Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 lens

Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 lens

If you don't need more light power, this Sony 35mm F1.8 is a very good combination of good image quality, focusing speed, and the size is still compact and the weight is less than half of the F1.4 versions. Kameraliike.fi recommends!

The Sony FE 35 is a lightweight, fast, wide-angle lens that offers great image quality. The lens weighs just 281 grams and has a very reasonable 55mm filter thread diameter. Thanks to its light weight and center of gravity, the lens is great for video production with a gimbal stabilizer and as a general-purpose lens for traveling.

Although the Sony FE 35mm is designed for full-frame cameras, it is also a good choice for users of the Sony A6500, for example, as the equivalent focal length is 52.5mm and functionality is guaranteed if you later switch to a full-frame body.

The Sony 35mm F1.8 features a very fast autofocus, with a modern Sony body the focus latches onto the subject and keeps the focus in the right place even when moving. In addition to the speed, the focus is different from extraneous noise and is great for video shooting. The lens has a Focus Hold button for locking the focus or, for example, activating EyeAF.

The lens has a large, tactile focus ring, and manual focus adjustment is possible even when using autofocus. In addition to the focus ring, the lens has an aperture ring.

The Sony 35mm F1.8 is dust and weatherproof.
