Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM lens

Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM

The Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM is the expected G master for some photographers' basic shooting range. The lens combines the ultimate in luminosity in a compact package that is suitable for almost any use. Whether the subject is landscape, street, star and northern lights or documentary potracks the Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM is well suited to the task. The dimmer consists of 11 blades, which ensures particularly round bokeh balls even at the edges of the image area.

The optical design is traditional G-Master quality with special elements that neatly control CA and Flare. All manufacturers have a traditionally high quality 35mm F1.4 lens, but Sony's speciality is its size. Indeed, the lens is considerably lighter than its competitors' counterparts, weighing in at just 524 grams. The redesigned ultra-fast focusing motors (2 x XD linear), compact size, focal length and aperture also make this a great video lens, especially for use with gimbals. An excellent companion for this glass is Sony A7 III, which is also a little giant packed into a compact size.

Every reviewer has praised this innovation and this will surely become the new benchmark for 35mm lenses. Sample images and a test video from a reliable source are provided by Dpreview, whose video you can watch at the bottom of the page, or Here. You can find example photos here.

The 35mm is a classic relatively wide-angle fixed focal length tool. The Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM is a fast and fast lens in a very small size, which is probably at least a top3 if not top1 glass in this category. The versatile focal length is suitable for everything from street and landscape photography to documentation, and the fast maximum aperture shines in low light conditions. Being a G Master glass, it has an advanced optical formula that makes images extremely sharp and clear.

Two XA (eXtreme Aspherical) elements and one extra-low dispersion element reduce a variety of aberrations, colour fringing, and distortion. The Nano AR II coating keeps reflections and opacity at bay and contrast is really good.

The stunning optics are matched by an XD linear focusing motor system that makes focusing particularly quiet and precise, not to mention fast. The lens also has dust and moisture protection, and the fluorine-coated front element comes in handy in humid conditions.

Although the lens is designed for cinema size sensors, it is also suitable for APS-C cameras. These have a focal length equivalent to 52.5mm.
