Sony FE 35mm F1.8 Review
The Sony FE 35mm F1.8 is proof that you don't need an exotic f/1.4 lens to get crisp shots with blurred backgrounds. The 35mm focal length is a popular one, and owners of Sony full-frame camera systems have no shortage of options when shopping for a lens. There are numerous first- and third-party 35mm primes available, but the Sony FE 35mm F1.8 ($749.99) may do the best job of balancing size, optical performance, and f-stop. It costs more than some budget alternatives, like Tamron's promising 35mm F2.8 ($349), but backs it up with solid construction and optics that capture more light. Not Quite Pancake The FE 35mm is a small prime, but not quite a pancake lens. It measures 2.9 by 2.6 inches (HD) and weighs 9.9 ounces, so it won't add that much bulk to your camera. There are other small 35mm lenses available for the Sony system, like the older FE 35mm F2.8 ZA—one of first lenses released with the system in 2013—and the brand new Tamron 35mm F2.8, which we've only just received for evaluation. But an f/1.8 lens captures more than twice the light of an f/2.8 when shot at its maximum aperture. It'...
Pros:
- Good wide-open resolution
- Excellent when stopped down
- Light, compact build
- Dust and splash protection
Cons:
- Pricey

Sony FE 35mm F1.8 Review
The Sony FE 35mm F1.8 is one of Sony's most versatile primes, worthy of serious consideration by all Sony full-frame shooters who desire high quality in a small, lightweight package. Autofocus is swift, and it's extremely sharp wide open. The lens renders out-of-focus areas very smoothly, but purple and green fringing can be an issue in high contrast situations.
Pros:
- Portrait and low light shooters that need tack sharp images wide open, videographers, and those that require fast autofocus
Cons:
- Portrait photographers shooting in high contrast light where chromatic aberration may be distracting, and astrophotographers

- Vignetting at wider apertures
- Not cheap for such a lens

Sony FE 35mm f/1.8
Sony played it a little safe with the FE 35mm f/1.8. They didn’t aim for best-in-class performance at the expense of weight, and they didn’t try to add features like near-macro capabilities. Instead, we got a small, light, and capable 35mm prime. Playing it safe isn’t always a bad thing.
Pros:
- Small and light, even compared to other 35mm f/1.8 lenses, Fully internal focusing, Sharp throughout the aperture range, Excellent in backlit conditions with minimal flare and good sunstars
Cons:
- A little less weather sealing than Sony G or GM lenses, Distinct vignetting in the far corners even at narrow apertures, Relatively high chromatic aberrations, both lateral and longitudinal, Price of $750 is a bit high (though the oft-seen $650 sale price is reasonable)

Good but...
There is no perfect lens. If you want good and small this is your lens. But if you want great and character I prefer the sigma 35 1.4 art (rented recently). Of course the sigma has the heft. But it's also more than $100 less than the Sony.
