Looks like the best price it's been. Good reviews…I'm getting it for an Sony a6000 which will crop it a 52mm equivalent focal length. I believe this will also affect maximum aperture. But perhaps I'll upgrade to a full frame some day.

This will be a F1.8 lens on either full frame or crop sensor. What changes with a crop sensor camera is not the focal length or aperture but rather the fraction of the image circle that the sensor covers. The crop sensor covers 1/1.5 or 2/3s of the image that the full frame captures- which is why the crop factor is 1.5 and this lens has the same field of view of a full frame lens 1.5 times longer or 52mm. And the bokeh will approximately equivalent to a lens 1.5 stops slower as crop sensors just dont blur the background like FF

This was the first lens I bought after switching to Sony FF, and I also recommend it. May not have the most solid built, but I like the light weight, optically it is good, f1.8 is fast , and the price is right. Very good normal prime lens.

The brightness will not change but the effect bokeh of the aperture will be 1.8 x 1.5, equivalent to a ~50mm f/2.7 lens with the brightness (exposure) of 1.8 lens. this means it has a wider depth of field compared to a f/1.8 lens on a APSC sensor camera, which also means more will be in focus.

Would you consider this as a good everyday lens? I have an A6000

So 35MM is technically wide angle, although its a pretty standard focal length these days all things considered. Most kit lenses for Sony FF cameras are ~28MM-70MM.

For a prime lense the next path down from 28MM would either be 24MM or 20MM. You can go lower than that, but for an everyday lens my comfort zone is 20MM as you have to work with the lens more 14MM-18MM more with people in frame. (Not the exact lens I am going to reccommed but gives you an idea if you click around video what 20MM looks like with people done well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YdS5xmYxCA [youtu.be] )

24MM gets you wider angle and is still fairly forgiving focal length. If you have a lens that gives you 28MM already, I would go lower than 24MM personally but watch some videos and checkout shots online for your own personal preference.

personally use 20MM as my go to prime lens everyday. You do need to be slightly conscious of shooting people straight on and height as it can distort human features. That being said if you get it right it looks really good!

For lens without breaking the bank I would say the Tamron 20mm f/2.8 di iii . Normally on Amazon for ~$250. The 24MM is on sale for $200 often. The 20MM is really sharp in the center and even does a good job against its Sony competitor which is $850+ ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zMBr20zGo4 ) . The outer edges are fairly distroted but both your camera (I don't remember exact path/page but its menu -> cog -> lens comp -> distortion comp.). Depending on your editing software, such as Lightroom, they may also have a lens profile which auto corrects any distortion and does a great job. Besides that, lens has weather sealing. Biggest complaint you will see in reviews is "Slower autofocus" which isn't a major issue as its a wide angle lens (Its fast enough for photos, if you shoot video maybe checkout videos on that as I don't shoot video). Speed comes into play the more narrow a lens gets. Last other complaint is F stop if you want to do astrophotography. You can still do it with f2.8, just easier the lower the number!

If you want to spend more, Sigma has a 20mm with lower F/1.4 (~$600-$700ish dont quote me on that price) and then Sony has their one around $850ish mark and F1.8 which I know people love that lens.

If you prefer a zoom lens over a prime lens I would let others comment!

Worth the upgrade from their 35mm 2.8 to the 1.8? Bought the 2.8 about 4 years ago for the same price as this now.

Good stuff. I wish some of the Sigma lenses like the 30mm were on sale for $229 again. I have one but it took a big drop and I've been after a replacement. This looks very good but the resale or trade value isn't as good as Sigma.

I personally have the 24 1.4 lens. So I am skipping this even though quite a nice deal. But I can use my FF camera in APSC mode to get 40mm of effective FL

I have this for my a7iii and the quality is on par with the $$$ lenses in 99% conditions. An easy choice if you are looking to build an affordable prime kit.

Aperture is also multiplied by the crop factor of the sensor to get the usable aperture of the lens. It won't be read that way by the camera, but iso will behave accordingly.
