I do not have the Sony 35/1.8 OSS to compare it to, so I can't speak to that. But for most day-to-day subjects, "street photography", and for low-light situations, it is truly ideal for me. If I were doing a lot of true landscape photography, I might want something more uniform across the frame (like say the Sigma 30/2.8 Art, which I also have but hardly ever use now). While there may be a bit of distortion and/or curvature of field, the former is easily correctable and that latter does not seem to affect my general type of shooting. It is impressively sharp and its wide f/1.4 aperture makes it very versatile.

This blog is pretty much my day job now and I work to bring you my own take on photography, both tutorials and tips, as well as inspiration from my own art. I’ve also processed these in Lightroom as normal, so I used VSCO on some of them. The people who asked about what I use, did so in the context of street photography, so that’s what I wanted to show. These aren’t done as “samples” and I tried to just shoot as normal, so they’re not for examining in microscopic detail. They’re not perfect, but for the price, you get a great set of lenses.īelow are some of the images that I shot in the video. If you’re starting out, and you have just bought a second hand, or even new A6000 (or any other one of the A6K series of cameras) and are looking for a cheap set of lenses, then I can’t recommend these two enough. It probably isn’t quite as good as the 30mm and it does have a small amount of distortion (which is corrected automatically in camera) but again, for the price, you can’t really complain. The 19mm, which is a 28mm equivalent on full frame, is another great inexpensive lens. The 30mm focal length is equivalent to 45mm on a full frame, so it’s not quite a 50mm. It currently retails for $169 and the quality is really good for that price, if you can live with the relatively slow maximum aperture. Sigma has recently (well, recently since I git these) release a 30mm f/1.4 which I would love to try, as it gets great reviews, but the thing about the 30mm f/2.8 is that it’s really, really cheap for what it is. While I have the older versions of these lenses, the current models should be more or less the same internally.
