The Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA lens is a high-performance wide-angle prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, though it is also compatible with APS-C models, providing a 52.5mm equivalent focal length. This lens features a large f/1.4 maximum aperture, making it ideal for low-light environments and enabling creative control over depth of field, perfect for both portrait and landscape photography.
The optical design of the lens includes three aspherical elements and one Advanced Aspherical (AA) element, effectively minimizing aberrations like astigmatism, field curvature, and coma for exceptional sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. The lens also incorporates Zeiss’s renowned T* anti-reflective coating on all lens surfaces, significantly reducing flare and ghosting, ensuring contrast-rich and vibrant images even in challenging lighting conditions.
The autofocus system of the FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA uses a direct drive Super Sonic Wave (SSM) motor and an internal focusing mechanism for fast, precise, and quiet focusing. This makes the lens suitable for both stills and video applications. A physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth aperture adjustments, which is particularly beneficial for video work. An AF/MF switch on the lens barrel provides tactile control over the focusing mode.
The lens features a nine-blade circular diaphragm, which contributes to smooth and pleasing bokeh. Additionally, it is dust- and moisture-sealed, providing extra protection when shooting in difficult conditions. With its robust construction, advanced features, and exceptional image quality, the Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA is a versatile choice for photographers and videographers alike.
