35mm F1.4 G Master FE
The FE 35mm F1.4 GM delivers an almost circular aperture thanks to its 11- blade construction – a rare level of quality for a mobile lens. Painstaking spherical aberration control at both the design and the manufacturing stages contributes to beautiful G Master bokeh that make subjects really stand out. Two innovative XA elements allow for impossibly impressive close-ups with smooth, creamy background bokeh. The combination of F1.4 maximum aperture and the flexibility to choose the perfect shooting distance (minimum focusing distance of just 27cm with a maximum magnification of 0.23x in autofocus mode) allows for ultimate control and stunning bokeh when shooting both stills and video. Advanced focus for enhanced imagery Two of Sony’s XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors provides the high thrust efficiency needed for precise AF (autofocus) and tracking - resulting in outstanding resolution at any distance. State-of-the-art control algorithms, developed specifically for the XD Linear Motors, improve control response and precision whilst minimising vibration and noise for fast, smooth and silent AF performance. Advanced focusing can also be achieved when shooting at a high frame rate. Linear Response MF is ideal for creative focusing effects when shooting video as it ensures the focus ring responds to subtle control when focusing manually. The focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise. Professional control and reliability The FE 35mm F1.4 GM offers full professional control, with a focus hold button, focus mode switch to support smooth, efficient operation. An aperture ring with switchable click stops can be turned off for movie shooting, and when used on an APS-C camera or with a Super 35 angle of view, it can be used as a standard lens equivalent to 52.5mm, making the FE 35mm F1.4 GM the perfect choice for creating videos. The focus hold button can be assigned to several other functions via a camera body menu, providing direct access to functions that are vital to photographers and videographers alike. It was created to be reliable with a dust and moisture resistant design[i] and a fluorine front element coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants.
Key Features:
INCREDIBLY SHARP: Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements ensure outstanding resolution in this F1.4 prime lens.
BEAUTIFULLY SMOOTH BACKGROUNDS: A circular 11-blade aperture creates beautiful circular background bokeh defocus effects with a large F1.4 aperture.
AMAZING CLARITY AND CONTRAST: Even under strong sunlight and backlighting, Sony’s new Nano AR Coating II is evenly applied to the element surface, effectively minimising internal reflections so that flare and ghosting do not occur.
FAST AND PRECISE: Two XD Linear (Extreme Dynamic) Motors with their complex construction deliver faster and more accurate focusing than conventional lenses for both photography and videography.
PROFESSIONAL ERGONOMICS: A dust and moisture resistant design, along with versatile controls on this prime lens makes it ideal to use in the most difficult scenarios - both indoors and outdoors.
