Description
The fast and compact FE 35mm f/1.8 Lens from Sonyprovides a versatile wide-angle solution for your full-frame E-mount camera. It boasts a maximum aperture of f/1.8 for selective focus effects and for working in low-light conditions. To help ensure high-quality imaging in a range of conditions, the lens’ aspherical element reduces aberrations and field curvature while maintaining contrast and edge-to-edge sharpness. For fast, responsive focusing, the 35mm uses a linear motor and internal focus design, while a customizable focus hold button locks focus when recomposing and can be set to activate other functions, including Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview, or Bright Monitoring among others. Also, this lens has a dust- and moisture-resistant construction that will permit operation in less-than-ideal weather conditions. Additionally, it has a nine-blade circular diaphragm for smooth bokeh.

Compact and lightweight with full-frame coverage
Thanks to innovative optical design, this large-aperture lens weighs a mere 280 g (9.9 oz) and is just 65.6 mm in diameter by 73 mm in length. Convenience and mobility come with superb image quality, making it a great all-around choice for stills and movies. It is a full-frame lens, but also balances well with APS-C bodies, providing an equivalent focal length of 52.5 mm that is ideal for portraits and snapshots.
High corner-to-corner resolution from the widest aperture
An aspherical element is strategically implemented in this lens’s advanced design to suppress optical aberration and achieve high resolution out to the image periphery. Smooth bokeh is also available when needed, supported by a nine-blade circular aperture mechanism that contributes to natural looking highlights. 0.22-m (0.73-ft) minimum focus distance and 0.24x maximum magnification make this lens useful for close-ups too.
Versatile and reliable for a range of shooting situations
A conveniently placed focus hold button not only offers easy focus hold control, but can be assigned to a variety of other functions from a menu accessed via the camera body. The lens also has a focus mode switch that allows instant switching between auto and manual focus. A dust-resistant and moisture-resistant design ensures maximum reliability in challenging shooting environments.
Quiet, reliable AF tracking for movies as well as stills
The narrow depth of field available at a wide F1.8 aperture makes focus critical. The fast response and high precision of the lens’s linear-motor AF drive system ensure fast, precise, quiet auto focus operation. Outstanding AF performance is available not only for stills, but also for movies where “wobbling” is employed for delicate continuous focus control.
Natural, linear manual focus response
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise.
Dust and moisture resistant design
A dust-resistant and moisture-resistant design provides the reliability needed for outdoor use in challenging conditions.
