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.

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.

Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

This lens is the perfect "nifty fifty" on the Sony a5xxx, a6xxx series of APS-C cameras. The lens has a very good build quality, and is very lightweight. The wide aperture of f/1.8 makes the lens ideal for indoors use, although if the lighting is too dim the camera will struggle to focus.

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).

Versatile fixed focal length; great in low-light with no flash

Pricey; slightly longer barrel than 16-50mm kit lens retracted

I bought this lens exclusively forgimbal/autofocus work on my a6500. Trust me when I say it's a must buy. When the sun is out, this thing is extremely sharp and keeps focus incredibly at 1.8 If you were on the fence, get off of it and buy this lens asap. You wont be sorry!

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

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.

Easy To Use; Lightweight; Reliable

Doesn't Fit Camera Case

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 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.

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
