Pros: Weight and size ,sharpness ,color ,contrast

Cons: Maybe the price from new

Opinion: Taken used at 250€ and surprised by the impressive optical and mechanical quality on the Sony a7m2 churns out files with scary images size like a razor blade and you carry it willingly because it does not really disturb recommended to all those who are looking for this favorite angle of view to the nikon ais 35f2 beautiful this all-rounder at the height of the Zeiss brand that even cropped says its take it if you can on the a7 MARK 2 is the natural completion

Pros: Small and lightweight

Cons: the years, now 11, very bad in the backlight

Opinion: I use Sony A7II for work, with the 16-35 ZA for construction sites and inspections (walls, roofs, floors, plaster) with the 55 ZA documents and old maps in the archive. Travel, holiday, excursion and excursion photographs are reserved for the Fuji X100VI. I found the opportunity to buy the 35 ZA at a price that I considered very good, knowing full well that I was buying a lens put on the market 11 years ago. Since I mounted it on Sony A7II it has become irreplaceable in walks in the countryside on paths and along the river. Exclusively landscape photographs, some details of old buildings or structures, all very satisfactory if you avoid letting the sun enter the room: no recent lens I have had has such a glare effect, it is not flare but absolute impossibility of shooting if you frame direct sunlight, no problem with artificial light. Slow autofocus, maybe. Vignetting at full aperture? I don't think so, even if I hardly use it at f/2.8. On the other hand, its weight on the A7 is practically irrelevant. The bulk? a few centimeters beyond the thickness of the camera body. Great for walking in the countryside, sometimes in woods with scattered branches, the lens hood, brilliant to protect the lens.

Pros: Very compact, light, great optical yield, excellent flare resistance

Cons: Only 2.8, strange but effective lampshon

Opinion: I have the 35 1.8, very good but heavy to take for a walk. Seeing for sale (used) the 35 2.8 I got curious and took it, obtaining a great satisfaction. When traveling and you want to be light this 35 is unbeatable and makes the A7r3 almost a compact one. No problem of optical yield, the images are always of excellent quality. Could it have been brighter? Perhaps, but in the end it is also fine: to photograph at night or at dusk there are other optics much more suitable. Highly recommended.

Pros: Colors, Sharpness, Bokeh, tropicalization and compactness.

Cons: Only 2.8

Opinion: I think this objective is very good. Too bad it's only 2.8, it was F2 was perfect. One of the best purchases ever, I consider it better than the 35 1.8 causes better resistance to chromatic aberration and compactness anyway as a record. Great on A7R2 and A7C even better! I recommend buying on amazon the Haoge LH-RX1B square metal lampshon in Leica and Fujifilm style! show! advised!

Pros: Colors, contrast, sharpness, lightness.

Cons: Light ta vignette, easily corrected.

Opinion: I have been using the 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss Sonnar for almost 2 years, in combination with an A7rII, I was immediately fascinated but this micro lens, makes the machine almost invisible, but above all the quality of colors and color rendering is amazing. Sharpness is also excellent and distortion almost non-existent, this quality is important when used in historic centers with small spaces. For me the maximum opening 2.8 is not a problem, it is enough to photograph quietly in dimly lit environments. Some say that the bokeh is not the maximum, of course it is not a 1.4 but, as always, the yield of the blurred depends on the distance from the subject and the background from the latter, for me it is very gradual with very pleasant nuances. The maf is not a problem, the ring is not excessively smooth and well balanced in movement, combined with the peaking of the A7rII is not wrong a shot. I want to end with the fender, small and incredible, it seems impossible that from that slot it is possible to frame the entire field of 35 mm!
