Top Rated Gear: Used Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm F/1.4 ZA Full Frame E-mount NEX Camera Lens undefined

Discover the full power of this Sony 35mm f/1.4 camera lens. The short focal length of this full-frame lens ensures it's ideal for taking a wide range of images, from portraits and snapshots to landscapes and cityscapes. In addition, if you're interested in shooting night scenes, it has an ultra-wide f/1.4 aperture so that you can get even more light into the camera for impressive smooth video and stills, particularly when combined with a tripod. In addition, the f/1.4 aperture ensures that you can create narrow depth of field with a beautifully defocused background, and thanks to the nine circular blades, pointsof light appears rounded rather than the usual polygons.Aspherical lens elements and extra-low dispersion glass ensure this Sony 35mm f/1.4 camera lens minimizes chromatic effects. You get impressive sharpness and contrast even whenthe aperture is fully open, and the lens is light and easy to transport. Thanks to advanced Carl Zeiss T* coatings, this prime lens produces incredible results.You even get a responsive aperture ring so that you can manually alter the aperture to adjust images on the fly, or you can switch it off for minimal noisewhen moviemaking. Whether you're a professional or a serious enthusiast who loves experimenting, this Sony 35mm f/1.4 camera lens is go-to lens that fits inanyone's bag. The 35mm focal length makes the Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA an excellent choice for a wide range of photography, from snapshots and landscapes to indoor portraits and night scenes - producing beautiful bokeh through its bright 9- blade F1.4 aperture. The advanced optical design - including aspherical and "AA" (advanced spherical) lens elements combined with renowned ZEISS T* coating - deliver outstanding image resolution and suppresses reflections for superior contrast clarity.  Unmatched ZEISS T* (T-star) Coating  Coated optics were pioneered by Carl Zeiss - and this superb lens features the ZEISS T* (T-Star) coating that virtually eliminates lens flare, internal reflection and light scattering that can otherwise occur at glass-to-air surfaces. The T* coating contributes to outstanding image quality, with high contrast and uniformly excellent resolution right out to the image edges. Not simply applied to any lens - the T* symbol only appears on multi-element lenses in which the required performance has been achieved throughout the entire optical path, therefore guaranteeing the highest quality.  Circular Aperture  When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This 'bokeh' effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocused points of light. alpha lenses 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.  Aspherical Lens Elements  Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped "aspherical" elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight.  Responsive Aperture Ring  A responsive aperture ring offers positive action that will satisfy professional photographers and moviemakers alike. The aperture ring click stops can be switched on or off as required. "Off" is the preferred setting for moviemaking since it results in the least aperture operation noise. When "On" the ring provides tactile feedback that is useful when shooting stills.

I love the look of the images I get with this lens on my Sony A7R3. It is my walk around lens

My walk around lens

I bought this lens and very happy with the quality images 
And the build is absolutely solid

Great quality Images

This lens is super smooth has some lovely creamy bokeh to it and will get you shots that will take your breath away

Great bokeh

expected better results from such an expensive lens, wish I had done my home work before purchasing, a lot of people having the same issues.

not sharp

My copy is not as clear and sharp on one side as on the other. "Sharp and clear from corner to corner" is false advertising. This bug is famous for this purpose in internet forums. It has fewer configuration options than other cheaper targets. Technical service does not give satisfactory solutions.

Big disappointment

This is my main lens. Super clean, crisp and detailed. Af is excellent. Love the aperture ring. Smooth bokeh. Ive read reviews saying this lens is overpriced and that there is inconsistency in the build quality. Maybe I got lucky but this lens is incredible and absolutely worth the price. Ive used lenses 10x the price that are not as clean.

Favorite lens i have used

This is pretty much the only lens I used on my FS7. Phenomenal low quality, fast, sharp, beautiful image. It's expensive, but worth it. And will hold its value.

Top of the Line, Solid Build, Superb in Every Way

Recently bought this.. Best lens for those who are looking for best shallow depth of field.. The bokeh is just awesome ..The aperture ring is an added advantage. Build in quality is good.. Quite heavy.. But can fit to Gimbal perfectly. Perfect lens for those who like to shoot weddings and Potraits. Highly reconmended

Great quality and awesome depth of field

Quality

I’ve been wanting a fast 35mm lens so before purchasing this lens I played around with my friends. I absolutely love this focal length. It is prefect for portraits, landscape, taking photos in the city and for low light situations. I have 24-70mm G Master but it’s been off my camera since purchasing the 35mm. The only thing I don’t like about this camera is the fringing, and there is a lot of fringing. Especially when you are wide open. You will see green and purple fringing when shooting so be mindful. Yes, you can have it corrected in post but it won’t be perfect and it’s more work.

Great everyday lens!

I love this lens so much! Picture quality is awesome!!!

Great Picture Quality

i recommend

I work with that lens for last 6 mounts and I love it !!! best documentary lens, very sharp very fast, very well build !!!!

AMAZING LENS !!!!!

I think this is the best camera lens I own for my A7ii.

It works for me!

A very versatile lens for family, portrait and street photography.

Great Bokeh

Awesome lens to pair with our Sony A7S2 system for video ... May leave on camera rig forever... Buy it! See footage taken for my wife’s music video - S. Marlo new music video.

Awesome lens to pair with our Sony A7S2 system for video ... May leave on camera rig forever... Buy it!

Really love this lens.  I shoot wide open 80 percent of the time and in the middle 75 percent it is really sharp and distortion free.  Wide open it is a little bit soft and bent on the edges, but has not been an issue for me.  (Stopped down,  sharp to corners.)  I don't know if it is the focal length or the optics or bokeh  or color rendition, or what, but I love - and those who see my picks love- a greater percentage of pics from this lens than from my other lenses (Sony 24 1.4 and 85 1.4 - both razor sharp lenses).  So I keep coming back to this for walk-around and for outside candid-like portraits.

Great.

It's a great lens for street and general landscape shots. It's a bit hefty when married to the a7r3 but it performs very well and auto focus is quick. It's f1.4 is magic.

That Zeiss 3D Pop is Real

Read awesome review before purchasing it .
If you have the $$, highly recommend it.

Awesomeness

Awesome!

Super sharp lens, very nice construction, the best of it’s kind, highly recommended !

Best of it’s kind.

This is the best 35/1.4 lens I’ve ever used, and I’ve used a lot.

Best

Beautiful lens. I've used it on my A7RII and A7RIII. The color and clarity is outstanding. No doubt, this lens will earn an honorable distinction of being a "true classic." Endorsed and Recommended.

Amazing Clarity and Color!

Good lens. Sharpen angle with light weight and have F Stop 1.4

Awesome lens

I bought it two months ago and I very happy with it. Bokeh is really nice and sharpness and af are great too. The onpy problem is chromatic aberration. It's huge at f1.4 Totally unacceptable for me.

Very nice lens

This is one of the best investment I have made! It produces very sharp images. I only wish it could be a little lighter in weight. Anyway, I love it.

One of The Greatest Optics!

Like the class Zeiss, it is practical, elegant and has a delicate meaning.
Real colors, beautiful bokeh, precise and fast focusing are all in line with my expectations. If add on AF / MF On-lens controls, like Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA It's even more perfect.

ZEISS Classic feel integrate with new technology

This lens is super fast and great for portraits when you want to get a bit more in frame.

Best 35mm, period.

Bought my first prime with my new Sony A7r III. Loving the sharpness!
