Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS vs Sony FE 85mm f/1.8

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.

We'll have to wait for formal lab testing to see how evenly sharp it is, but 85mm designs are typically pretty even in clarity from the center to the periphery.

2: It is supposed to be a low-light fast performer, but I did not find that the image quality I got from it was better than the 18-55 NEX kit lens. I know that sounds crazy since the kit lens is 3.5F at its widest focal length, but it is true. I got this lens to compliment my small collection of E-mount lenses with a wide aperture lens capable of doing more than the kit lens

8 macro, RF 35mm 1.8, RF 50mm 1.8, RF 85mm 2.0, RF 24-240mm, and other lenses in this range, from a budget perspective

Because you need to adjust the aperture with the camera, instead of a ring on the lens, and the focus by wire nature of this lens can be a bit slow (as I feel they have got the ratio off by a small amount). In other words, you have to turn on ring on the lens way more than you should have to. This is great for very very fine adjustments, but for large adjustments it can be tiresome. The autofocus, on the other hand is an absolute delight

My number one complaint is how this was packaged. The lens was in its Sony box and that box was just put into a paper bubble mailer, not enough cushion. My lens arrived without damage, but I worry about if someone orders and there is careless delivery drivers. The Autofocus is a bit slow, but I can manage

Best lens for the NEX cameras. I keep it on most of the time on my NEX-6, and rarely switch to the pancake kit that it came with. In fact, the pancake zoom has failed to work recently, after only about 4 months, whereas this is still going strong. No zoom that needs to be extended on power-on, so you can take turn your camera on and start taking shots very quickly

8 IS is simply so much better, and the price difference isn't as big as with the EF equivalents, that I'll always just recommend the 35mm. And if you already have the 35mm and don't particularly use it, well, the 50mm f/1.8 isn't going to do much for you, either.

I've had problems with the aperture blades not working. The aperture simply stays full open (1.8) resulting in a number of totally overexposed shots. IOW, the lens views and focuses while fully open as it should but does not close down to the proper higher f-setting

8 helps - speed, aperture 1.8 means more speed - bokeh, 1.8 means bokeh, crucial for photographers - Sharpness, this lens is not the sharpest but its very sharp - Sony stabilization and eye/face focus and If you know about lens, the 85 mm and over help the model to look slim, more attractive, that's why if you shoot women that is my case, this lens help them to appear even more beautiful Cheers!
