What are the alternatives to the sony e 35mm f 1 8 oss?

The Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS page only lists the cameras it fits, so it doesn't give me a set of rival lenses to choose from. The closest option on the site is the Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS, an APS-C prime with a longer, more portrait-friendly view. My portraits guide says a 50mm on APS-C behaves like a classic 75-80mm portrait lens, so it's a real step up if you mostly shoot people.

If you want to stay in the 35mm range, the lenses guide points to 33-35mm f/1.4 to f/1.8 primes as the usual APS-C pick for low light, people and food. The portraits guide also mentions a 56mm f/1.2 to f/1.4 as the APS-C stand-in for an 85mm, which is worth a look if your subjects are further away.
