Finally after a decade of waiting sony users got their very first 35mm f1.4
lens for their full-frame cameras. This lens is going to built like a
premium lens because it's a G-Master series lens and we all know the other
GM lenses out there on the market, yeah the price is expensive the quality
is excellent. The 35mm focal length is one of the versatile lens for
portrait shots unlike the 50mm or 85mm which will give you much tighter
shots.
This lens if classic wide-angle prime with an updated, sleek design, the
Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM is characterized by its speed and relatively compact
form factor. The versatile focal length suits everything from street
shooting to landscape and documentary subjects, and the fast maximum
aperture excels in low light and for controlling depth of field.
This lens has two XA (eXtreme Aspherical) elements and one extra-low
dispersion element reduce a variety of aberrations, color fringing, and
distortion, and the optics are complemented by a Nano AR II coating that
also suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast. Balancing the
optics is an XD Linear Motor system that uses two separate focusing motors
to deliver especially quiet, precise, and quick autofocus performance. The
lens also sports a dust- and moisture-sealed design and fluorine-coated
front lens element to support shooting in inclement conditions.

As part of Sony's esteemed G Master series, this lens is designed to achieve
notably high resolution and sharpness through the correction of a wide
variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations which you have often seen on
lots of landscape pictures. Additionally, these lenses feature robust and
intuitive-to-handle physical designs to benefit both photography and cine
applications. This lens can also be used with APS-C models where it provides
a 52.5mm equivalent focal length. Notably fast f/1.4 maximum aperture
benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords increased
control over depth of field.
The Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements are incorporated into the optical
design and feature superior surface precision for effective control over
astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion, and other spherical
aberrations for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering. One
extra-low dispersion element is featured in the lens design and helps to
reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and
color neutrality.
The physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture
switching to benefit video applications. Dust- and moisture-sealed design
better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings
benefit handling in colder temperatures. Fluorine-coated front element
resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints and is easy to clean. Rounded
11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing
selective focus techniques.
Final Thoughts
As you would expect the Sony FE 35mm F1.4 G Master is very expensive just
like the other GM lenses out there. Also expected, since this is a G
Master lens, is spectacular optical performance, and this lens certainly
lives up to that.
In this lens, the two things really stand out and the first is its size,
of course – it’s not small, but it’s nothing like some of the f/1.4
monsters we’ve seen recently, including Sony’s existing Distagon T* FE
35mm f/1.4 ZA or the Sigma prime lenses. It is perfectly weighed
‘declickable’ aperture ring to the smooth and light focus ring to the
handy customizable Focus Hold button – this is just a great lens to use.
This is more than just a low-light lens. You can shoot at f/1.4 with
absolute confidence and get the kind of shallow depth in outdoor shots
that you might never have expected from a semi-wide lens.
