First Impressions: Sony 35mm f1.8 OSS (NEX E-Mount)

This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer

One of the major complaints about the Sony NEX camera system was that there weren’t enough good lenses. While that has been true for a while, the system now enjoys a very good 24mm f1.8, 50mm f1.8, 30mm f3.5 Macro and the brand spankin’ new 35mm f1.8 OSS. This is the company’s first prime lens to feature their optical stabilization system. On the APS-C sized sensor, it renders a 52mm field of view.

We’ve been using it with the NEX 5r for a little while–the successor to the very good 5n. So does it stay up to par with its sisters?
