Product details
The classic wide-angle lens with a refined, sleek design, the Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM stands out for its speed and relatively compact form factor. Its versatile focal length is suitable for everything from street photography to landscapes and documentary work, while its fast maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and allows for precise depth of field control. It features an advanced optical design that delivers well-corrected images with high sharpness and clarity.
Two XA (eXtreme Aspherical) elements and one extra-low dispersion element help reduce aberrations, color fringing, and distortions, while the optics are further enhanced by a Nano AR II coating, which suppresses flare and ghosting to improve contrast. Balancing the optics is an XD Linear Motor system, which employs two separate focus motors for exceptionally quiet, precise, and fast autofocus performance. The lens is also dust- and moisture-resistant, with a fluorine-coated front element to facilitate shooting in harsh conditions.
This G Master series lens from Sony is designed to achieve exceptionally high resolution and sharpness by correcting a wide range of spherical and chromatic aberrations. Additionally, these lenses feature a durable and intuitive physical design, making them suitable for both photography and cinematography. The 35mm wide-angle lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras; however, it can also be used with APS-C models, where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length. The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows for working in challenging lighting conditions and offers greater depth of field control. Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements are included in the optical design and feature superior surface accuracy to effectively control astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion, and other spherical aberrations, ensuring high sharpness and accurate rendering. The lens design incorporates one extra-low dispersion element to help minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, improving clarity and color neutrality. Nano AR Coating II is applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color fidelity in strong lighting conditions. This updated coating is especially effective for minimizing internal reflections on large, curved elements. Two XD linear motors, along with an internal focusing design, provide fast, silent, and precise autofocus performance. This design also supports a more natural, intuitive manual focusing experience with Linear Response MF, and an AF/MF switch on the lens barrel allows for tactile control over this setting. A focus hold button is positioned on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and quick access to selected settings. The physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching, enhancing its use in video applications. The dust- and moisture-resistant construction makes it more suitable for use in harsh conditions, while rubberized control rings allow for easier operation in lower temperatures. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels dust, moisture, and fingerprints, making it easy to clean. A rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when using selective focus techniques.
