Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

Thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/1.8, you can take bright photos in low-light locations.
The versatile 35mm lens is suitable for street, landscape, and portrait photography.
You can take sharp handheld photos at slower shutter speeds thanks to the image stabilization.
You can hear the motor when the lens focuses, which makes this lens less suitable for videography.
The lens isn’t water-resistant, so you can’t take photos in the rain.

Description

Take bright photos with soft background blur with the Sony SEL 35mm f/1.8. This camera lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.8. That means the lens captures a lot of light, so you can also take photos in the dark. The fixed 35mm focal length gives you a wide view for street and landscape photography. If you stand closer, you can also take portraits. The image stabilization reduces vibrations, so you can record smooth videos and take sharp photos. The Sony E mount fits APS-C and full-frame mirrorless cameras with an E or FE mount.

This lens is a must have for the A6000

Bokek, bokeh, bokeh
Compact
Fast autofocus

Top lens, just been able to order with the Sony cashback promotion and of course a fast and neat delivery thanks to coolblue.

Quality of the photos is much better than the kit lens (Have a Sony A6000 + 16-50/f3.5-5.6). Incredibly beautiful and good bokeh effect, autofocus is very fast and accurate, lens is also very compact and not heavy, so easy to carry. Perfect for portrait photography, photos where you want to have the foreground and background nicely separated, also very nice for landscape photography.

No zoom options because it is a prime lens, so a fixed focal length, pay attention to this before purchasing whether you will be happy with the 35mm.

Perfect lens for beautiful photos of everyday things.

Image Stabilization
Nice sharpness/depth
Perfect for everyday photos

I already had a 50mm f/1.8 lens, but I noticed that due to the crop factor of my Sony A6000, I was often too close to the subject (my daughter) at home. I missed the space around. A 50mm lens with a crop factor of 1.5 eventually becomes an 80mm lens. That's why I went looking for an alternative and ended up with this 35mm lens. I am very happy with it!

It is therefore less 'zoomed in', making it ideal for shooting at home. I no longer have to go to the other side of the room to get a nice picture of my daughter while she is playing nicely ;-)

This lens was also ideal on vacation. With a small adjustment in the aperture, you can first capture a landscape beautifully, and then switch again for a detail photo with beautiful bokeh.

When I photograph and set the aperture to f/1.8, I notice that it is difficult to get the sharpness in the right place. Logical, since f/1.8 comes very close. That is why I recommend (especially with people and animals) not to go lower than f/2.0. Then you have a better grasp of the sharpness.

Fantastic lens for Sony A6400

Sharp and beautiful bokeh
Auto focus is great
Beautiful photos even in low light
Price is relatively high

Fantastic lens. I hesitated between the Sigma 30mm and this one. Sony's OSS finally convinced me. Sharp enough for (semi) professional work. Autofocus is amazing with the Sony A6400. Beautiful bokeh and great photos even in low light. A polarization filter is recommended if you want to get even more out of the lens.
