The Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS is a compact prime for Sony APS-C E-mount cameras, giving a 52.5mm field of view that matches how the eye sees. Its f/1.8 aperture keeps shutter speeds up in low light and blurs backgrounds, and built-in Optical SteadyShot adds about 4 stops of shake control. Focus and aperture are driven by quiet linear and stepping motors, so it works well for video, and Direct Manual Focus lets you fine-tune by hand without leaving autofocus. It is the natural fast normal lens for A6000-series and NEX bodies; the main alternative, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4, is faster and cheaper but bigger, without stabilization.

Owners rate it as one of the best-value fast primes for APS-C E-mount, praising sharpness wide open, smooth bokeh and reliable stabilization. Common complaints are the plastic build and the focus-by-wire ring.
The Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS is a compact, fixed focal length prime lens for Sony E-mount cameras, including the Alpha NEX-5R, Alpha NEX-6 and the NEX Handycam camcorders. It is equivalent to 52.5mm in 35mm terms and is approximately 1.75 in (45mm) long. The f/1.8 maximum aperture suits fast-moving subjects and low-light shooting, and it can produce background blur in portraits.
Newly designed optics reduce spherical aberration and give sharpness and contrast in the center and at the edges, including when shooting wide open at f/1.8. The circular aperture helps create smooth, circular bokeh.
A quiet linear motor controls focus, and an in-lens stepping motor controls the aperture. Together they give smooth, nearly silent operation, which suits video. Direct Manual Focus lets you fine-tune focus by hand, even in autofocus mode. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization gives approximately 4 stops of shake control for low light and for tracking moving subjects in video.
