At $399, this might be the most-bokeh-for-your buck lens available without opting for something that only has manual focus. The one downside is that chromatic aberration can be a little heavy, but probably not enough to make you want to spend more on the Sony. You can check out my review here. It's sharp, autofocus is excellent, and it is a significant upgrade over other "tiny" lenses from Samyang, as it has weather sealing. It’s not clear when it will hit shelves (hopefully in the month or two), but the AF 35mm f/1.8 from Samyang is a stellar piece of glass and comes in at under $400.
Sony finally pulled its finger out by releasing a lens that felt a touch high in price ($748), and now Samyang/Rokinon, has produced something that makes the Sony seem even more expensive. Until last year, there was a gaping chasm in Sony’s lens lineup: the system lacked a 35mm f/1.8.
Here’s a list of my recommendations if you’re pondering a new prime lens but don’t want to spend a huge amount of money. In addition, third-party lenses are often smaller and lighter, and with the Sony a7C about to hit the shelves, even more, customers will be looking for glass that matches the diminutive size of their body. Companies such as Sigma, Samyang, and Tamron have plugged a few of the gaps left in Sony’s own lineup, as well as producing a number of lenses that perform better than their expensive Sony counterparts. Third-party manufacturers make Sony’s mirrorless cameras an appealing system for photographers on a tight budget thanks to the wide variety of lenses available.
