Product Reviews

I bought it 2 weeks ago and my gym videos are transformed

perfect for travel photography. glad i made this purchase

The Sony 35mm F1.8 OSS lens is lightweight and pairs seamlessly with the a6400 camera. It excels in focusing, delivering sharp images even in low-light conditions for both photography and videography. While colors may appear slightly dull, it offers great value for money, despite some challenges with group photos due to the focal length.

Very Good products can use every day good job for new member

Bought my zv-e10 and this lens for my first camera few months ago. Am happy with the performance.!

Good quality , small lens but very good picture, i love this lebs

This lense hasn't come off my camera since I bought it. Produces amazing photos

The pictures taken with this lens are very beautiful in terms of bokeh.

I bought this lens together with the Sony A6400. I like the wide aperture of f1.8 as compared to the kit lens. It works well as it is like a 50mm. Very good for portrait but for landscape, perhaps 18mm or 20mm would be better for a APSC camera.

Bought this lens at a discount. Good to use with good focal length and brightness. Useful and practical for my purpose with OSS. The images are sharp and clear given the price of this lens.

Bought this before my trip to hawaii. Love the photos taken.

I bought this about a month ago and it's an awesome lens. Nice sharp and good quality images

It’s working great for me. Nice weight which is a big plus. Clarity & Sharpness right where I want it. Very pleased

I bought this lens and very good quality and meet my expectation. Enjoy using the feature and i love the build in oss

Sharp, fast AF and great low light shots on A6000. This lens also can shots better quality of video. Very satisfied the results on this lens.

I have the Sony A6000, I purchased this with the kit lens, I then purchased the Sony18-135, but wanted a prime lens, after watching all the reviews on YouTube, I settled on the 35mm 1.8 lens, and have not regretted it whatsoever, I take the camera with me whilst walking, and have taken some fantastic photos, plus I keep it in the front of my coat, to protect it from cold, and the size is very handy as well, love it.

The lens function well as claimed with beautiful bokeh. A little pricey compared to other 35mm lens but build quality is good & has optical stabilization.

I really love this lense and regret not buying it earlier for my trip last year

It's light weight, fast, accurate af, sharp enough

Good for the money. Small and light. Great results.

I'm very happy with the purchase. The background blur is excellent and I enjoy the photos/videos it produces.

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.

This is an excellent lens but rather expensive. Shop around and it can be bought cheaoer.

Recent bought the Sony E 35mm F1.8. More than happy with quality of images from edge to edge. Great lens for evening and portraits and I would strongly recommend.

Compact in size, nice bokeh! Recommended for beginner with budget constraint.

I just bought and tried E 35mm f1.8, quite please with the result

If you using APSC E mount camera, this lens is a must have lens.

My favourite portrait lens. Very sharp and fast, excellent in low light conditions, great results shooting videos.

This lens is very sharp for everyday use and is great for taking night photos. I am very happy with the purchase.

Bought this lens as first lens for a6000. very pleased with pictures so far but not taken many yet.

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.

Got this a month ago to complement my kit lens and im pleasantly surprised how good the quality is as compared to the already good kit lens! The creamy bokeh and the crispy images really make this a lens worth investing in!

love it just love it, wonderful product, i d suggest any sony cam user buy this one

Great lens with beautiful colour and bokeh in a fantastic package for travel and street photography

Small and lightweight. Easy to focus. Good for product shots!

I looked at many sony lenses reviews and this was one of the most highly rated lenses out there. It is a great prime lens with amazing low light performance. Recommended!

The challenge of low light photography is fun during the magic hour with this lens. Also lessons the burden of tripods in capturing interesting images “on the run”.

I bought this SEL35F18 for my a6300 about few months ago and I do found very useful for this. It is so convenient to carry everywhere as the size is small and light. The auto focus speed is fast, great bokeh, excellent sharpness and the image quality is wonderful. No regret to get this as my first prime lens for my photography path and I will continue to make good use of this.

I wanted a fast, prime lens for my α6500. I bought this lens after researching comparable E-mount lenses. Not only have I found the image quality to be excellent, but after less than 2 months I am less and less inclined to use the 16-50 zoom which came with my camera, even though it makes easier to take pictures.

Compact, great autofocus, excellent image quality!

This lens is the best one I've ever used. It can create clean and sharp photos in any light conditions. It can use a landscape as well as a macro lens. impressively versatile.I used the images taken by this lens as my desktop wall paper. Nice job Sony.

Bought this lens a week ago and love it. Will be using the lens for my a6000 camera.

This is a good lens, but I think it is overpriced. I bought this lens and it is a good quality lens good for video and photos. I find it better for video than photos because this lens can be a bit soft (might just be my copy don’t have another lens to compare it to). If I were to rate the sharpness out of 10 I’d give it a 7-7.5 depending on the circumstances. It is a good focal length for walking around, especially for street photography. It is a fast lens that creates creamy bokeh and has quick AF. The lens is a little bigger than the kit lens so it is compact and does not take up much room. Good size I would say. It is overpriced in my opinion, but for the money you are getting a compact small lens, good focal length, fast aperture for good bokeh, and OSS.

Low f stop for great bokeh effect and very sharp lens

As someone who is new at photography, this lens provides a great experience as a first lens. Its better than the starter kit one and worth the money if you want something better than the default.

This is my first prime lens, why oh why didn’t I buy it sooner. Excellent quality lens, Sharp and brilliant Bokeh

Only a dabbler in photography but having this 35mm lens on a crop body sensor camera gives me a 1:1 with what I see. I did think of the 50mm Prime but as an indoor / general walk about lens this 35mm is small enough and gives great detail. Using it indoors is superb as it offers more than the 50mm for my needs.Works well with the A6500

Very good image quality and suitable for regular lens for me.

Pros: Small & light Easy to use focal length Excellent image quality Great in low light No distortion Fast focusing & start-up Cons: May hunt for focus if the area is too dim (low contrast), but that's probably the camera's fault (A6000)

It's a little pricey compared to its counterparts in the market.

Bought this to take pictures at my niece quince few months ago. Got really great pics of the event and was a great complement to my a6000!

Pros, Small lens with OSS, big enough aperture, nice bokeh, sharp photos when subject are near. Cons. I wish it was 30mm, also wish it was sharper when subject are further away, slightly high price. But, still the best lens I have and I will surely recommend.

Bought this 2 months ago. Picture quality is good. But found that when it is used in Auto mode, the aperture opens and closes with a very loud sound. Didn't expect an expensive prime lens to have this problem. Going to send it back to see what Sony has to say.

Really pleased with the product. Its 52mm equivalent on 35mm film camera has taken be back to my original Olympus with 50mm lens, and I am enjoying moving my feet to get great shots! Fast focus and lots of light in the lens is great

I really appreciate the compact design and solid build of this lens. Its combo with an a5000 can easily fit into a jacket pocket. The image quality is great overall. SEL35f18 features remarkable sharpness and clarity. The only negative about it are noticeable axial chromatic aberrations which are visible at maximum aperture as green edges around high-contrast objects behind the focus point and magenta edges in front of it. Most of the time you won't notice this on portraits, but you should keep this in mind when shooting wide open under bright light. P.S. to sony.co.uk team: please note that the MTF charts on this page http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/camera-lenses/sel35f18 belong to the SELP1650 power zoom, not the 35mm prime.

This lens is a bit of a luxury. I was able to justify it when my SELP1560 was mugged and I needed a lens in Japan. It gets rave reviews and I am not disappointed. I have added one photo chosen at random that shows the results hand held at f1.8 and 1/60sec.

I wanted a sharp lens with a similar view to the natural eye which was small and light but gave a sharp image. This one meets all requirements, it's a great lens for those dark places and when you want to be unatrusive.

Recent convert to E mount with the twin lens a6000 kit (16-50 and 55-210 lenses) these can take good quality images, but the 35mm f1.8 really nails it for sharpness and low light work. Would ideally like to see a shorter design however it's not a big problem..

Awesome lens and a huge upgrade from the standard 16-50mm kit lens that comes with the a6000. Being a prime you can't zoom in but the amount of light this thing is able to get fr that wide f1.8 aperture is insane! Again, comparing this to the kit lens, it's like night and day. Kit at 35mm is f5.6 vs f1.8. That alone is a huge difference. Very sharp as well, great color rendition and looks and feels great - doesn't matter parts of it are plastic, it's good quality. Also with the optical steady shot (OSS), this thing is the real deal. It is pretty pricey, specially comparing it to the 50mm f1.8 prime (which is just as amazing) but as I understand it, the 35mm is more complex with more glass elements which is harder to make etc. I think it's worth the money. I thought about off brands which are half the price, but you lose the OSS and it's not as fast and bright. So overall great lens, go buy one for your a6000 or any NEX camera and see the difference/improvements! If you have any questions for me just comment on my review and I'll try to get back to you. ps attached is a sample pic that were taken with my a6000, shot in FINE jpeg mode and was not post processed.

I bought this along with an A6000, and am very impressed with the build quality as well as the images. AF is very quick, and OSS is a major bonus. The bokeh at 1.8 is pretty creamy too
