The Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Distagon is a full-frame E-mount lens designed for the Sony a7-series cameras.

Full Frame E-mount. As a part of the FE line of lenses, the 35mm f/1.4 is designed to cover the Sony a7-series cameras full-frame sensors. Since it’s an E-mount lens, it’s also fully compatible with APS-C NEX cameras.

Moderately Wide Angle. When used on a full-frame camera, this lens provides a moderately wide focal length that’s great for landscape, street, and portrait photography. With an APS-C sensor camera, you’ll have a normal range focal length of about 53mm. The fast f/1.4 aperture enables great low-light shooting and shallow depth-of-field control.

Direct-Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor Autofocus System. This internal-focusing system uses piezoelectric elements oscillating at ultrasonic frequencies to provide fast, highly accurate, and nearly silent autofocus performance that’s great for still and video use.

Advanced Optics. The FE 35mm f/1.4 uses a total of four aspherical elements to minimize spherical aberrations while reducing the lens’s size and weight. The Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating eliminates lens flare and ghosting while providing the famous high micro-contrast Zeiss look. The lens’s rounded nine-blade aperture diaphragm gives images smooth out-of-focus areas when you desire a shallow depth of field.

High Build Quality. Like the Sony a7-series cameras, the FE 35mm offers dust- and moisture-resistant sealing for use in less-than-ideal conditions. The all-metal barrel and smooth, responsive manual-focus ring give this lens a solid feel. The manual aperture ring allows you to disengage click stops for smooth aperture adjustment when shooting video.
