Sony SEL FE 35mm F1.4 The full-frame Zeiss Distagon Sony SEL FE 35mm F1.4 lens is an excellent choice for both snapshots and landscapes, as well as for night scenes and handheld shots in low light conditions. It gives portrait and wedding photos a smooth background bokeh effect, thanks to the nine-blade circular aperture, shallow depth of field, and very wide apertures. There is a whole range of photographic effects that are only possible with a wide F1.4 aperture. Thanks to the minimum focusing distance of 30 cm, the lens is perfect for photographing flowers and similar subjects. The lens has a water and dust-resistant design, which ensures reliable performance for professional use in extreme conditions. Sony SEL FE 35mm F1.4 Features Lens construction: 12 elements in 8 groups Minimum focusing distance: 0.3 m Zeiss T * coating Direct Drive SSM Water and dust resistant Filter size: 72 mm Sharp and defined Three aspherical elements, including a precision AA (advanced aspherical) element from Sony, together create an ultra-modern optical path, which allows for effective aberration compensation and excellent sharpness throughout the frame. This sharpness is maintained even at the maximum aperture, so optical performance is consistent across all exposure settings. DDSSM provides quiet, fast, and precise autofocus The new DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) system is used for precise positioning of the heavy focusing group, necessary for the full-frame format: it enables accurate focusing, even at the lens's minimum depth. The DDSSM system is also extremely quiet and is perfect for recording videos with continuous focus when photographing moving scenes. Optimized for both video and photos This lens is designed for video, but also for photography. You can activate the adjustable clicks in the aperture ring for tactile feedback when taking photos, or deactivate them for smooth and quiet operation when recording videos. Furthermore, the lens has minimal impact due to focus changes, a key feature in video recording. Color and contrast Zeiss lenses are renowned for excellent color reproduction and contrast. In addition, the Zeiss T * coating plays an important role, as it effectively eliminates reflections, which reduce the overall quality of the photo. Flares and reflections disappear, and better colors and contrast emerge for images with a deep and three-dimensional look.
