As a wedding and commercial photographer, I’ve been using this lens in a professional setting for a few years now and I’ve taken tens of thousands of photos with it, in all sorts of situations. Now it’s time to hear my take.

I was looking for some information on this lens as i was considering this or the Sony 1.4. I found (by accident) that you had made a video about it. Perfect!
You are by far my most favorite gear/photography youtuber. Your videos are super pleasant, to the point with filled with useful information. What really tick the boxes for me is that your not sponsored and not trying to peddle something. You should really make a lot more of these videos! I just love them.
An update version with a button for AF on/off will be nice, aperture ring will be very nice, maybe a GM version !?
which one is sharper … zeiss 55 f1.8 or Sony fe 35mm f1.8 … please answer … thank you
Between all the reviewers that shoot flat sharpness charts, run down spec sheets or just plainly talk too much, you have some of the most well rounded lens reviews out there. Honest, and relevant to the actual profession of photography.
Agreed on the caracter of the 55 – it has all the "modern" sharpness while retaining the "legacy" character. I'd say that justifies the price going up – many of the modern high end lenses today are 'over'-corrected to prevent sharpness falloff due to chromatic abberation, giving good but kind of clinical images.
Nice review! I got this lens with my new A73 and absolutely love with its sharpness.
However I have noticed an aperture noise when turning on/off the camera. Have you noticed it before? Or is it normal?
Man, this is the first video of yours I've watched. I will not be watching any others. You just sound indifferent and negative. Even when you say something technically positive, you use tend to use grammar that mutes any positivity.
Man I like your style, you got my sub!
I'm not a huge fan of lenses around this focal length though so as this lens really does hold its value used i've not picked one up yet as even though the images look really good I would not use it often enough. Nice review, love that easy going style.
Have you had any issues with you? Ive heard the auto focus fails in some of these because of the older design. Check out this article:

Let me know what you think and how your long term ownership has been
What about the Planar?, for your review I was about to buy the 35 1.4, but due the recently launched 1.8 I went for that one. Well, if you are planning to review the planar, it will be very welcome 🙂
One of the best lenses I ever had. If I need a shot on an important moment I can not afford to miss, I grab this lens. Fast, accurate, super reliable and Zeiss sharp. It truelly is a winner.
Do you think it's worth buying it for 500 usd used but in excellent condition?
Nice review! 👍🏻
I got the sony 35mm 1.8 and the 85 1.8, still can't decide if I should get this 1, it is a fantastic lens no questions about it, but having those 2 lenses, do I really need a 55mm focal lenth? This question is killing me lol
Great Video…. how about FE 35f1.8 🙂
I have wanted to buy this lens for awhile now. Waiting for it to go on sale, but it never does.
hey wes im thinking about returning my 35mm. i have this lens on the way bought for 630. does it make sense to have a 35 and 55 since there close in focal range its just a few steps back but i know the compression is different
I think this lens is better value if you pick it up used. I just bought mine to replace my sigma 50mm 1.4 art. Paid $625 on eBay for one in immaculate condition.
For me , the 50 mm isn't suited . So I will mostly use my kit lens if I use that focal length. I love the range of 35 and 85 , so I got the primes for that range. But this is a fantastic lens.
I found this review really helpful and well structured with a lot of relevant information. I have recently switched to the Sony full frame system from Fuji. Sold all my lenses. Felt that I would be happy with just the Sony 24 to 105 mm but decided it was just too big to walk around with all day. So I have just bought the 55 as well. Looking forward to trying it out at a friend’s 40th party. I am wondering, though, whether, because of its fact that it is now quite an old lens, I should have bought the 35mm. A depleted camera bag is making me feel uneasy and the choices that need to be made without re-mortgaging the house are overwhelming. Ha ha
I think all this Je nais sais quoi you mentiones is the Microcontrast. I'm wondering if I should sell my voigtlander nokton 50 mm 1.5 for this. I'm happy with it,…just that I need the techart pro for af, and of course…isn't as fast.
annoying bg music
I love the little joker but however I would like the 55 or 50 in 1.2. C’mon Sony do it then us give us the 85 1.2
My first prime lens I bought about 4 years ago and it is still my favorite lens in my collection.
Great review and I totally agree with what you said. I've had this lens for almost 2 years and this always ends up in my camera bag wherever I go. Best thing about the lens is the character.
Dude your video is hurting my eye
Anw nice review
One major problem with these lens is the minimum focusing distance needed. I was a bit disappointed not able to go near a subject and able to focus. Unlike my sigma 50 art, even old 85 1.8 afs Nikon can focus much closer
Did you ever try Mitakon 50mm f 0.95?
Your reviews are extremely entertaining and well done. I own this lens. Your description is dead on accurate to mine. I love the lens. It has a special look.
Great videos man. Do you do workshops teaching photography?
Loving your videos! Could you do one for the Tamron 28-75?
I bought mine on June 19, 2015. I'm sorry you made me look that up because I see I paid $758 USD for it. Ouch! Ah, well. I still have it and absolutely love it. Now don't make me look up what I paid for my Zeiss 35mm f2.8, the other Sony diminutive overachiever.
The first full frame mirrorless lens I bought. Have it few years now and love it. So sharp
Enjoyed your review, Wes. I bought the 55 f1.8 along with my Sony a7iii back in August even though I had the kit lens to get me started . Although it seemed like a lot of money for a prime, I haven't regretted picking it up.
Rock solid entertainment. You’ve got a way …
I love the 55mm/1.8. While it’s a bit of a misnomer in terms of focal length, the optical quality and size are great. I think the best uses of this lens are environmental portraits and small group shots of maybe 2-3 people. Either way, it’s like you said: it just has that special quality to it!
