Overview
A fast, versatile prime for all occasions
Offering outstanding image quality even at its maximum F1.8 aperture, this compact, lightweight 35mm prime lens for full-frame cameras is a versatile choice for everything from tabletop photography to the great outdoors. Fast, precise, quiet AF operation and reliable AF tracking make it suitable for shooting videos as well as stills.Lightweight 35mm prime lens with fast F1.8 aperture
Compact and lightweight with full-frame coverage
Thanks to innovative optical design, this large-aperture lens weighs a mere 280g (9.9oz.) and is just 65.6mm in diameter by 73mm in length. That convenience and mobility come with superb image quality that makes 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 52.5mm 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 right out to the image periphery. Smooth bokeh is also available when needed, supported by a 9-blade circular aperture mechanism that contributes to natural looking highlights. 0.22m (0.73ft.) minimum focus distance and 0.24x maximum magnification make this lens useful for closeups 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 features a focus mode switch that allows instant switching between auto and manual focus. A dust 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 this lens's linear-motor AF drive system ensure fast, precise, quiet autofocus operation. Outstanding AF performance is available not only for stills, but also for movies where "wobbling" is employed for delicate continuous focus control.
Lens Configuration
Impressive optical performance for Sony cameras, precision engineered for versatility and reliability in a wide range of applications.

Full frame, fast, small, and lightweight
Although this fast F1.8 lens weighs a mere 280g (9.9oz.) and is just 65.6mm x 73mm in size, it offers outstanding image quality that makes it a great all-around choice for photography and moviemaking. It is a full-frame lens, but balances well with APS-C bodies, providing an equivalent focal length of 52.5mm that is ideal for portraits and snapshots.

Move in for impressive close-ups
A 0.22m (0.73ft.) minimum focus distance and 0.24x maximum magnification make this lens useful for closeups as well as general photography and moviemaking. High optical performance is maintained at close range, providing the quality needed to create stunning images of tabletop subjects, flowers, and more.
Customisable focus hold button
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 focus hold button can be assigned to display grid lines to aid composition, to adjust white balance, and other functions that support efficient, versatile shooting.
Easy manual/auto focus switching
A focus mode switch that allows instant switching between auto and manual focus modes can be a great advantage when shooting subjects or situations that require fine manual focus adjustment.
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 and moisture resistant design provides the reliability needed for outdoor use in challenging conditions.
