| sent on 29 Agosto 2023 Pros: Lightweight, compact, very solid construction, linear motor, sharpness Cons: Price of new without offers, backlight Opinion: Optics taken on Amazon at € 470, no more for an intermediate optics of 5 years ago. I was looking for a compact and versatile lens to keep on the A7IV on vacation and, trusting the various reviews, I opted for this 35mm. A very well constructed optics, completely in metal, gives security in the purchase. It makes the camera body pleasantly transportable even at the neck without discomfort. Very sharp even at 1.8, you would not say from the cost, solves the 33mpx of the A7IV without efforts already at 2.8. Negligible vignetting, I have never perceived it as annoying, perfect autofocus, part of the cost of the lens I feel is justified even by AF motors. Without a great personality in the yield but we are talking about a basic lens in the Sony FF system, however the colors are pleasantly balanced and in post leave room for any work up. Small note on the backlight, the only real limit of the lens, easily present flare and ghosting even with the hood. Optics so pleasant in the quality price that does not make me consider the use of the sister GM, perhaps if I really needed the creamiest bokeh that can be obtained, but otherwise nothing to add. The focal length 35mm is complex, you have to get used to it for a second, it is often too narrow and too wide at the same time, it forces you to move more and think better about the subjects. I found it wonderful in portraits in which you want to work through the background of the subject, without isolating it completely. In video use, however, it is the best focal length in my opinion, with 35mm you bring home any type of shooting. |
| sent on 24 Gennaio 2023 Pros: Excellent construction and beautiful yield Cons: Very light that seems not to have it. Opinion: I use this lens on my sony for macro sets, especially at night. It is very well built, I have also used it in dust, mud and rain and it has never given me problems. Beautiful color rendering and excellent detail at all apertures. The focus is very precise and has a very short distance, plus with an extension tube it can be used a few cm from the subjects. Excellent side button to switch to manual focus that for me is indispensable. The only thing that bothers me is the weight, very light, when I mount it on my cars with battery grip it is like not having it. |
| sent on 01 Gennaio 2023 Pros: Sharpness Cons: vignetting Opinion: It is certainly a very clear lens, you can see it in post production ... Do not be fooled by the neutral results at the first shot, knows how to give satisfaction ...... Unfortunately it has flaws, such as the horrendous vignetting, the terrible control against the light ..... then I must admit my little mastery of 35mm ..... is a focal length for general use, certainly not portrait or landscape, the autofocus is very fast and even on A7II does not miss a shot ...... The construction is excellent in metal and resident water, reminds me of my 55 Zeiss but unfortunately it is a distant relative from a qualitative point of view even if the sharpness is not lacking and knows how to churn out beautiful photos, unfortunately I do not know how to use it well, narrow or too long, it always leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth |

| sent on 09 Marzo 2022 Pros: High sharpness, excellent construction, lightweight, precise af Cons: Nothing to report Opinion: Lens little "emblazoned", considering the price defends itself very well even against much more expensive glass. Precise and responsive Af, simple and minimal construction, but robust with materials that return to the touch a comfortable feeling of high quality. The button to assign a function near the af/mf switch is a great treat. Very sharp and precise lens, contains aberrations and distortions very well, is optimally balanced and balanced on the camera body and returns neutral colors, without obvious dominants. |
| sent on 17 Gennaio 2022 Pros: Sharp, fast AF and eye AF, quiet, small, lightweight, good used opportunities Cons: Slight distortion, a bit of vignette a ta, sometimes made clinical. Opinion: Since I bought it it has become my favorite lens. I sincerely do not understand those who complain about uncertain or inaccurate autofocus as well as sharpness. I did not find these problems. Removed the distortion and the yield "sometimes" aseptic (ie very neutral in tones and colors), sometimes because it is not always so, it is a lens to have, also considering the price. |
| sent on 06 Luglio 2021 Pros: lightweight, not too expensive, precise autofocus Cons: Certainly not a very sharp optics, made general questionable (I don't like it), distorts more than I expected Opinion: As a portrait painter I can't help but own a 35mm, but I'm sorry because I took it after possessing for several months its 85mm big brother and, in all honesty, there really is an abyss between the two optics... this has no sharpness other than very closed diaphragms (but then I do not need it) and distorts too much, the subjects can only be resumed from afar. I don't like it, if I could do without it I would make it. |
| sent on 06 Marzo 2021 Pros: Excellent price-performance-size ratio, good for AF and re-resolution Cons: on 42 mp it has slight aberrations, too neutral as yield. Opinion: I sold the 50 1.4 zeiss before it devalued too much given the rumors of a GM 1.2, which was discovered between 24 and 135 I opted to buy 35 and 85 1.8 taking advantage of the cashback. the 35 is not actually my favorite focal point, but it still remains very versatile. this 35, which many praise, takes a few shots on the 42mp of the a7riii. the resolution remains very high, even at full opening, but to achieve the performance of the GM you must close at least f2.5. photographing in the backlight or with reflective metals in the scene, slight aberrations can occur probably not at all noticeable on 24mp. Luckily I found no signs of flare, even shooting in full sun, if anything it loses a contrast thread, but I find it absolutely normal. the 35 1.8 remains a very light and very small lens. very performing at AF level, but, compared to the famous and expensive little brothers, it lacks verve. when I look at the photos taken with 35 1.8 I find them absolutely neutral, almost aseptic, indeed, midges. of course, processing the file you can get a lot. but already the 55 1.8 zeiss for me had much, much more character. I will conclude by saying that, however, it remains a MUST HAVE lens given the relationship between dimensions, performance and costs. it's just PERFECT for making street and generic walking photos. |
| sent on 15 Febbraio 2021 Pros: Very light, very fast in the af, very sharp, tropicalized. Cons: Proletarian lens that does not make status, but intelligent. Opinion: The perfect lens does not exist, but for those who use the 35mm this lens solves many problems. Fast, brilliant, light and above all cheap. Used with a7R IV it allows you to perform even important crops, so as not to make it necessary to mount longer optics. For those looking for the blazon, instead, it will have to turn on 35mm 1.4 GM or on ZEISS lenses. Of course, if you think about the price difference of around 1300 euros compared to 1.4 GM it might seem like nonsense. Maybe that's nonsense!!! but monkeys are made to get on your shoulder and get you stupid... but the GM red mark or the blue one with the inscription ZEISS are really nice ...... |
| sent on 26 Novembre 2020 Pros: Light, Fast and precise Af, sharp already at full opening, aesthetically beautiful, flare resistance, excellent contrast and color rendering. Cons: For the time being nothing Opinion: Recently taken, in combination with Sony A7ii,it is the first lens I have Sony, I feel very good with the 35mm focal, let's say it is the center of my kit, I repeat the AF is very fast, and I have the A7ii that everyone says is slow.... sharpness even at F1.8 at least in my specimen.in my opinion it is the best choice as size/weight/brightness, it lies exactly between the large f1.4 and the small f2.8. I find the blurry very beautiful, suitable as I use it both in landscape and street I am very satisfied with the purchase and I recommend it, to be combined in my opinion with the brother fe 85 f1.8 same design, for light outputs with 2 optics almost everything is done. |
| sent on 14 Febbraio 2020 Pros: definitely it's light and portable Cons: I go against the current, but to me it did not seem so sharp, Eye Af not very precise. Opinion: I got to use this lens in a controlled studio context: in addition to doing a hair of focus hunting on the eyes with active AF eye I do not seem to have obtained stellar results, but not knowing what the 35 mm are able to churn I can not compare much. it may be convenient to take on holiday but I would prefer the Zeiss 2.8 because it is smaller. to reconnect with Franz Zambotti did not trigger the poem that the 55 1.8 that I love, is able to give me despite all its flaws. |
| sent on 04 Gennaio 2020 Pros: Full-open yield, portability, solid construction, bokeh Cons: a little aseptic Opinion: I took this lens after giving away the Sony Zeiss 1.4 for the issue of weight and transportability The 35mm 1.8 is built well, light, it is an all-rounder lens suitable for both the Street and groups of people. Great colors, good bokeh, very sharp already at full opening If I have to find a flaw is perhaps to "have no defects", I explain: it did not trigger a "poetic spark" that pleases me in everything as happened with the 55 Sony Zeiss or the 85 1.4 GM, I compare this lens to the FE 85 F1.8: it doesn't have great character, but it's versatile, comfortable, light, well built, and the optical yield is excellent. Very recommended for street and reportage, a thread less for portraits. |
| sent on 24 Dicembre 2019 Pros: Sharpness, AF, Handling, Bokeh Quality Cons: Maybe made overly clinical, You can't want everything but half a stop in more. Opinion: If I had to choose ONE lens to always go out with would be this, it focuses even in the dark, it is small and excellently balanced on A7III, very sharp already at TA, The quality of the bokeh is great, with a crazy sharpness and a very nice light point rendering. Maybe it's not the perfect optics for the portrait, even if it's great, but for the street and any urban situation it's really a pleasure to use and the results are great. |

| sent on 17 Dicembre 2019 Pros: Remarkable sharpness, AF speed, very light Cons: In relation to the price I can't find any Opinion: I used to very Nikon with the Sigma 35 1.4 and when I bought the sony a7r iv I was in doubt whether to take the sigma again or this. I preferred the sony for the size and speed/reliability of the AF and I do not regret the sigma at all. Of course, one is 1.4 and the other 1.8 but honestly at this focal length for me the difference is not abysmal, especially taking into account the saving of weights and footprints that I have gained. The speed and accuracy of the af is incredible, even in low light I shot without any problem. I absolutely recommend it! |
| sent on 28 Settembre 2019 Pros: Absolute sharpness, top-of-class fire speed, parasitic light control, distortion, weight, neutral color rendering, MF control in videos and no focus breathing Cons: Obviously it's not a monster bokeh, I'm detached from the subject that's there but it's not overbearing. More suited to the street than to portraits... so to speak. Opinion: (Follows first opinion 28 Sep 2019) If I think that with 500 euros more I would have taken the 35mm 1.4 zeiss FE a little bit comes to think, but the lightness, the sharpness, the feeling of comfort that transmits is very high. For a mirrorless sony is proportionate, the sibling as bright as size I find it exaggerated. Excellent automatic fire, without flaws, pecks 10 out of 10, both in Af-c and af-s (Sony A7III) A lens that you never put in crisis already from f 1.8 and for no light condition. Made first in the class, a little poor in character for its excessive precision, but of course it pays off with images without flaws. If you need something more "romantic" and portrait, then I recommend the 1.4 competition between sigma or samyang (or the sony itself)... If you are a wedding photographer with real spontaneous reportage, with this do not go wrong. I saw a review that said that the sigma was sharper than this at the edges, I deny saying that probably its sony specimen was not perfect because on mine I did not notice any of this. (we update on November 10, 2019) I can confirm the absolute precision of this lens in every way, from photos to video. I use it for events is a reference when I need to go on the safe side. Only micro regret about the fact that it is not a "monster bokeh" but what is there is correct and homogeneous even in the corners. |
| sent on 03 Settembre 2019 Pros: Stunning sharpness already in TA, colors, small size, economical compared to the competition, tropicalized, scary with update 3.1 sony a7iii Cons: For now, nothing Opinion: I recently bought this lens that immediately gave me a fantastic feeling both the optical yield and really small size, sharpness to say the least amazing, I tried a self portrait and I was able to see the pores of my skin as if they were craters on earth, very natural and beautiful colors. Blurred soft enough, undone |
