W.

  40. Curtis

    I used to shoot weddings with large dual Nikon DSLR’s and an array of lenses. After i stopped shooting weddings I waaay simplified my setup to an a6000 and this lens. I’ve done landscapes, street photography, portraits, product photos, even some semi-macro from cropping which is allowable because of how sharp this lens is.

  41. BomboVarga1981

    A lens that I should have bought a long time ago. It creates amazing photos and detail videos. If your are artistic, this is a must have. The aperture of 1.8 along with the OSS is a beautiful combination. You will miss out if you don’t have this lens. The Value is unbeatable. Not for vlogging though. If you vlog, get a wide angle.

  42. Michie

    Great for beginner use! Purchased for my trip to germany and i got some good shots with it!

  43. IvanM

    Really good lens too take street photography and portrait photos!

  44. CarolinaC

    Great little lens for the price, I get amazing pictures with it and it’s my go to for family photography

  45. NazirahJ

    Love this lens! I’ve been using it for all of my content!

  46. kidseoul82

    For the price, I really wish it had more manual focus support and features, but the lens is a killer. So light and easy to use, giving you a beautiful image with silent+fast AF and great stabilization. It’s kind of a need in the Sony APS-C world.
    F/1.8 is more than enough and produces really beautiful bokeh. Great for photos and video!

  47. JuanR

    Overall great lens to vlog with. Very good for taking portrait photos.

  48. Vino

    Very sharp image and excellent image quality. Recommend for novice photographers.

  49. Sidney

    This lens does everything I need it to do 8.5/10..

  50. WilmaR

    Nice crisp pictures. I needed a medium range lens and this one fit the need.
