Hello internet! At long last this is my review of the Sony 35mm f1.8 (APSC) lens. It's my favorite lens and I go over what I like and don't like, as well as show photo examples and a little bit of video. Let me know if you like this type of review, I would love to get into more lens reviews. Might do the Sony 18-105 G lens next! Thanks so much for watching, cya in the next one!

One of my favorite lenses too for the A6000 series. Can't beat the size of it and the OSS. Image quality is great too. I'd take this over the Sigma 30mm any day.

As an owner of the a6000 you have become my go to helper. Your videos are great love your style and how they relate. Some reviewers have moved on and I just don’t move up cameras every new model. In fact this will be my last camera. I bought a slew of lenses when making my purchase and this was one. Will dig it out and work it. Thank youn

I had fallen out of love for filmmaking and photography over the last two years. Bad breakup, lack of confidence and then in and out of work due to this pandemic had me beat.

Yes yes yes! Arthur from TechnologyMafia was the reason I got the 35mm f1.8 as my first non-kit lens 16-50mm 55-210mm. Taking a trip to Disney with the family and plan on keeping this lens on my a6000 95% of the time. Will throw the 16-50mm on for some wide shots. And on the Safari will use 55-210mm. Getting really excited to take this setup on our first big family vacation since getting the camera just over a year ago.

@PixelSplash999 4 года назад

I was stuck between this lens you reviewed Sony 35mm 1.8 and the Sigma 30mm 2.8 EX DN. I ended up getting the Sigma for £100 second hand. I went for this, because of the many reviews said this lens was a lot sharper than the Sony 35mm 1.8. I must admit, it is tack sharp wide open. It's a lovely little lens. I also purchased the Sigma 60mm 2.8 DN ART for the same price a few months later. Shame Sony doesn't bring out some nice focal lengths for aps-c as good as Sigma. Mostly full frame all the time. Great video.

@anthonyperez6460 4 года назад

So you convinced me to get the Sony a6000 as my first camera, and had been trying to decide on a lens to grab other than the kit lens. You convinced me to get this one now too :-P So far have just photographed my dogs and my niece but the pics have come out great. (Got it 2 days ago). My next one will be the Sigma 16mm f1.4 that you had suggested. Keep up the great videos! Thanks!

@kyletaggart 4 года назад

That’s awesome to hear Anthony! The sigma will definitely open up nice possibilities. That lens best showcases its abilities a little closer to subjects. The Sony 35 is my go to walk around lens, glad you’re enjoying the shots!!

a6000 with 35mm 1.8 lens in 2019 .. and still nice

@saxophonicmusician 5 лет назад

Very nice! I've been flipping and flopping between the kit lens or something like this since I took my A6000 to Vegas last week but found that I can't shoot smooth video with the Sigma 30mm 1.4 (still took some awesome photo's though) might end up getting this lens since it has OSS on it and it is a great length for vlogging.

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

It’s a little too tight for vlogging I think, at least for holding out with your hand. I honestly prefer the kit lens for vlogging.

@johndonaldson5126 2 года назад

The most common use for my Sony 35 1.8 is on my backup a6400 which my wife uses as a 2nd shooter for family portraits. She gets better photos than she does with the Sigma 30 1.4 due to better focus and OSS. I will probably sell the Sigma 30.

@bachtiarfirgiawan1596 5 лет назад

I have this lens by November 2018, and yes I really love this lens on my a6000. In fact, this lens makes me want to shoot more because after 8-9 months shooting just with the kit lens isn't really satisfied me in visual aspect. And this lens is really helps my problem. By my experience, the Sony FE 35mm 2.8 Zeiss lens is unbelievably sharper lens. But it has 2x price, and don't have OSS which is somewhat helpful for video. So, the Sony E 35mm 1.8 OSS is really high recommended lens for anyone who look for native Sony prime APS-C lens. It's sharp enough, it's versatile, it has fast AF, good in low-light situation, and good for video.

Hey Kyle, loved the video new to photography and was looking at getting either a refurbished a6000 or a Canon Rebel t6 which do you recommend? And also what lens would you recommend for traveling?

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

100% the a6000. DSLR bodies (the T6) are much larger (fatter) and in my opinion, the a6000 will just get you out shooting more than carrying around a T6. (my work uses that exact camera). As for lens for travel, the kit lens is great, I always recommend ppl to get it with the camera. It's cheaper to get the kit lens with it then to wait and buy it later. Also the 50mm f1.8 is a great starter, it's half the price of the 35mm f1.8, and you can probably find that one used for $200 or less. :)

@ClassicalPan 5 лет назад

Do you ever record these videos with the 35mm or would that just be too close for where you're sitting? I'm trying to determine whether the 16mm or the 35mm will be better for me. I've been strongly considering buying the 18-105 first, which will let me explore many different ranges. BTW, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you're sitting about 2' away from your lens. I expected to see distortion at that range. Are you correcting for distortion when editing your videos?

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

I don’t use the 35mm for videos, I only ever use the sigma 16mm. And yeah I’m about 2-4 feet. Video is shot at 16:9 so it probably takes away the barrel distortion slightly. If I put my hands towards the lenses you’ll see distortion. The 18-105 is a fantastic lens.

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

You can use f1.8, it’s not width it’s depth that you have to worry about. Also I’d say the sweet spot is f8 for landscape. I mess with that a lot. 5.6 or f8 are usually my quick options when I wanna get a nice landscape without staying in one spot for a while and really checking everything.

Hi Kyle, I’ve read a comment on the interwebs somewhere that 35mm (full frame) is great for over-the-dinner-table photography. Could you do a video on that please? I can’t find anything on that topic. Do i go 24mm on my kit lens? Do i set the picture setting to “Incandescent”? I find that with the prevalence of flourescent lighting everywhere (they’re actually better for your eyes than LED), I need to go to “Neutral” lighting mode to cancel out the yellowish tinge.

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

Hey Kevin! Are you referring to overhead photography? (Like top down view?) I mean 24mm is the focal length equivalent for 35mm on full frame. Go with what you think looks best! Also if you’re shooting RAW and will edit your photos you can adjust the EB after the fact. The incandescent WB does help with indoor lighting.

Try the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 and you will have a new favorite. I have the Sony 35 1.8 and it's okay but could be sharper. The 35 is equivalent to a 52.5 so takes the place of a nifty-fifty. It's a good all around lens but as I said it lacks a bit of sharpness.

Hi, watching your video from Indonesia. Great video. Anyway, in Indonesia this lens cost less than the sigma 30mm f1.4. My main purpose of the camera is photography, only little video. Is sony still better compared to sigma in 2020? I'm a6000 user too, thank you.

Kyle, you said you rarely use manual focus. I have the A6000 with the kit lens and have only ever been able to use manual focus~~is there an auto focus somewhere that I am missing? Please advise! I had a Panasonic Lumix and you used the little toggle on top to focus and that does nothing with the A6000. I have a feeling I am missing something *big*~~thank you!

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

Sheree you must have the focus setting set to M. There is AF-C (auto focus continuous) and AF-S (auto focus single). Use AF-C. half press the shutter button and it will auto focus! You’ll see green boxes that show what exact points it’s basing the focus on. Unless you have a manual lens, you should be able to auto focus!

Hi Kyle, I have had this lens from the beginning (thanks to you :-)). Can you please suggest a good, not too expansive, sony, if possible, lens for landscape photography? I’m thinking about a sony 11mm f1.8, sony 10-18mm f/4 oss, but I would like to have a zoom lens to cover landscape photography plus everyday photography. Thanks in advance for your response.

@kyletaggart Год назад

I have a review on the Tamron 18-300mm lens that’s a great all around lens. Can get wide but you can also do everything in between as well, downside it’s a little large. As for Sony, there is the 18-135mm - lighter, but not the same big wide range. There’s also the Sony 18-105 f4 G OSS, lens tube doesn’t expand, which is nice. F4 is nice. I know Sony has came out with 3 faster aperture lenses this past year, but I haven’t gotten my hands on em! If you want smaller size and lighter, the 10-20mm f4 would be good. If you want more range, and don’t mind size, I’d check out the Tamron and Sony’s.

Great review as always. Personally only feel the OSS and size is the only advantages over the Sigma 30mm. If I didn't just get the Sigma I might have considered this one. I have the Sony 50 and had the Sigma 16mm and after using and seeing how amazing the Sigma is that is why I went with the 30mm. A few other big reviewers also said the image sharpness was better with the Sigma, while it was minor, just something to consider if you are between the 2.

@timgalletas3856 5 лет назад

hikyletaggart yeah 1.4 would be helpful but probably at a higher cost. I will suggest to get a 49mm variable ND filter for your 35 lens. Amazon has some decent ones for lens than 30 bucks. Both the 35 and 50 Lenses have a 49 thread so you can use the Nd filter on both. It’s a game charger with the nd filter on these lenses. I mostly use them for video but they are helpful in photography as well. Maybe you can make a video about it.

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

Any suggestions for one? I know they can be pricey.

@timgalletas3856 5 лет назад

hikyletaggart i use a K&F Concept from Amazon. $25. It seems to have better reviews than other cheap filters. You can get a premium one for way more. I only use it to slow the shutter speed when needed so I don’t mind using this cheap filter. But if you always use it might as well try something more premium.

@timgalletas3856 5 лет назад

If you do get this filter it uses a 52 lens cap which you will need to purchase separately if you don’t have one.

Hi, I’ve been watching your videos for a bit, trying to make the jump on buying the a6000. This would be my first detachable lens camera. I have been a Nikon point and shoot forever p530 Nikon. Question, I have no clue on manual shooting. Please tell me if the a6000 is good auto modes while I’m learning. Also I’m nervous about the menu settings I hear it’s complicated. I was going to buy the d3500 Nikon dslr because of my knowledge of Nikon, but I love the compact size of a6000. Thanks for the help

@kyletaggart 5 лет назад

I think any menu system is kinda complicated at first. I think a small hurdle is it's not touch screen, so going through the menu is less accessible than touching a screen. The canon M50 has that going for it. As for auto modes, it has multiple, but I'd suggest working with "A" aperture priority mode. ISO will be auto, shutter speed will be auto, and you just control the depth of field, which is also how much light the lens lets in. I use that mode a majority of the time, and actually a lot of more serious photographers as well. The small size of the a6000, Canon M50, and others really gets you out taking MORE photos. I think that's the beauty of these cameras. 👍

@robertcudlipp3426 5 лет назад

Also Sony users seem obsessed with inbuilt OSS/ISS etc, this is a little curious as at the outset of the a6000 and siblings releases Sony had an almost bare cupboard of native lens and relied on those bodies that had this ( overrated feature - in my opinion at least?) to make up for the shortcomings os their lens. Also, when Sigma came out with arguably the best lens, both at the time and now, for the a6000 et al series, it gave fast 1.4 lens apertures. In the now distant past, most photographers looked for fast glass - still do- for obviouss reasons and used with higher ISO speeds can give several stops of de facto OSS.

@MerlinBorghuis Год назад

This one cant zoom in and out right? Im not a pro but i just got it and find its so zoomed in compared to the 16-50

@kyletaggart Год назад

The kit lens is 16-50mm and this one is 35mm. You are correct it can’t zoom in or out, but almost always, prime lenses (meaning a fixed focal length, in this case 35mm) are sharper, and typically have a better maxim aperture - so for 35mm it’s a f1.8 vs the kit lens is at best f3.5 at 16mm. If you shoot jpg, you can setup “clear image zoom” which is a way to “zoom” with a prime lens. The camera does it’s best to not lose quality while essentially zooming in on the frame. Prime lenses make you use your feet to “zoom” in essentially. The 35mm can produce a much better quality image than the 16-50. But, for some people a zoom is more important - utility / plus just your use case of what you shoot - might require a zoom over a prime.

@@PREMIERJEWELRYDEBRA it would do just fine with action. It's all about shutter speed when it comes to action shots.

Aside from price, you didn’t mention other “cons”. Kissing lenses is not recommended, guy 😃. How about taking lens review up a notch and showing sharpness images at different apertures, and edge to edge sharpness? Suggest a technical demo of lens stabilization (e.g., photos of grid, handheld, at different shutter speeds noting when blur begins to set in with IS on and off). Stabilization will differ from person to person, but a demo test might be very instructive. BTW, was that your Pentax K1000?
