maybe you can try on these NEX feature:
- if you using cont shooting and auto focus on moving object, the AF mode can turn to Continuous AF (you can find it at Setting-> Camera -> Autofocus Mode)
- use Object Tracking and track on model face (Setting-> Camera -> Object Tracking)
- when use nex Digital Zoom, no matter how many X, then the autofocus will becum cacat abit.....is time to manual focus since NEX with peaking mode

to made sure you focusing is more accurate

and of coz....
if you have a F1.8 or wider lens will be more better

do you set your camera to manual focus mode?
if yes, hav try other lens for the manual focus see it work or not?
if it work.......then sad case adi...

....you need to claim warranty for ur sel1018

don't compare for the IQ, just look for some simple usage compare between 2 lens.

1st, if you have enuf budget for SEL35mm,
- and if you really really really really like 30-35mm FL and muz is a prime lens, then juz go for it, juz forget about Sigma30mm

2nd, for the usage ability, SEL35mm max aperture is F1.8, Sigma only F2.8, so SEL35mm WIN. Although you don always wide open, but when you need it, then you appreciate.

3rd, built quality, like other NEX lens, SEL35mm was built solid and nice. Sigma 30mm built quality just so so only (the comment is base on old version Sigma 30mm lens, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/8449...2_8_EX_DN.html)

4th, focus speed, for normal photo shooting actually can't feel the different, but when come to low light, SEL35mm win becoz of F1.8. And when focusing, Sigma 30mm is more noisy than SEL35mm.

5th, focal length, 30mm vs 35mm, which 1 you more prefer?


so, Summary:
Sigma 30mm - cheap, super sharp image, built quality so so, max aperture F2.8, wide FL, performance is superb for the price range
SEL35mm - not cheap at all, not much review for this lens, but it was great, well built quality, max aperture F1.8, arrow FL, standard performance base on the price


btw, i go Sigma 30mm becoz:
- cheap, really cheap, budget saving (save alot man)~
- I hav a 50mmF1.8
- i just need a lens to replace my sel1855 for normal daily photo shooting (30-35mm FL)
- The IQ is superb for this sigma 30mm, like a cili padi, small but HOT~ I think so far no other lens can fight within these price range.
- Sigma 30mm is more wide, i prefer this

Depends on what you looking for:
- zoom lens (16-50) is more on flexibility, can zoom in zoom out, almost all kind of scene can settle with it, a very GENERAL lens
- prime lens (30mm) is more on image quality, bokeh, large aperture, specify usage (30mm is useful for street photography and indoor portrait)

if just can choose either 16-50mm and 30mm for travel, i choose 16-50
- landscape, portrait, food, street, building, indoor, outdoor, 1 lens settle it all
- low light? juz use NEX 6 built in pop-up flash, settle

not sure what really different the new sigma 30mm, the lens still under pre-order status, dun hav any review for comparison yet....

emm..not to be say pro or not pro....

The formula is:
you buy it, you use it, you like it, you worth it

sound easy but not easy~

Forgot about 5N and F3, just go for NEX-3N.
