Ive owned my Sony a6000 for almost a year now and plan on building up my lens collection. This is the first lens that Ive bought aside from the two lenses I got with the camera (16-50 and 55-210). Ive only played around with it for a day, but the quality is amazing and I can tell right away this is going to be a game-changer for my photography. As an amateur, I cant go into much detail about the specifics of why this lens is making me so happy, but what I can do is provide pictures for you to decide!

Great lens. Sharp enough for professional work. Amazing autofocus when used on my a6500. No complaints. All of the photos I attached were shot with this lens on the a6500 with natural light. Minimal lightroom editing. I shoot video in a studio for a living. Im not a professional photographer but a friend asked me to shoot family portraits for them because I have a decent setup.

Excellent all purpose lens. I would recommend to anyone, who needs professionalism while traveling light, and can do without a zoom.

I have a trip coming this week and was excited to exclusively use my 35mm lens. It came today and when I unboxed the first thing was a Vonage phone charger and then the lens is wrong with a missing back cover. The lens is totally exposed in the box! I’m thinking this was a returned item and they didn’t check the box - the charger I’m thinking was for weight. (See photos) I am SO upset being I only have a few days before my trip. I will be returning this item and hopefully getting the correct lens! I will update once I reach Sony.

Having access to a wider aperture and a faster lens is a game changer. I can get much more of a bokeh effect as I can access a shallower depth of field. This prime lens is also much sharper than the wide-angle kit lens at 35 mm. I never bothered to try to simulate bokeh in post-processing, but now I know that I probably never will. Nikon and Canon have been in the lens game for a while, but Sony is really stepping it up recently. And youll be able to take advantage of Sonys autofocus much better than with a third-party lens. I plan on using this lens for landscapes, but I also used it for a portrait of my roommate, and it looks very clear and professional. Very happy with this purchase. (Small concern: I did hear this weird noise when turning on my camera for the second time I used this lens. Anyone know what that might be?)

Fast and accurate autofocusing on my Sony a6500. Beautiful bokeh and superb low light performance. Sharp edge-to-edge, even at wide open. Great for photography or filming. If youre using a gimbal, this compact lens is easy to balance and wont wear you out after a day of shooting. I have both Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 Art and this lens. While both are spectacularly good, this has a tremendous advantage in being easier to travel with and nearly-instantaneous autofocusing. Outstanding lens overall.

As a novice photographer, I only have two lenses: the kit lens that came with my Sony a6000, and this one. The kit lens itself does really well taking daytime/outdoor photos, and this lens covers all the other use cases I would need (indoor/dim lighting, sunset and after, city lights). I dont know enough about photography to say anything more about it, but fortunately there are a ton of pros who have already expounded on how this lens is one of the best bang-for-your-buck lenses you can get.

An excellent lens. Tack sharp and very quick to focus. Also with the OSS, have hands held down to 1/8 of second with no problem.

Im an aspiring photographer and earlier this year, I decided to upgrade my camera to the Sony a6000. I ordered this 35mm prime lens with the camera and Im continuing to tap into the capabilities of this lens. One of the things I love about this camera is its ability to bring out the color and details of our lives. Find me on Instagram --> @amoideen Pros: -Crystal clear images (see attached pictures) -Bokeh is astounding -Fast capture -Image stabilization -With the combination of the camera, this lens is able to handle light and darkness very well. Too often, you see pictures where tree lines are pitch dark or details are hidden in shadows. This lens will help bring clarity to those beautiful little details. Cons: -Fixed zoom....but hey, its a prime lens

This has become the lens that stays attached to my camera in perpetuity until I need a telescoping zoom. Great pairing with the Sony A6000, and vastly better than any kit lens, so long as you are willing to work around the fixed focal length. It’s not the widest, and maybe a turn off for those who want that for landscape at a moments notice. But it’ll do in a pinch, especially if my manual focus pancake lens is left at home. If I don’t want to be out and about with my full kit bag, this lens on a crop sensor is as close as you will get to having a walk around ‘nifty fifty’ with you at all times (works out to about 52.5 on the crop sensor). Would highly recommend
