Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM Lens

The Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM lens is a refined wide-angle prime featuring a modern, streamlined design. Renowned for its rapid performance and sophisticated optical construction, this lens offers a versatile focal length ideal for street photography, landscapes, and documentary work. Its large f/1.4 aperture provides excellent low-light capabilities and precise depth-of-field control.

G Master Optical Design

Belonging to Sony's prestigious G Master lineup, this lens delivers an exceptional blend of high resolution and sharpness with smooth, attractive bokeh. It incorporates two extreme aspherical (XA) elements that effectively minimize astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion, and other spherical aberrations, ensuring precise detail and accuracy. An extra-low dispersion element further reduces chromatic aberration and color fringing, enhancing clarity and color fidelity. Additionally, Nano AR Coating II is applied to suppress surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, boosting contrast and color accuracy under challenging lighting. This advanced coating is optimized for larger, curved lens elements and excels at reducing internal reflections.

Wide-Angle Versatility and f/1.4 Speed

The 35mm focal length offers exceptional versatility, making it ideal for street photography, landscapes, and documentary work, while also serving as a compelling option for fashion and portrait photography. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture enhances performance in low-light environments and enables precise depth-of-field control for creative selective focus. The rounded 11-blade diaphragm further enhances the lens's ability to produce smooth, attractive bokeh when employing selective focus techniques.

Fast and Precise Focusing

Equipped with two XD Linear Motors, this lens delivers fast, silent, and accurate autofocus along with effective subject tracking. The motors also facilitate smooth and responsive Linear Response manual focus control, complemented by a conveniently placed AF/MF switch on the barrel for easy toggling. Its internal focusing system ensures rapid focus adjustments while keeping the lens length constant during use. With a minimum focusing distance of 25cm, it enables dynamic close-up shots. Combined with the wide-angle view and bright aperture, the lens allows for creating striking shallow depth-of-field images featuring prominent subjects against softly blurred backgrounds.

Durable and Reliable Design

G Master lenses are renowned not only for their exceptional optics but also for their durable and dependable construction, featuring weather sealing and protective coatings. The 35mm f/1.4 GM stands out among fast wide-angle primes with its compact and lightweight design, measuring 76 x 96mm and weighing just 524 grams. Its dust- and moisture-resistant build supports shooting in challenging environments, while rubberized control rings enhance handling in cold conditions. The fluorine-coated front element repels dust, moisture, and fingerprints, simplifying cleaning. A focus hold button on the barrel provides intuitive control and quick access to settings, and the de-clickable aperture ring enables smooth, silent adjustments ideal for video recording.
