The Sony E-mount AF 35mm f/1.8 FE from Samyang is a wide-angle prime mixing a lightweight and portable design with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture. It offers an effective spin on a popular focal length. Two extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements are used in the optical design, which helps to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for better clarity, colour accuracy, and sharpness. In order to increase contrast when working in bright lighting conditions, an Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to reduce flare and ghosting. For quick, quiet, and accurate focusing performance, the lens’ linear STM autofocus motor works in tandem with the AF systems of Sony cameras. For more precise control, manual focus override is also an option. Additionally, a Custom Switch enables turning the lens’s focusing ring to make simple adjustments to a number of camera and exposure settings.

• Compact wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.
• Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus.
• Two extra-low dispersion elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color rendering.
• Two aspherical elements control spherical aberrations and distortions for improved sharpness and resolution.
• An Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to individual elements in order to reduce flare and ghosting for increased contrast and a neutral color balance.
• The integrated linear STM autofocus motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras’ focusing systems for quick, quiet, and precise AF control. Manual focus override is also available for refining your focus position.
• Internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length and prevents the front of the lens from rotating during use.
• Custom switch can used for lens-based control over select exposure or shooting functions, such as aperture selection, with additional settings coming via future firmware updates.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• Weather-sealed construction helps protect against dust and moisture.
• Included lens hood helps to block stray light from causing flare and ghosting.
