Our take on the Sony FE 35mm F1.8 Large Aperture Full-Frame E-Mount Prime Lens - SEL35F18F

The Sony FE 35mm F1.8 is a compact full-frame E-mount prime with a bright F1.8 aperture and a 9-blade circular diaphragm for smooth background blur. It uses a linear-motor autofocus that is fast, quiet and tracks well, and it focuses down to 8.66 inches at 0.24x magnification. It suits street, travel, food and low-light shooters who want a small, light 35mm on full-frame or APS-C bodies. Against Sony's pricier 35mm F1.4 it gives up some speed and bokeh but is far smaller and lighter, and against the older 35mm F2.8 it is a stop faster and focuses closer.

About the Sony FE 35mm F1.8 Large Aperture Full-Frame E-Mount Prime Lens - SEL35F18F

The Sony FE 35mm F1.8 is a compact, lightweight prime lens with a Sony E-mount. It works on full-frame and APS-C cameras. On APS-C bodies it gives a 52.5mm equivalent focal length. The F1.8 maximum aperture lets in a lot of light for dim scenes. Its 9-blade circular aperture gives a smoothly defocused background.

An aspherical element reduces aberration and keeps the lens small and light. Contrast is maintained across the image, even at large apertures. A linear motor drives fast, quiet autofocus and works for both stills and movies. Focusing is internal, so the lens length stays the same and the front filter thread does not rotate.

The lens has a customizable focus hold button and an AF/MF switch on the barrel. Linear Response manual focus gives fine control. The design is dust and moisture resistant, though not guaranteed to be 100% resistant. It focuses as close as 8.66 inches, with a maximum magnification of 0.24x.

Questions and answers

Is the Sony FE 35mm F1.8 worth it over the 35mm F1.4?

How close can it focus?
Minimum focus distance is 8.66 inches with 0.24x maximum magnification, good for food and small details.
Is it weather sealed?
It has a dust and moisture resistant design, though it should still be protected in heavy rain.
Does it have image stabilization?
No. It relies on the camera body's in-body stabilization for shake reduction.
What is in the box?
The lens, front and rear caps, and a lens hood.
