Pros:lightweight, not too expensive, precise autofocus
Cons:Certainly not a very sharp optics, made general questionable (I don't like it), distorts more than I expected
Opinion:As a portrait painter I can't help but own a 35mm, but I'm sorry because I took it after possessing for several months its 85mm big brother and, in all honesty, there really is an abyss between the two optics... this has no sharpness other than very closed diaphragms (but then I do not need it) and distorts too much, the subjects can only be resumed from afar. I don't like it, if I could do without it I would make it.
Pros:Excellent price-performance-size ratio, good for AF and re-resolution
Cons:on 42 mp it has slight aberrations, too neutral as yield.
Opinion:I sold the 50 1.4 zeiss before it devalued too much given the rumors of a GM 1.2, which was discovered between 24 and 135 I opted to buy 35 and 85 1.8 taking advantage of the cashback. the 35 is not actually my favorite focal point, but it still remains very versatile. this 35, which many praise, takes a few shots on the 42mp of the a7riii. the resolution remains very high, even at full opening, but to achieve the performance of the GM you must close at least f2.5. photographing in the backlight or with reflective metals in the scene, slight aberrations can occur probably not at all noticeable on 24mp. Luckily I found no signs of flare, even shooting in full sun, if anything it loses a contrast thread, but I find it absolutely normal. the 35 1.8 remains a very light and very small lens. very performing at AF level, but, compared to the famous and expensive little brothers, it lacks verve. when I look at the photos taken with 35 1.8 I find them absolutely neutral, almost aseptic, indeed, midges. of course, processing the file you can get a lot. but already the 55 1.8 zeiss for me had much, much more character. I will conclude by saying that, however, it remains a MUST HAVE lens given the relationship between dimensions, performance and costs. it's just PERFECT for making street and generic walking photos.
Pros:Very light, very fast in the af, very sharp, tropicalized.
Cons:Proletarian lens that does not make status, but intelligent.
Opinion:The perfect lens does not exist, but for those who use the 35mm this lens solves many problems. Fast, brilliant, light and above all cheap. Used with a7R IV it allows you to perform even important crops, so as not to make it necessary to mount longer optics. For those looking for the blazon, instead, it will have to turn on 35mm 1.4 GM or on ZEISS lenses. Of course, if you think about the price difference of around 1300 euros compared to 1.4 GM it might seem like nonsense. Maybe that's nonsense!!! but monkeys are made to get on your shoulder and get you stupid... but the GM red mark or the blue one with the inscription ZEISS are really nice ......
Pros:Light, Fast and precise Af, sharp already at full opening, aesthetically beautiful, flare resistance, excellent contrast and color rendering.
Cons:For the time being nothing
Opinion:Recently taken, in combination with Sony A7ii,it is the first lens I have Sony, I feel very good with the 35mm focal, let's say it is the center of my kit, I repeat the AF is very fast, and I have the A7ii that everyone says is slow.... sharpness even at F1.8 at least in my specimen.in my opinion it is the best choice as size/weight/brightness, it lies exactly between the large f1.4 and the small f2.8. I find the blurry very beautiful, suitable as I use it both in landscape and street I am very satisfied with the purchase and I recommend it, to be combined in my opinion with the brother fe 85 f1.8 same design, for light outputs with 2 optics almost everything is done.
Cons:I go against the current, but to me it did not seem so sharp, Eye Af not very precise.
Opinion:I got to use this lens in a controlled studio context: in addition to doing a hair of focus hunting on the eyes with active AF eye I do not seem to have obtained stellar results, but not knowing what the 35 mm are able to churn I can not compare much. it may be convenient to take on holiday but I would prefer the Zeiss 2.8 because it is smaller. to reconnect with Franz Zambotti did not trigger the poem that the 55 1.8 that I love, is able to give me despite all its flaws.
Opinion:I took this lens after giving away the Sony Zeiss 1.4 for the issue of weight and transportability The 35mm 1.8 is built well, light, it is an all-rounder lens suitable for both the Street and groups of people. Great colors, good bokeh, very sharp already at full opening If I have to find a flaw is perhaps to "have no defects", I explain: it did not trigger a "poetic spark" that pleases me in everything as happened with the 55 Sony Zeiss or the 85 1.4 GM, I compare this lens to the FE 85 F1.8: it doesn't have great character, but it's versatile, comfortable, light, well built, and the optical yield is excellent. Very recommended for street and reportage, a thread less for portraits.
Cons:Maybe made overly clinical, You can't want everything but half a stop in more.
Opinion:If I had to choose ONE lens to always go out with would be this, it focuses even in the dark, it is small and excellently balanced on A7III, very sharp already at TA, The quality of the bokeh is great, with a crazy sharpness and a very nice light point rendering. Maybe it's not the perfect optics for the portrait, even if it's great, but for the street and any urban situation it's really a pleasure to use and the results are great.

Pros:Remarkable sharpness, AF speed, very light
Cons:In relation to the price I can't find any
Opinion:I used to very Nikon with the Sigma 35 1.4 and when I bought the sony a7r iv I was in doubt whether to take the sigma again or this. I preferred the sony for the size and speed/reliability of the AF and I do not regret the sigma at all. Of course, one is 1.4 and the other 1.8 but honestly at this focal length for me the difference is not abysmal, especially taking into account the saving of weights and footprints that I have gained. The speed and accuracy of the af is incredible, even in low light I shot without any problem. I absolutely recommend it!
Pros:Absolute sharpness, top-of-class fire speed, parasitic light control, distortion, weight, neutral color rendering, MF control in videos and no focus breathing
Cons:Obviously it's not a monster bokeh, I'm detached from the subject that's there but it's not overbearing. More suited to the street than to portraits... so to speak.
Opinion:(Follows first opinion 28 Sep 2019) If I think that with 500 euros more I would have taken the 35mm 1.4 zeiss FE a little bit comes to think, but the lightness, the sharpness, the feeling of comfort that transmits is very high. For a mirrorless sony is proportionate, the sibling as bright as size I find it exaggerated. Excellent automatic fire, without flaws, pecks 10 out of 10, both in Af-c and af-s (Sony A7III) A lens that you never put in crisis already from f 1.8 and for no light condition. Made first in the class, a little poor in character for its excessive precision, but of course it pays off with images without flaws. If you need something more "romantic" and portrait, then I recommend the 1.4 competition between sigma or samyang (or the sony itself)... If you are a wedding photographer with real spontaneous reportage, with this do not go wrong. I saw a review that said that the sigma was sharper than this at the edges, I deny saying that probably its sony specimen was not perfect because on mine I did not notice any of this. (we update on November 10, 2019) I can confirm the absolute precision of this lens in every way, from photos to video. I use it for events is a reference when I need to go on the safe side. Only micro regret about the fact that it is not a "monster bokeh" but what is there is correct and homogeneous even in the corners.
Pros:Stunning sharpness already in TA, colors, small size, economical compared to the competition, tropicalized, scary with update 3.1 sony a7iii
Cons:For now, nothing
Opinion:I recently bought this lens that immediately gave me a fantastic feeling both the optical yield and really small size, sharpness to say the least amazing, I tried a self portrait and I was able to see the pores of my skin as if they were craters on earth, very natural and beautiful colors. Blurred soft enough, undone
