Sony FE 35mm F1.8 large aperture full - frame E - mount prime lens

The compact and light weight, large-aperture prime lens is ideal for full-frame and APS-C cameras and provide mobility and convenience for shooting a wide range of subjects from everyday snapshots, food photography, landscapes, night scenes and more. It provides outstanding corner-to-corner image quality and beautiful bokeh, while its quiet autofocus and tenacious tracking performance make it a great choice for both stills and movie shooting.

Features

9 blade

Large F1.8 maximum aperture

The 35mm focal length is a perfect choice for everyday snapshots, food photography, landscapes, night scenes and more as the maximum F1.8 aperture opens up a world of beautiful prime-lens bokeh. The large F1.8 maximum aperture enables beautiful defocusing effects and enables massive amount of light for low-light or dimly lit shooting scenarios.

9-blade circular aperture

The 9-blade circular aperture maximizes the beauty captured by this large-aperture prime-lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused background bokeh as well as naturally rendered points of defocused light.

Refined optical performance

The refined optical design includes an aspheric glass element which dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Field curvature is carefully corrected by this specially shaped aspherical lens to restore alignment of light rays at the image plane. Superior contrast is maintained across the entire image, even at large aperture settings, resulting in corner-to-corner sharpness.

Compact and lightweight

Weighing in at only 9.9 oz. (280g) and measuring a mere Φ 2.58” x 2.87“ (Φ65.6mm x 73mm), the 35mm F1.8 is an ideal compact and lightweight everyday lens. Additionally, its compact dimensions make it an appealing choice for both Full-frame as well as APS-C bodies, offering a 52.5mm equivalent focal length on APS-C cameras.

Customizable focus hold button

The focus hold button not only performs its primary function to lock focus when recomposing, but can be customized to a number of other functions depending on your needs. In addition to Focus Hold, these custom functions include: Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview or Bright Monitoring among others.

8.66” min. focus distance

Features

AF/MF switch

A direct AF/MF switch on the lens barrel conveniently allows for fast selection between autofocus or manual focus without having to access any menus.

Linear Response Manual Focus

Linear Response manual focus (MF) allows for fine, responsive Manual Focus control, especially needed when shooting fine detail, close-up images or pulling critical focus while shooting in movie mode. Linear Response Manual Focus delivers predictable and repeatable manual focus control.

Dust and moisture resistant for robust reliability

The dust and moisture resistant1 design makes this lens appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather resistant measures.

    This lens is the perfect combination of size to quality and price ratio. It might be my favorite lens I’ve ever used. It’s super sharp even at 1.8, has great shallow depth of field when you want it, focuses instantly and accurately, and also can focus pretty close too which I find helpful.The only thing that would make it perfect is adding a weather sealing gasket on the mount, but can’t win every single battle I guess.

    This is Harry typing, not Mary.

    This lens is freaking awesome, light, sharp and fast focus!!

    What I love about it:
    Its a really light and compact 35 mm lens. Very easy to carry around with you and not heavy on the hands. It produced very sharp photos, not as sharp as the G-master 85 mm or the Zeiss 55 mm, but close enough to it. It has great durability as everything is metal so you best be careful not to lay this lens down on cement or any surface that will scratch it. The autofocusing on this lens is insanely fast especially with eye-autofocus keeping focus on your subject right away.

    The other big reason why i bought this lens is for videography. Once again, crystal sharp videos and insane fast autofocus. It picks up the subjects face right away even on my Sony a7S ii that uses phase contract focus detection. And its a good for gimbals since i record events, i do need a lens that can capture a lot of light without raising the ISO too much, this lens is perfect for it. Its not too heavy on the gimbal and does great recording in low light settings.

    What I dislike about it:
    Would definitely love it to be f/1.4 but hey, that means another $300 more to reach that aperture. No Optical Steady Shot (OSS) but that means another $300 added or basically its almost not needed for a 35 mm.

    Overall, i chose this lens over the sigma art DG 35 mm f/1.4 lens because it is lighter and built for sony mirrorless cameas. I do love sigma lenses as well but i recommend you all wait til Sigma releases an actually 35 mm lens designed for mirrorless cameras. Sigma usually labels their mirrorless camera lenses as DN and not DG.

    And if you need more convincing about this Sony 35 mm lens, I recommend you to watch Gerald Undone's Sony 35 mm video about this lens on youtube. He goes into full details about it and definitely recommends it as well.

    So far, this lens has been the one attached the most to my Sony A7iii Camera when I have lens ranging from 20mm to 400mm. Just a great focal length for family get-togethers and street photography.

    Lens is very fast, great in low-light situations, quiet, extremely compact, and lightweight. Photos are amazingly sharp and the Bokeh is quite pleasing, better than I was anticipating.

    If you are looking for a one size fits all prime, I would use this over a nifty-fifty. With today's high resolution cameras and post-processing software, you can always crop to get the results of a 50mm lens, but you cannot use a 50mm to get the extra width of the 35mm.

    A little bit pricey especially when comparing to the Sony FE 85mm 1.8 prime. Build quality is mediocre and could be a little better, but the light weight and compactness makes up for it.

The price being $650 is a good price! You can spend hundreds more on a 35mm f1.4 but all you're getting is slightly better low light, barely any more bokeh, and a heavier lens.

    Cons: I can honestly think of nothing as a con

    I am writing this review after returning this and getting the 35 GM from Adorama. Although the image quality of GM is superior I feel that for video it is a very good lens and definitely worth the $650. The GM has terrible focus breathing. Also check the 24 and 40mm G lenses when buying this. They are newer and from what I have heard better auto focus performance and Sony G image quality. This is a good prime lens for zoom lens users who want to get a prime lens feel. 35 mm you can use for landscape, portraits, product photography and video.

    I’ve only taken this for a spin twice since I’ve received it, but I am happy with the sharpness and focus speed. I think, for the price, the build quality could be better; the Zeiss 55mm just feels so much more solid. I do think it’s a bit overpriced, but I’ve been looking for a small 35mm for some time, so I jumped on this lens.

    The good:
    1) Video AND stills autofocus performance is just as good as the Sony GM lenses, especially on the newer Sony cameras.
    2) Compact and lightweight form factor! Easy to travel with.
    3) Very high quality optical performance. Very sharp wide open. Well controlled CA and flaring. Quick, responsive and accurate autofocus even in challenging scenarios.
    4) Reasonably high build quality. The barrel and focusing ring feel all metal. The lens hood is a well finished and sturdy plastic.
    5) Weather sealing is good! It can withstand rain. Just exercise common sense and don't dunk it in water or leave it out in a heavy downpour.
    6) Custom control button on the side of the barrel is great for mapping additional functions.

    The bad:
    1) Only has a focusing ring. No aperture ring on this one.
    2) Not as fast as 1.4 Primes in this price range.
    3) Not exactly cheap for a 35mm prime, but not a bank breaker either.
    4) No OSS, that might be a consideration for Sony cameras that don't have IBIS.

    This lens is superb! I like the very sharp image, rapid autofocus, and moderate weight. I recommend it as a much better choice that the (also superb) Sony 35mm f1.4 which is too heavy and not worth the cost and weight to gain a tiny increase in aperture.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un lente que tiene que estar en tu maleta

    Es un lente que tienes que estar en tu arsenal, es un lente muy versátil, tanto para hacer tomas o fotos narrativas por su amplitud y si quieres hacer retrato también funciona bien, en mi caso lo compre porque hago video y no tiene "focus breathing" y esto es muy importante, ya que tengo una Sony A7III que no compensa eso.

    Es muy ligero y eso cuenta para el peso que de a poco le agregas a tu espalda, es también discreto. Y en temporada de ofertas lo puedes encontrar en buen precio.

    This lens is incredible. It's so sharp, it has ZERO focus breathing, and is tiny and light. It's 100/100 for video and 90/100 for photography. The GM 35mm is 90/100 for video and 100/100 for photography. The difference? Only the massive difference in price. If money is no object then only buy the GM if you're obsessed with the little red logo on your lens. This is just as good. If you're not with an unlimited budget then this is a no brainer. Buy this lens with confidence. It's a must buy.

     I replaced my kt lnes of my Sony A7C with this one. This lens gives you sharp photos and videos. Great in low light conditions with it’s 1.8 aperture. If you are just starting in photography/videography, this prime lens is a must. It can do a lot for you. All of my videographer friends use this and the result it gives is high quality.

    Autofocus is very smooth. Compare it to other 35mm lens, this would be a steal with its price and quality.
