Sharp, clear and beautiful image, great minimum focusing distance makes this lens very versatile, very light and perfect for gimbal work as well.

excellent optical performance in a small lightweight lens with good light collecting power. Fairly fast focussing, recommended as a standard 35mm lens.

The bokeh and defocus is amazing. Each portrait I take is simply amazing. It also handles very well dark areas.

I use this with my Tamron 24mm for family and street photography. Great lens with clear and bright images. The only criticism I have is the minimum distance which makes it limited up close. Defiantly a great prime lens

This is a standard 35mm lens work well on A7III. My copy has good sharpness. Clarity is pretty good but I wish Sony made a G version. Lens also works quite well with video and continuous focus.

After damaging my 18-55 kit lens, I researched for a long time before deciding to buy this Prime lens. Its realyl fast, silent, small and produces some wonderful images with great Bokeh. I just need to improve my photography skills now to get the best out of it!

Waited a while for a lens to make me smile, cheap at the price and the results were more than nice. Shoots the best RAW files partnered with the ACR profiles.

I would recommend this lens to 90% of Sony photographers who want a 35mm lens. It's sharp, small, light and reasonably priced when compared to other options. It's always on my camera.

Fantastic for the price! For those that want to spend 2.5x more for the GM 35 1.4 I get it, but if you’re not shooting where you absolutely need 1.4, this totally suffices. Very happy.

Looking to fill the 35mm gap in my prime lineup, I contemplated the 35mm 1.4 GM at twice the price but figured at half the price I could test the 1.8 out to see if I liked the size before shelling out so much dough. After a few hundred landscape and portrait shots with this lens, I can't find any reason to upgrade. I love this lens, especially shooting in low light situations.

I absolutely love this lens. Super lightweight, compact and a joy to use. The sharpness is excellent edge to edge and focusing silent. I shoot weddings, and was missing this focal length as I have the 24mm 1.4 GM and 55mm 1.8 in this focal length area. I found the 24mm a little wide for family formals and the 55mm too to tight. This lens is perfect for the job and many other types of subjects. I’m also getting into video and having done a few test shoots it’s fast becoming the lens I’ll keep on my A7R4 for the job. Fast AF, silent and so lightweight. Love it!

It is a great lens, the autofocus is silent and fast, works great in low light situations, solidly built and light weight. On manual mode (my preferred) you can easily change settings via your camera as well as using the focus ring. This lens is versatile from a use perspective and will be apt for both professional and amateur photographers. If you are on-the-go, the automatic settings won’t fail you or if you are meticulous about taking shots you can work on your exposure settings to work on your composition. For those new to the Sony ecology, this would be a awesome starter lens if you are not into using kit lenses.

I am so glad I brought this lens. It is well built and the image quality is amazing as expected from a Sony Lens. I had a third party 35mm which I was not happy with so I bought this and the difference is like night and day. I mainly use it for video work. Used it for some youtube work and my wife's cooking channel and she is also happy with the quality this lens has brought. The focus hold button and auto to manual switch are some nice features. Photography has been excellent as well with the images being sharp. Bokeh is vry nice as well.

Very sharp. Fast focusing. Light weight.
By Hafeez
I use the prime lens on my A7Riii. It is fast, light and it is just what I was hoping it to be. I was suprised at how sharp it is. It’s sharper then 55mm F/1.8 Ziess. Great ultra fast and quiet lens offered by Sony. F/1.8 works extremely great in low light condition. Lightweight and well balanced on my A7Riii.
Extremely Sharp
By Chris M.
Sold my Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 in favor of this lens. The Sigma was incredibly sharp wide open but in my tests the Sony is sharper wide open. The Sigma does have a little better bokeh due to 1.4 but not a deal breaker for me. I have come to find that native Sony lenses just perform better regardless of the situation and I don't mind sacrificing bokeh. This lens is on par sharpness wise with the sharpest lenses I have owned including the Zeiss 55mm 1.8 and Sigma Art 85mm 1.4. Highly recommended.
FE 35 mm F1.8
Offering outstanding image quality even at its maximum F1.8 aperture, this compact and lightweight 35-mm prime lens for full-frame cameras is a versatile choice for everything from tabletop photography to the great outdoors.
Full frame, fast, small, and lightweight
Although this fast F1.8 lens weighs a mere 9.9 oz (280 g) and is just 65.6 mm x 73 mm in size, it offers outstanding image quality that makes it a great all-around choice for photography and moviemaking. It is a full-frame lens, but balances well with APS-C bodies, providing an equivalent focal length of 52.5 mm that is ideal for portraits and snapshots.
High corner-to-corner resolution
An aspherical element is strategically implemented in this lens's advanced design to suppress optical aberration and achieve high resolution right out to the image periphery. Smooth bokeh is also available when needed, supported by a 9-blade circular aperture mechanism that contributes to natural-looking bokeh.
Reliable AF tracking for any situation
The narrow depth of field available at a wide F1.8 aperture makes focus critical. The quiet, fast response and high precision of this lens's linear-motor AF drive system ensure precise focus not only for stills, but also for movies where "wobbling" is employed for delicate continuous focus control.
Move in for impressive close-ups
A 0.73 ft (0.22 m) minimum focus distance and 0.24x maximum magnification make this lens useful for close-ups as well as general photography and moviemaking. High optical performance is maintained at close range, providing the quality needed to create stunning images of tabletop subjects, flowers, and more.
Customizable focus hold button
A conveniently placed focus hold button not only offers easy focus hold control, but can be assigned to a variety of other functions from a menu accessed via the camera body. The focus hold button can be assigned to display grid lines to aid composition, to adjust white balance, and to other functions that support efficient, versatile shooting.
Easy manual focus/autofocus switching
A focus mode switch that allows instant switching between auto and manual focus mode can be a great advantage when shooting subjects or situations that require fine manual focus adjustment.
Natural, linear manual focus response
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise.
Dust and moisture-resistant design
A dust- and moisture-resistant design provides the reliability needed for outdoor use in challenging conditions.
