A 50mm apsc lens will be 75mm FOV even if it was designed for the smaller sensor. This is a good lens and a great price. My daughter uses it in her a6600 and I use it on my A9.

This lens is worth it. Their 24mm is on par with the Sony 24mm GM.

Got this one for nikon a couple years ago. It's a great basic wide angle lens.

A good budget 35mm for my a7. Only real complaint is that Face AF/Eye AF isn't as reliable as my native 24-105.

I got a 35mm 2.8. Great lens but AF is so slow and not sharp.

Great price. I went Sony for the closer minimum focus distance, but if you don't care about that, this is great buy. These are sharp, but a little cooler in color.

I already have a 30mm f1.4 Aps-c lens. If I attach this FF lens to my Aps-c camera, will the effective focal length be similar to my 30mm aps-c lens or will it be the equivalent of 52mm Aps-c lens?

APS-C is 1.5x
So 35 * 1.5x = 52.5mm FOV.

52mm APS-C lens = 52 * 1.5x FOV.

So in summary, will this lens have a similar FOV to my existing lens or very different when used on my Aps-c camera? Sorry I'm very new to all of this. Thanks for your help.

It will be similar to what you have. 52.5mm vs 45mm. Making it a standard lens. This lens has a good review tho.
