Product Reviews

The bokeh and defocus is amazing. Each portrait I take is simply amazing. It also handles very well dark areas.

The size is reasonable and easy to carry. I love the sharp autofocus and crisp of each photos

I've bought this and happy with this lens a perfect fit to what I need for portrait work and in a fast moving environment i.e. dancing studio.

Bought lens for my car club. Never fail to make great pictures

I have been using zoom lenses and was asked to do a friends birthday party found that it just as I expected it sharp and light weight and well priced

Reasonably priced, F1.8 performs well in low light environment, suitable for night photography, without flashlight. With this lens, travel with my Sony A7IV is no longer a burden.

Wanted a reliable prime lens for things like street photography and general landscape shots.

Light and versatile. Easy to carry around and into a sling bag.

A simple standard 35mm lens. good low light performance. this should be a beginners 1st lens

Brilliant lens at a great price. Sharp edge to edge with next to no chromatic aberration. This lens as very light and I find it works amazingly on my A7ii

A good lens with the wider view angle but the sharpness is as not match when compare to 55 f 1.8

it has solid AF and close range, the sharpness is above average, but the price is too high, compare to the Canon's 35mm RF which has 1:2 macro, IS lens and is cheaper.

I both it on Amazon with an amazing discount. Good all metal build body and focus ring. Overall, I am very satisfied.

Lens not build solid, seems loose moving parts within lens.

Using it for a month now and I like it. My wife is asking me why do I ever need other lenses now? :-D This lens is very fast and sharp! Also it’s lightweight and small enough even for my a6600.

50mm blah blah blah.......35mm is where its at, street portraits, studio etc, full body shots, closeups - all good, especially bokeh in the street, ove got 6 lens in the kit bag, and I use this by far the most.

Very good I ma like ! Focus very fast, sharp light weight.

The lens is sharp, small, extremely light and great at all stops.

After damaging my 18-55 kit lens, I researched for a long time before deciding to buy this Prime lens. Its realyl fast, silent, small and produces some wonderful images with great Bokeh. I just need to improve my photography skills now to get the best out of it!

Waited a while for a lens to make me smile, cheap at the price and the results were more than nice. Shoots the best RAW files partnered with the ACR profiles.

Paired this with my Alpha 6400 and it brought statisfying results (52.5 full frame equivalent). Very good optics for street and travel photography.

Have always been a fan of 35mm field of view as it's balance of compression and perspective is pleasing to my eyes. The lens is very sharp and it's well built although it's a mixture of plastic and metal. Fast aperture allows me to shoot handheld at night without using flash.

This is my first sony lens and I so happy with it.

Prior to this lens, i was using Nikon Z6 with Nikkor 35mm f1.8 S lens. It was sharp, crazy sharp even at wide open. My eyes bleed just from viewing the image. JK. When i change the system to Sony, this is the only lens i can put side by side as comparison. Honestly, the sharpness is not as great as Nikon S lens, but given the size difference (and price), it is indeed acceptable. Not to mentioned smaller filter thread too (save some money there). One thing i really dislike, when in "off" position, the lens gives out "clunk2" sound, i thought something was broken internally. Not really a problem tho, totally gone when switched the camera on. Side notes, the metal construction really awesome, premium feel to it.

Very good I like 35mm1.8 sony is the best for short films.

Excellent lens! Sharp wide open. Good close focus. Nice bokeh

This is a compact and lightweight lens. Great for an everyday lens. Its AF works flawlessly and the lens centre sharpness is amazing even at wide open apertures. Highly recommended.

Very satisfied with the results. Tested out in a few shoots

Simple lens for daily use satisfied with the performance. See the below image.

Amazing image quality at a tiny size and price. I love this one so much!

Looking to fill the 35mm gap in my prime lineup, I contemplated the 35mm 1.4 GM at twice the price but figured at half the price I could test the 1.8 out to see if I liked the size before shelling out so much dough. After a few hundred landscape and portrait shots with this lens, I can't find any reason to upgrade. I love this lens, especially shooting in low light situations.

I bought this lens in December and have been blown away by it since! It’s super sharp and fantastic for film! Due to lockdown restrictions I haven’t been able to film as much as I would like, but looking forward to getting out later in the year and trying it!

This lens is absolutely fantastic. The colours, contrast, and overall image quality is absolutely superb, even whilst at f1.8. I originally sold this lens to get a 35mm compact camera, and almost immediately regretted it. I bought this lens again, and have loved it ever since. Clients love the images it produces, I love the size and functionality of the lens, and what's best? It's a fraction of the price of the 35mm g-master. If you are umming and arring over which one to get, definitely choose this one.

This lens is perfect for both videography and photography. Very fast lens offering superb sharpness. Light and handy. As always, 35mm is ideal for portrait.

Very capable lens and also very affordable. although it is not those f1.4 lens, it really provides enough depth and also very good in terms of quality. able to render high res pic

I absolutely love this lens. Super lightweight, compact and a joy to use. The sharpness is excellent edge to edge and focusing silent. I shoot weddings, and was missing this focal length as I have the 24mm 1.4 GM and 55mm 1.8 in this focal length area. I found the 24mm a little wide for family formals and the 55mm too to tight. This lens is perfect for the job and many other types of subjects. I’m also getting into video and having done a few test shoots it’s fast becoming the lens I’ll keep on my A7R4 for the job. Fast AF, silent and so lightweight. Love it!

Awesome lens for street and also portraits with more background.

For context, I shoot video, not tons of photos. I bought this for a video project after seeing Brandon Li's review of it, as I had to do similar work as he did (whereby I need a lightweight all-purpose lens on a gimbal *Ronin SC*) that I could shoot nearly everything on (wide, medium, close-ups). I've used this lens non-stop since I bought it. Wish it was cine-glass for more cinematic flare, but for the price of this it DELIVERS what is essential and looks great. Can't wait to put it on my new a7sIII when it arrives. If I only could pick one lens to put on my camera - it's this one.

I am so glad I brought this lens. It is well built and the image quality is amazing as expected from a Sony Lens. I had a third party 35mm which I was not happy with so I bought this and the difference is like night and day. I mainly use it for video work. Used it for some youtube work and my wife's cooking channel and she is also happy with the quality this lens has brought. The focus hold button and auto to manual switch are some nice features. Photography has been excellent as well with the images being sharp. Bokeh is vry nice as well.

This lens is light, fast and sharp. Perfect for video interviews and using on my Ronin S.

Just bought it for month, very happy with this lens sharp and fast AF

Very decent optical quality, sharpness, autofcous speed & bokeh. I'm not sure if it's just my lens, but what seems to be the focusing "part" is moving when camera is switched off, and doesn't move when camera is switched on. Focus on-hold button comes handy.

Great for scenery, sharp, light, fast. Portraits also good but have to get too close for good bokeh. This is a good lens for taking group photos rather than a 55mm lens. Video bokeh not as good as too wide. Need to get really close up on subject. Is sharp however.

I bought this lens about a months ago to pair with my a6400 to use for portraits, as the FOV is roughly the same as 50mm full frame. It is the best purchase of a prime I could have made. The lens is so small and light, it makes the setup so easy to carry and very discreet for shooting with. The images are pin sharp and the focus is rapid. It has reasonable levels of weather sealing and the focus button on the side adds extra control options in to the mix. I would highly recommend this lens!

Excellent piece of lens - small, lightweight and perfectly balanced on the A7iii. Optically very sharp and good bokeh. Can also sort of do macro with its incredibly short minimum focusing distance. Only complaint is the chromatic aberration in high contrast situations under certain shooting conditions, otherwise I would have rated it 5 stars.

เล็กและเบา ความคมดี เหมาะสำหรับเป็นเลนส์ติดกล้องอย่างมาก

it is a very versatile lens, small compact and light weigh

I am so happy with this lens yet the price is also affordable ! The result of the photos also stunning !

For me, it is a very versatile lens, small compact and light weight!!

Fast AF. Surprisingly close focus distance for a 35mm. Lightweight and cheaper than its 2.8 and 1.4 counterparts. Metal casing feels solid. Lens vignetting is strong

I like the sharpness, light weight, easy to use. Both portrait and landscape are really nice!

This lens among the best lens I have. Its been my favourite lens.

I got this around a month ago and already shot entire sessions with this lens. Great for indoor and outdoor shoots!

Melting scene sharp The distance is not far. Good Love sony

Easy focus.Nice picture from this lens.I use it with a7iii It a nice kit.

just switch to Sony system a month ago, this lens blown my expectation away with its small form factor and achive a good bokeh for potraits. to top it off the working distance is not huge.

The Sony FE 35mm's lens quality, size, weight and cost make it a perfect companion to the A7 II camera
