Review Summary

I've bought it two weeks ago and only used it few times, but from what I can see it's amazing lens, very sharp, great bokeh and really good color rendering. So far love it, therr is slight CA wide open but only tiny bit and can be easy corrected in post.

There is a reason so many of us photographers, Videographers and social content creators buy a 35mm. I have taken and captured my best work on this lens. Paired with a sony body, the competition doesn't come close.

It's a substantial purchase for anyone but I was very pleased with what I've got for my money. 35mm is a very versatile focal length so I've been able to take photos of everything so far. And the sharpness of the lens I'm sure has allowed me to crop in a little more too. It's also not huge and not too heavy. If you're trying to go with a one-lens set-up as I am, and you want the best quality, look no further.

The 35mm gm is one of my favorite lens. The performance is amazing and on point for what I like to do.

I am exceedingly picky about 35mm fast primes. I have generally had to sacrifice weight in order to have great optical performance, and I have seldom been impressed with autofocus speed. The 35GM changed all of that! The GM is a stellar lens from its nice minimum focus distance out to infinity, and everything in between. It is rare to find a lens this incredibly sharp that also has such a lovely bokeh. To top it off, the autofocus is essentially faster than you can think about what you would like to focus on, and all of those features land in a modest weight body, and you get one incredible lens. An added bonus for this lens is that its rendering matches that of the 50/1.2GM and the 135GM. I can use all of them in the same shoot and have the same look to the images. Home run, Sony!

Sharp and contrast lens Doesn't have 3d pop and is a little expensive. Otherwise it's brilliant.

Good lens, I however did expect a little more out of a G Master lens. It does struggle quite a bit to autofocus

Long story short, this lens is permanently attached to my camera. For my needs, no matter what I'm doing or where I'm going, I know the 35mm will do the job beautifully. Enough width for landscapes, perfect for street and travel, and low enough distortion for beautiful environmental portraits and product photography. The lens is close focusing and absolutely razor sharp. If you want to call it a negative, the barrel is plastic but it's high quality and very resistant to wear and impacts, more so than painted metal. Sony have hit an absolute home run. This is an all-time great 35mm lens by anyone's standards.

This is the first Sony prime lens I've owned, It's light, compact, performs superbly and the image results are fantastic, I've only used it in a studio at the moment, It will be my go to lens for street and location and travel photography.

As a Sony GM lens you can expect it's going to be good.and it certainly is. Sharp and great in low light.

I bought this lens then exchanged it for a replcement. Both times, immediately on opening there was lint on the inside of the lens @ the rear. My 3rd lens should be arriving next week. Hopefully 3rd time is perfect. The lens is supposedly weather sealed. There shouldnt be dust/lint inside the lens.

The lens is amazing. The tripod is a good value and is sturdy, which makes the bundle a good deal. The filters are garbage and do but belong on a GM lens. I don't trust the cleaning kit for use on this lens but I will use it to clean cell phones and tablets.

I bought this Len coz I would like to learn Portrait Photographing, but to begin with I start with a 35mm Len to get acquaintance with my also newly bought A7RIV. After some time, maybe around half year I am going to buy another GM Len most probably the 85mm f/1.4

I've been extremely impressed with this lens, sharp, fast focussing and beautiful rendering with great subject 'pop' and lovely bokeh. CA's are extremely well controlled. The only negative I can find is that there's very slight optical vignetting at the wide apertures, but it's well controlled and better than a lot of lenses.

I definitely recommend this lens. The photos are clear, and the 35mm allows me to shoot wider in smaller spaces. My photos are for boudoir, and this lens allows me to get a full body photo in small spaces. Automatically, I ordered an ND Filter so that I can keep my aperture wide open, and still get great shots with or without flash.

The only lens you need
By Danny Q.
Just received mines earlier this morning and i must say this lens is PERFECT!! It's small and lightweight compared to the sigma version. Bought this lens for car photography but to be honest, this focal length is super versatile and can be used for any type of style! Definitely 1 to have in your camera bag. Build quality is A++ and it's very sharp! Haven't seen anyone post theirs yet so thank you for the quick shipping Adorama.
Just Release It Already!!!

So all of us pre-orders will get the best reviewed lens in years! Sony=excellence!!!!!
Superior 35mm optics, with wide F1.4 circular aperture and high performance autofocus from the XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear focus mechanism in a compact lightweight design.
The FE 35mm F1.4 GM delivers incredible G Master quality and performance in a compact and lightweight design, ideal for any occasion. Using Sony’s most advanced optical design and manufacturing technology, it delivers extraordinary resolution and gorgeous bokeh with precision focus performance. Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and Nano AR coating II all contribute to high-contrast, high-resolution results with corner-to-corner sharpness and dramatically reduce chromatic aberration, flea and ghosting.
The F1.4 max aperture provides extraordinary brightness and depth of field, allowing you to isolate your subject from the foreground and background with amazing light gathering capabilities when shooting wide open. The unique combination of wide F1.4 aperture with 11 circular aperture blades and two XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements deliver on the G Master promise of ultra-sharp in focus areas of your image with beautiful soft defocused bokeh. The fast F1.4 aperture is not only good for shallow depth of field, but ideal for situations that require more advanced light gathering capabilities like indoor, night and astral photography, making this lens perfect for any occasion.
The FE 35mm F1.4 GM incorporates two extremely precise XA (extreme aspherical) elements - manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision - in an innovative optical design that achieves stunning G Master resolution throughout the image area, while delivering smooth, creamy bokeh in out-of-focus areas. Two XA elements compensate for coma, field curvature, and astigmatism, that can be problems with wide-angle large-aperture optics. These elements also enable closer focusing distance and contribute to the compact and lightweight design.
While the two XA elements effectively suppress onion ring bokeh, the 11-blade circular aperture maximizes the beauty of this large-aperture prime-lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background, as well as perfectly round points of defocused light. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides that create unappealing, polygonal-shaped defocused points of light. This lens overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.
An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element significantly reducing flare and ghosting by taking axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration (due to differences in magnification) out of the picture. Resolution and bokeh is maximized while leaving precisely rendered edges with no fringing or unnatural coloration right out to the image edges.
The two XA lens elements plus innovative mechanical, optical and control technology achieve a minimum focusing distance of just 10.6” (27cm / 25cm when focusing manually) with a maximum magnification of 0.23x (0.26x when focusing manually), making it possible to shoot impressive close-ups with smooth, creamy background bokeh. The combination of F1.4 maximum aperture and the flexibility to choose your shooting distance affords plenty of control for stills as well as movies. This compact 35mm lens can deliver spectacular images with an extremely wide variety of subjects.
The FE 35mm F1.4 G Master lens incorporates a precision internal focus mechanism consisting of two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors that easily keep up with the high-speed capabilities of today’s most advanced camera bodies, taking advantage of their full autofocus speed, precision, and tracking potential to capture the most dynamic subjects. New control algorithms make it possible to drive the lens’s focus group smoothly and without delays for responsive, silent, precise and continuous autofocus in both still and video modes.
XD Linear Motors for fast, precise, quiet focusing
This lens weighs just 1.155lb. (524g) and measures in at only 2.99” x 3.78“(76 x 96 mm). It’s small size and light weight enhance mobility when used with compact E-mount Full-frame or APS-C bodies and make up a well-balanced system that is ideal for use on gimbals or accessory grips.
The FE 35mm F1.4 G Master lens is highly recommended for APS-C as well as full-frame users. It balances well on smaller APS-C format bodies, providing a very useful focal length of 52.5mm (full-frame format equivalent). 52.5mm is great for taking snapshots around town, shooting scenery while hiking or mountain climbing, and much more.
In addition to providing the fast, hands-on response required for still and moviemaking applications, the FE 35mm F1.4 G Master lens’s aperture ring includes a switch that turns its click stops on or off: ON for tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for silent control when shooting movies. The combination of quiet XD Linear Motors and the quiet operation available when the click stops are off is not only great for smooth, seamless aperture control when shooting movies, but also for shooting theater, concerts, and events where noise must be minimized.
The focus hold button not only performs its primary function to lock focus when recomposing but can be customized via the camera body menu settings to a number of other functions depending on your needs. In addition to Focus Hold, these custom functions include: Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview or Bright Monitoring.
Instantly and quickly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you choose.
Linear Response MF (manual focus) ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control is feels immediate and precise in both still and movie modes.
The dust and moisture resistant design make this lens appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather resistant measures.
The FE 35mm F1.4 G Master lens has clear advantages for moviemaking. With an wide 35mm angle of view on full frame bodies and 52.5mm on APS-C bodies or Super 35mm cameras, two XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors for fast, precise autofocus and tracking, a bright F1.4 maximum aperture for beautifully defocused background bokeh, excellent close-up performance and a class leading compact and lightweight design, this lens is ideal for all types of content creators. In addition to the small size and light weight, its internal focus design makes it convenient for use on compact gimbals or grips for vlogging and other applications.
The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.
Unlike many other wide-angle lenses, the FE 35mm F1.4 G Master Lens accepts 67mm filters. Since its internal focus mechanism means that the front element does not rotate when focusing, circular polarizing filters can also be used when shooting landscapes. Polarizers for landscapes, ND filters for movies, and other filter types can be used for extra creative control.
