Sony Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA Lens, E-Mount/Full-Frame

Sony has managed to squeeze exceptional quality into the remarkably compact Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA lens, making it an ideal partner for travel, street and landscape applications, which prioritize both image quality and portability.

ZEISS optics

Based on the ZEISS Sonnar optical concept, this lens uses a design with seven elements in five groups that helps achieve the large maximum aperture of f/2.8 while simultaneously reducing flare and improving contrast.

Three double-sided aspherical elements are incorporated into the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma and other monochromatic aberrations.

ZEISS T* anti-reflection coatings have been applied to every lens surface to minimize reflections to provide greater image clarity, contrast and color fidelity.

The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality when using selective focus techniques.

Autofocus and management

The linear autofocus motor and internal focus design provide fast and precise autofocus performance and enable accurate and quiet focusing during video recording.

The dust- and moisture-sealed design better allows for working in inclement conditions, and the rubberized control rings aid handling in cooler temperatures.

The modest f/2.8 maximum aperture helps achieve the sleek, lightweight design that's ideal for travel, measuring approximately 1.5" long and weighing just 4.2 ounces.

Included with the lens is a dedicated cap-style lens hood that is extremely compact and prevents flare. It also has its own 40.5mm filter thread in addition to the 49mm thread located on the lens.
