Brilliant APCR Prime Lens
I love this lens!!! It works really well for low light and shallow depth of field shots. It's also one of my favorite lenses for landscape and cityscape shots. Keep in mind these photos were taken on an old Sony NEX-3N.

Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS SEL35F18
I bought this lens as an additional for the kit power zoom, and it delivers image quality way above the kit one. Although price may be a bit steep, i think it is still a good buy with OSS and relatively fast (f/1.8) aperture.
Pros:
- Silent and fast focusing
- PDAF supported
- Pleasing colours and contrast
- Stabilisation is reliable
Cons:
- Focus ring is a bit tough to spin
- Steep price

When you're first buying into a lens system, whether you're a newbie or a seasoned vet, you should look for an inexpensive prime lens. The kit zooms that come with most interchangeable lens cameras these days usually suffer from compromises in their optical designs, and don't do these cameras...

Finally able to put away lens adapters
Using this lens provides me with glass comparable to what most manual legacy prime lenses many of us use with adapters. In lab testing a Zeiss T* will outperform in MTF data. But in the real world all the program features and enhancements offered by the SONY, like Optical Steady Shot, Auto-focus,...
Pros:
- Fast Program Modes
- Great Dof Control
- No Adapter Need
- Precise Auto-focus
- Very lightweight
- Virtually Zero Distortion
Cons:
- No aperture ring

Makes me love the A6000 even more. Loved shooting fast primes with my Canon outfit and this lens took my a6000 to the next level. Use it as a walk around, much better than the kit lens that came on there.

Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS Review
The Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS lens offers a bright aperture and standard angle of view for capturing sharp images with a shallow depth of field. The Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS ($449.99) is the company's standard-angle lens for its APS-C mirrorless camera system. The compact prime—it doesn't offer zoom—opens all the way up to f/1.8, so you can capture better shots in dim light and blur backgrounds behind your subject. It also sports optical stabilization, a plus for both stills and video. The only thing missing is weather protection, a feature that rival Fujifilm builds into its APS-C mirrorless lenses, but Sony reserves for full-frame glass. If you use a sealed camera, consider pairing it with the full-frame FE 35mm F1.8 ($749.99), but be aware you'll lose stabilization and pay a premium. Compact Standard Prime The E 35mm F1.8 OSS is a featherweight, measuring just 1.8 by 2.5 inches (HD) and weighing in at 5.4 ounces. It supports 49mm front filters, the same size used by many other of the lenses Sony sells for its APS-C mirrorless system. A reversible lens hood is included, along with front and rear caps. Some Sony bodies, i...
Pros:
- Light and compact
- Wide aperture
- Optical stabilization
- Sharp results
- Distortion-free photos
Cons:
- Some off-center softness at wide aperture
- Omits weather protection
