Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS

We're awarding the E 35mm F1.8 OSS the same rating as the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary

I got this lens with a hunger for a good prime for my NEX-7. It is a good lens, but I hold back my 5 star rating for it for two reasons: 1: Although it is a fairly good and sharp lens, I do not believe it is worth the ~$450 that I paid for it. 2: It is supposed to be a low-light fast performer, but ...

This lens is not noticeably sharper that the 3.5-5.6/18-55 kit lens as measured by a few casual tests to determine if I could see an improvement. Nope. I mainly use it on my NEX-5N at indoor events with friends and family for casual shooting without a flash. At f-1.8 It's much better than the kit fo...

This is a good lens but my biggest problem with the lens is the price. I know this upsets many Sony fansboys, I got kicked out of a Sony Photographers Facebook page because of it, but this is really only a two to two two hundred and fifty dollar lens not four hundred and fifty. I actually find the S...

There are better options than this especially at this price point. Its not as sharp as some of my other lens, namely the 18-55 sigma 2.8. Buy this has oss and thats important for me especially for indoor photos. I bought this mainly because of that fact.

I've been waiting for Sony to make a good standard prime for NEX for more than a year that I own a NEX 5n. So far NEX primes were somewhat of a mixed bag: with nice (and expensive) 24mm Zeiss and 50mm on one side and weak 16mm and fairly useless 30mm F3.5 macro on the other. I'm happy to say that 35...

Talk about a total disappointment of a lens. I will admit that the price is very fair and it's built very well for that price. The issue is the optics just aren't good enough to even be on the shelves. It's definitely razor sharp in close focus and very sharp from about 2ft to 8ft. The problem is a ...

Edit 8/19/15 I ordered a new lens and the noise and vibration were not evident on the new lens. I've taken some photos and really like the images, especially some that I took with low light. I particularly like that the size is closer to the kit lens so the camera remains light and smallish (I have ...

I'll admit that I don't have much experience with buying or using photo equipment as this is a new thing I'm starting to get into, but spending the $450 for this bad boy was well worth it for the kind images I'm getting with it on my NEX-6. Yeah, it might be a bit more expensive than a lens of this ...

This is a nice lens, for a long time I was thinking about getting a fixed aperture lens like this. It has a nice depth of field on my APS-C Cropped sensor. I'm generally happy with it. It does give a little bit of chromatic aberration which is fixable in Photoshop. This might not be a high-end profe...
