The Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens is designed for Sony cameras with E mount. Its design will appeal to photographers of all levels and it is perfect as a second lens. It fits easily into a backpack or bag thanks to its compact size and weight of only 155g. You'll appreciate the high f/1.8 aperture especially when shooting handheld in lower light conditions. The focusing from as little as 0.3m that the lens offers is completely unique and perfect for dramatic close-ups. Whatever kind of shots you take with it, SteadyShot optical image stabilisation or direct manual focus will come in handy. Because the focus and aperture motors operate very quietly and smoothly, they are ideal for shooting video. The finish of the Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens is a pleasing aluminium alloy, combining superior quality and ease of use.

Benefits of the Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens
Efficient optical stabilisation and autofocus
The Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens features a silent linear motor for smooth focusing. When tracking objects, you'll appreciate the presence of autofocus. If you're shooting handheld, you'll find the SteadyShot optical image stabiliser handy, which compensates for camera shake and also makes long-exposure or twilight shooting easier.
The lens creates a spectacular out-of-focus background
The 7 circular aperture blades ensure impressive background blur. It will give images taken with the Sony 35mm f/1.8 a more natural and rounded blurred background with a bokeh effect.
Efficient optical stabilisation and autofocus
Focusing is fast and precise. Ideal for photographing moving objects and shooting video. The Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens features aspherical elements to minimise distortion. ED glass elements improve contrast, resolution and colour fidelity. The special internal focusing mechanism causes the lens barrel not to move, and therefore the Sony 35mm f/1.8 retains a smaller size, faster autofocus response and shorter minimum focusing distance.

Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
