Alejandrin Klocko –
I bought this lens about two years ago; it was my first lens, and I truly have no regrets. I did almost all my initial projects with it. If you’re just starting out, I recommend it 100% for both video and photography. Keep in mind that it can be challenging to use in tight spaces, as you need a certain distance depending on what you’re focusing on.The most positive aspect for me is its quality and brightness, as it has an aperture of F1.8. Additionally, its focusing speed is quite good.The only downside for me has been the chromatic aberration in certain situations, but it still remains one of the best.

When I saw the difference in quality this lens had over my kit lens when shooting portraits, I became a prime lens believer.It’s simply unbelievable when I shoot a portrait from 10 ft and can zoom in to count the pores on the tip of the subjects nose.But its not just the outstanding detail and bokeh this lens provides – because of its aperture, focusing speed and OSS, I can get a lot of lazily one-handed burst shots (which I do ALOT) come out great than with the kit lens. 1.8-3.5 doesn’t sound like much, but its over TWICE as much light – its a huge difference.But here’s the deal-sealer: its a steal at this price and you aren’t going to get a better prime lens (much less with OSS and advanced/quiet autofocus for video) at this price or close to it.Downsides – its much bigger and heavier than the kit lens, or Sony’s other (terrible) 50mm 1.8, and I had to get it in silver because trying to find the black in stock is nearly impossible. Also, since the a6300 is aps-c, the effective focal length in 35mm is ~75mm, which makes this lens of extremely limited use indoors.Today I brought my kids to their first day of school, and since we would be inside, I used the kit zoom for wide-angle, and immediately regretted it. I can’t even look at pictures shot with the kit lens unless they were taken outside on a sunny day. This lens has made me less careful with controls, so I wind up screwing up shots with the kit lens. While it would be a challenge in an apartment with small rooms, I could have easily made this lens work in a larger schoolroom and would have been much happier with the results.Stop tabbing back and forth between the other lenses and get this one.
