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...

Tiny, sharp, and affordable—what's not to like?

Bright f/1.8 aperture, Outstanding optical quality, Compact size

Not weather-sealed

I have been a little disappointed with the optic selection for my travel camera (the A6000). I love the A6000, it's not my 5D III or 1D IV, but it's IQ is very good and it's so much less to carry around for travel. The 70-200mm OSS has me very impressed, even against my 70-200mm 2.8L IS mk II Canon.

Oh my gosh it's sharp! Thank you Sony for a second quality lens for my A6000 (70-200mm f4

Can't think of any

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.

Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS is a Fixed aperture Auto Focus (AF) Wideangle Prime lens with Optical Image stabilization and APS-C / DX max sensor coverage, and it is designed to be used with E Mount cameras. What type of photography is the Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS lens good for?

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.

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.

Silent and fast focusing; PDAF supported; Pleasing colours and contrast; Stabilisation is reliable

Focus ring is a bit tough to spin; Steep price

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!

I put this lens on my A6000 and started taking professional quality photos instantly. The lifelike clarity/sharpness of this lens is nothing short of phenomenal. Auto focus is lightning fast, accurate, and silent. OSS works great. Video quality is superb even at only 1080p.

Everything but the price

The price

Total rip off. NOT WORTH IT
