    Product Description

    Product Description

    Items have not yet been released. So information is still TBD. Sending NIS to create Asin's to go live at mfg's annoucment.

    From the Manufacturer

    E 35mm F1.8 OSS Prime Lens

    High performance and a compact design make the SEL-35F18 an ideal “second lens” that is easy to carry around when capturing the action. It’s ideal for a wide variety of photos, including snapshots while strolling, night shots (thanks to the bright maximum aperture) and portraits with superb background/foreground blur.

    Technology

    Circular Aperture

    When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.

    ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass

    As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration.

    Aspherical lens elements

    Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality.

    Lens-based optical image stabilization

    Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills.

    Additional Features

    Internal focusing

    Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter.

    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the lens. They mention that it produces very good quality images, is nice and compact, and is able to take nice portraits. It's also great for taking photos of small objects, such as stones, coins, jewelry, and insects. The lens is fantastic, simple to use, and very affordable. It performs equally sharply at all apertures, unlike many zooms.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Weird little lens
    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023
    It's a fun little lens to use, but the 30mm focal length can make it very challenging. In order to get 1:1 magnification you need to be about 2cm from your subject Wich makes it challenging to light and very difficult to photograph live subjects. However once you do figure it out it produces some very nice images and is very sharp in the center.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly fun
    Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2020
    I bought this lens for macro photos, but as it turns out I use it for photos of trees and bridges (First pic). It works almost like a fisheye lens without the fisheye effect. The lens is quite slow, so when taking a macro shot I highly recommend using a tripod as any vibration, such as your pulse rate, will blur the subject you are focussing on. It is most definitely a fun lens to play with, especially when there is plenty of light. I use it on a Sony cx6000.
