---|---|---|
Large F1.8 maximum apertureThe 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 apertureThe 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 performanceThe 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 lightweightWeighing 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 buttonThe 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. |

Cons: I can honestly think of nothing as a con
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.
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.

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.
