Review: Sony 35mm f1.8 OSS (Sony NEX E Mount) - The Phoblographer

The Sony 35mm f1.8 OSS is the company's second image stabilized prime lens for their NEX camera system. It bears all the looks of what a Sony/Zeiss lens should be, but it indeed is not. On the NEX camera system, this lens renders a near 50mm field of view. The lens also completes Sony's line of major needed lenses with the 24mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.8 OSS being the other two major fast primes for the system.
