4/3/2023 0 Comments Sony 35mm 1.8In that regard, the FE 35mm F1.8 is a breath of fresh air. The trade-off has been heft-you can get impeccable results, but expect the lens to add a pound or two to your kit. Photography enthusiasts have clamored for lenses that capture a ton of light, are sharp from edge to edge, and are within budgetary reach. The Sensible 35mm OptionĪs SLRs have slimmed down into mirrorless form factors, it seems as if lenses have swelled. Likewise, you'll see a slight vignette at f/1.8 and f/2, but it's not apparent at narrower apertures in most situations. There's a little visible pincushion distortion, about 1.1 percent, but it's a very modest effect. It's an academic concern at f/11 (4,445 lines), but you should be wary of using the lens at f/16 (3,630 lines) and f/22 (2,350 lines). The lens is excellent starting at f/2.8 (4,625 lines), and continuing through f/4 (4,690 lines), f/5.6 (4,875 lines), and f/8 (4,910 lines).ĭiffraction cuts down on clarity at very narrow f-stops. Edges lag slightly behind, but are still solidly very good (3,500 lines).Įven though it's a modest drop in f-stop, we see a sizable increase in clarity at f/2, to about 4,200 lines, right around the middle of very good for this sensor. At f/1.8, it delivers detail that's near the top of our good range for the camera, about 3,880 lines (we use 3,900 lines to mark very good resolution on the 60MP sensor). I tested the FE 35mm F1.8 along with the 60MP a7R IV and Imatest software. If you love close-up focus, the Tamron 35mm F2.8 is a promising option in this focal length thanks to 1:2 magnification, but we're holding off recommending it until we've had a chance to fully evaluate it. It's not quite macro territory, but isn't limiting either. It's quite effective with the a7R IV, I'm regularly able to snap handheld long exposure shots relying entirely on camera's in-body stabilization.įocus is available to 8.7 inches, which is good enough for a 1:4.2 life-size reproduction ratio. There's no stabilization in the lens, but that's not a surprise-Sony puts the feature into its camera bodies, with all but the earliest full-frame models offering it. There is a switch to quickly toggle between the two focus modes, as well as a programmable function button, both accessible using your left hand when holding the camera to your eye. The manual focus ring occupies a good portion of the barrel, though we expect most photographers to take advantage of autofocus-the lens focuses quickly and quietly. Front and rear caps are included, but no pouch or soft case. And you have the option of adding a protective filter-the lens has a 55mm thread size. You're less likely to fingerprint the glass if you use the included lens hood. It doesn't include fluorine protection, so you'll need to take care to keep the front element free of smudges. But it's still well built, with a lightweight metal barrel along with dust and splash protection. The FE 35mm isn't a member of any of Sony's premium lens series-it badges midrange glass with G and top-end optics as G Master (GM).
