Sony 35mm f/1.8 DT SAM SAL35F18
8 out of 10 points and recommendedLightweight, cheapNoneThis lens is currently on my A77 more than the other lenses at the moment. Its light and has replaced my SAL1650 as my main walkabout lens. I use it mainly for street photography and for those who are familiar with the SAL50F18 lens, it produces very similar quality results but with the 52mm field of view. Good value for money.

Sony 50mm f/1.8 DT SAM SAL-50F18
8 out of 10 points and recommendedCheap, light, nice bokehfor this price, noneThe lens would effectively give you a 75mm focal length on a APS-C camera. It gives beautiful colors and sharpness and the bokeh is good too. At f/1.8 it is a relatively fast lens and pretty good for low light photography. All in all it is good value for money and the plastic does not bother me at all as that makes the lens lighter.
