Great Prime

This is my first prime lens and use of fixed focus, since the days of compact 35mm cameras. I wanted to get back and try fixed focus, after all, that was more or less our only choice if we couldn't afford expensive equipment. This lens is producing very sharp photos and I have been very impressed. The colours are also coming out bright and full of life. I cannot describe it compare to other lenses. If you are looking for a prime 35mm, this is a very decent choice.

Great compact lens for street photography

I loved the compact size of the lens when mounted on my a7CR. I only wish that there was a 24mm or 28mm option available.

Perfect delivery of Sony 35mm f2.8 Sonnar Zeiss lens.

Received package on time. Lens was extremely well packaged. It could have been dropped from a 1000 feet and the lens would have landed safely. The product, a used lens, was spotless and basically perfect. I would recommend anyone to look over the used equipment, like camera gear, to purchase at a much lower than 'new' price. I got this lens for slightly less than half listed price and received basically a new lens.

Buy the sony 35mm 1.8 instead

This lens has a really long minimum focus distance. i can't take detail shots when I am photographing families, dogs or kids. The closest i can get to my subject is 35 cm away which is too far. So I can't photograph eyes, eyelashes, features, basically anything less than 35mm away. This lens was also quite expensive. If i had to choose again i would get the Sony SEL 35mm F1.8 OSS Lens for ?379.

Now in-camera RAW editing?

It came unexpected so disappointed by the lack of this feature. Even for only test image profiles for generating a JPEG to use when in mobility. This is a basic feature that lower price camera has and the lack of it surprised me very negatively

Nice compact lens with good image quality

I bought this lens so that I can travel with a small lightweight prime for general shooting and it fits this bill nicely. Image quality is very good and I haven't noticed much in the way of distortion or CA's. Autofocus seems a little slow, but perfectly acceptable for this type of lens. In an ideal world it would be F2 but of course that would add to size, weight and cost. I do think that UK RRP is too much for tis lens though.

Superb lens

I am particularly fond of 35mm lenses, they just suit what I do. A 35 and 85 are pretty much all I need. This lens is really good, sharp all the way through, although I don't tend to use it below 5.6. Light weight, easy to carry. When I'm feeling lazy and I just want a light, fast, simple set up for street type use, this lens on my A7iii is all I need, or want! As to whether the peculiar lens hood supplied with the lens does any good is debatable. I use it because it came with the lens, it hasn't caused me any problems and at least provides an unobtrusive solution. Good lens, highly recommended for anyone into street work. Price, a little bit heavy, but...........

Excellent quality in a tiny package.

Small and discrete, with stunning sharpness and exceptionally punchy colour. This lens is fantastic for travel. Without the hood attached it's not much thicker than the grip of my A7ii. It's great lens to slap on for street photography for the standard focal length and low profile or when you're going out and don't want a bigger, heavier lens getting in the way. Autofocus is also really snappy- in good light, subjects come into focus nearly instantly.

What a Banger!

What a banger! I wish all primes were this good and this small. It's 35mm, so I don't care if it doesn't open up to 1.4 and neither should you, unless your goal is to impress people on Y**Tube. 2.8 is thin enough for most things that it's worth the tradeoff not to have a family-size can of soup sticking off the front of your camera. The *retail* price is a little high, but within the field of 35mm prime options, I think it was worth it. I just wish every lens came with a programmable focus hold button on the side. I know it's too much to ask, but seriously.

Good in parts

A reasonable 35mm lens - but f2.8 is a little slow for a fixed focal length 35mm. Performance is reasonable but not outstanding. The external finish is fragile and scuffs easily. For the price this is slightly disappointing. I bought this for the compact size - which is the best feature of this lens.

Perfect - Great Street Photography and Much More

Equipped with my A7R III, I simply do not need an F-Stop lower unless I need more bokeh that a smaller aperture would offer for portrait photography with a 35mm lens. The bokeh on this lens is great for portraits. My typical day time street photography is usually done at a range of 4.0 to 8.0 and this lens is a beast such that a 2.8 F-Stop is just fine. An aperture of 1.4 or 1.8 on the 35 mm prime lens is much larger and would not accommodate my particular needs for size. The low light performance on my A7R III is spectacular as well as my older A7 using this 35 mm lens. I can toss this into my backpack being my go to lens for landscape and casual portrait photography. I use a 50mm or 85mm at 1.8 F-stop for posed portraits but usually I do more street photography, landscapes, and family candid shots such that the 35mm 2.8 works better for my needs with great resolution detail. A great overall lens.

Great image quality in a small package

By photocolor

I am using the lens with my a7r. It provides very high image quality even wide open at f2.8, with optimum sharpness around f4 to f/5.6. The lens does the 36mp camera justice unlike many lenses I tried on a 36mp DSLR (another maker) I used to have. My criteria is finely detailed landscapes being reviewed at 100% pixel-peeping on my 25" monitor. The lens is excellent not just in sharpness but in overall tonal rendition (color and contrast).
