Sony 35mm f/1.4 ZA Standard-Prime Lens, VGC77AM Vertical Grip BundleWith a minimum focusing distance of approximately 12 inches, the ZEISS Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 is the first E-mount lens to feature an exceptionally fast aperture of f/1.4. The lens has a 9-bladed circular aperture, which makes it a superior choice for creating smooth bokeh (defocus) during portrait shooting. It also performs extremely well in low-light shooting scenarios or for simple everyday photographs. This 35mm prime lens offers a moderately wide focal length, ideal for landscapes and interiors as well as documentary photography and photojournalism. Its f/1.4 maximum aperture is effective in low light and enables shallow depth of field control. When used on APS-C E-Mount cameras, it provides a 35mm focal length equivalence of 52.5mm. The new 35mm prime lens produces stunning corner-to-corner sharpness – even at maximum aperture – thanks to its advanced optical design with 3 aspherical elements including one Sony advanced aspherical element and a 9-bladed circular aperture. It also features ZEISS T* coating that suppresses flare and ghosting for natural color reproduction and excellent contrast. Additionally, the lens has a Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) system that enables whisper-quiet precision focusing, even at the shallowest depth of field. A dedicated aperture ring can be set for smooth, continuous operation – ideal for movie-makers – or with click-stops to provide tactile feedback when shooting still images. The ZEISS Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 is also dust and moisture resistant design for reliable operation when shooting outdoors. ZA SERIES Sony’s ZA designation stands for Zeiss Alpha.
