Clear , Crisp and alright!

Got this lens last April 2013 and so impressed with the quality of the pictures I had taken. Lens was so quick to focus and shots were so crisp. Low -light shots for indoors is now less of a problem.
Pros:
  • Quality and performance
Cons:
  • price

Great Lens, excellent in low light

Great lens for traveling and portraits and in low lighting. Only problem is that cases for Nex 6 cameras don't fit with this lens which is crazy since it is only slightly larger than the kit lens.
Pros:
  • Easy To Use
  • Lightweight
  • Reliable
Cons:
  • Doesn't Fit Camera Case

Photography at its simplest

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).
Pros:
  • Versatile fixed focal length
  • great in low-light with no flash
Cons:
  • Pricey
  • slightly longer barrel than 16-50mm kit lens retracted

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

Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS (SEL-35F18) - Review / Lens Test Report

Given the recent announcements, Sony is finally getting serious about beefing up their lens lineup for the Sony NEX system - so far this has been a major weakness of the system. It seems as if they are feeling the heat introduced by the highly successful Fuji X-system.

A Real Beauty!

This is a perfect combination with my Sony A6000. I take it out when I want to travel light and use out and about -it is more discreet for street photography occasions. The sharpness enables me to capture great portraits and the large aperture gives a great blurry dof effect.
Pros:
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Lightweight
  • Quick Focus
  • Sharp Focus

SO WORTH IT

I bought this lens as a secondary to my kit lens and it has become my new primary lens. While 35mm can a bit awkward to use when taking pictures of people in a cramped space, it's PERFECT for shooting in 95% of the situations I'm in and this lens does WONDERFULLY in low light conditions.
