This Neewer lens worked great for me for a while, it's cheap and fast. I now own 2 sigmas , the 30mm and the 56mm so I can compare them against the Neewer lens. The Neewer produces great results although its definitely not as sharp as the Sigmas, but overall for $80 bucks you get nice bokeh and a nice prime. In my opinion the only problem with this lens is that it's manual focus only, but with focus peaking for photos you get nice enough results.

You can actually see some photos from users on Amazon in the reviews! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FM5MY9C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A25BIGUW7MK12R Neat function of that site.
Im looking to get a backup camera to carry daily instead of my FF Nikon DSLR(Which is perfect for dedicated shoots but just too big to carry around day to day, which results in me losing a lot of shots, that are otherwise brilliant). I was almost completely set on asking for the RX100 III, however looking at the price more, even to buy it used, to get it not good it would cost more than getting the A6000 with kit lens on Amazon. The A6000 is 500$ with kit lens. Again this would not be a kit replacement, this would be a backup so, I am fine with getting the A6000 for 500$, its just a bit larger than what I had wanted. Do you think the A6000 is better enough than the RX100 III that it would be okay dealing with it being in a backpack or coat pocket, instead of pants pocket. I could also just get the body and then get maybe a pancake if there are any good ones. I saw a manual focus one for only 99$ and it is a 30mm focus length so this would end up being around 50mm on APSC.

Here is the lens I bought. I absolutely love it. It has a heft to it so you feel like you’re using a really premium product.
And thank you!
Neewer buy cheap, print their brand on, and sell for a very slight premium. If you can work out what it is they've rebranded it'll give a better idea of the quality.
This lens in particular looks like a rebranded Meike 35mm which I've actually got one of on EF-M mount.
I'm about 95% sure that the Neweer branding on their amazon pack shot is photoshopped on... I bet you that you can peel a label off the front of that lens and it'll have the meike brand on.
In my experience, it's actually a fairly decent lens. Little soft round the edges, but nice bokeh and an unclicked aperture, I've got some casual use out of it.
I'd imagine with a lens this cheap though there will be a lot of variation from lens to lens though...
I didn't pay $80 for it though... more like $60 direct from China.
On the other hand, did a complex job where we needed like 30 lav mics to be used by school kids. Bought Neewer ones for ~$5 each so they could be disposable and they actually had fairly decent reviews. Half were dead on arrival.
If you don't mind all manual, I bought this Neewer 35mm f1.7 years ago and fucking love it. I have dropped this thing several times with no cracks or anything. built like a tank, 70$. Beautiful bokeh, sharp images.
Although with the crop I think it's closer to 50mm.
