Firstly, let me tell you that this lens is an absolute all around, especially if you’re an event shooter. This Sony 35mm f1.8 is a prime lens that is designed for the full frame cameras, but definitely you can use it on crop sensor cameras too.

Compared to the Sony 35mm f1.4 this lens is much smaller and lighter, and in terms of sharpness, the f1.4 is slightly better than the f1.8, especially when shooting wide open. However, the difference in sharpness between the two lenses is not significant and might not be noticeable in all situations.

The build quality of this lens is exceptional, and it feels very sturdy and well-made in your hand. It is weather sealed, it has a focus lock button, and an AF-MF switch. The autofocus is incredibly fast and reliable even in video mode. The wide aperture of f1.8 makes this lens perfect for low-light situations, and the bokeh that it produces with its 7 blade aperture is just stunning.

I have used this lens in a professional manner for a variety of situations like event, street, portrait and landscape photography and videography, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. It’s a perfect focal length for all around work with only one lens. It’s even more versatile because its minimum focus distance of just 22 cm or 8.7 inches, so you can make nice closeups.

Overall, I highly recommend the Sony 35mm f1.8 EF-mount lens to anyone who is looking for a high-quality prime lens for their Sony camera. It’s definitely worth the investment if you’re serious about your shots.
