Compact and Versatile
An ideal second lens, the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS Prime Lens can handle anything from evening shots (thanks to the bright maximum aperture) to beautifully defocused portraits, making it a versatile companion for photographers seeking exceptional image quality and creative possibilities.
Capture smooth, blur-free images
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization within the lens ensures smooth, blur-free photos and videos during handheld shooting, allowing photographers and videographers to capture stunningly crisp and clear visuals even in challenging conditions or fast-paced scenarios. With its advanced stabilization technology, this lens provides reliable and steady performance, minimizing camera shake and enabling users to confidently explore their creativity without compromising on image quality.
Smooth defocusing
Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-blade circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing or ‘bokeh’. The circular aperture design creates a smooth and pleasing background blur, allowing the subject to stand out with a soft, dream-like quality. Whether capturing portraits, close-ups, or artistic shots, the circular aperture of this lens adds an extra touch of aesthetic appeal to every image, enhancing the overall visual impact and immersing viewers in a captivating photographic experience.
Refined optical performance
Aspherical lens elements minimize distortion while ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements provide superior contrast, resolution, and color fidelity, ensuring remarkable image quality and precise rendering of details. By incorporating these advanced optical technologies, this lens delivers exceptional clarity and sharpness throughout the entire frame, even at wide apertures and challenging shooting conditions. The aspherical lens elements effectively reduce aberrations, such as spherical and chromatic aberrations, resulting in images that are remarkably true to life with minimal distortion. Furthermore, the inclusion of ED glass elements enhances the overall image performance by minimizing color fringing and maximizing color accuracy, enabling photographers to capture breathtakingly vibrant and lifelike photographs that truly stand out.

FAQs
1. Is this lens compatible with full-frame Sony cameras?
While designed for APS-C E-mount cameras, it can be mounted on full-frame Sony bodies. The camera will automatically switch to crop mode, providing a 52.5mm equivalent field of view.
2. Does the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 have image stabilisation?
Yes, it features Optical SteadyShot (OSS) technology to minimise camera shake, which is especially helpful for handheld video and low-light photography.
3. What is the minimum focusing distance of this lens?
The minimum focus distance is 11.8 inches, allowing you to get reasonably close to your subject for detailed, intimate shots.
4. Is this lens suitable for low-light shooting?
Absolutely. The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture lets in a significant amount of light, allowing you to shoot in dimly lit environments without heavily relying on high ISO settings.
5. Does the lens extend when focusing?
No, it utilises an internal focusing mechanism, meaning the physical length of the lens remains constant. This makes it particularly easy to balance on stabilisers.
