With fast autofocus, a great build and the ability to capture very sharp images at even its widest aperture, this is a stellar addition to the FE lineup.

- Very fast autofocus
- Excellent sharpness – even at f/1.8
- Generally pleasing defocused areas
Cons:
- Some longitudinal chromatic aberration
- Vignetting at wider apertures
- Not cheap for such a lens

Sony FE 35mm F1.8 Full Frame Lens - Brand New review
What it all boils down to is this lens’ potential to offer name-brand reliability versus its competition, in a portable package. While I was doing initial testing with this lens at Sony’s 2019 Kando Trip event, the thing that stuck out to me the most was indeed not flawless GM-class image quality,...

Sony FE 35mm F1.8 Review
The Sony FE 35mm F1.8 is one of Sony's most versatile primes, worthy of serious consideration by all Sony full-frame shooters who desire high quality in a small, lightweight package. Autofocus is swift, and it's extremely sharp wide open. The lens renders out-of-focus areas very smoothly, but purple and green fringing can be an issue in high contrast situations.
Pros:
- Portrait and low light shooters that need tack sharp images wide open, videographers, and those that require fast autofocus
Cons:
- Portrait photographers shooting in high contrast light where chromatic aberration may be distracting, and astrophotographers

All I ever really wanted was a Sony 35mm f1.8 FE lens–and I never thought they'd make one. But when I received a call last week about testing a product not yet announced, I was quite shocked. The company has its 35mm f2.8 FE and a 35mm f1.4 FE lenses; both are quite good in their own respects.

Sony FE 35mm f1.8 review
In my tests the Sony FE 35mm f1.8 left a very good impression: It is pretty sharp across the full-frame sensor, has a nice Bokeh, and can be shot confidently under adverse contra-light situations.
Pros:
- Very good resolution at normal distances
- Very good contrast under contra-light situations
- Good close-up performance
- Weather sealing against moist and dust
- Fast and reliable AF operation
- Focus hold button
Cons:
- Coma not well controlled
- Field-curvature makes APS-C-corner soft
