A 35mm lens with a wide maximum aperture is one of the most versatile a photographer can have in their bag, offering a wide but relatively neutral focal length in tandem with the ability to leverage narrow depth of field or work in low-light situations. For Sony shooters looking for the best of the best, there is the FE 35mm f/1.4 GM, and this great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it.
Coming to you from Stefan Malloch, this excellent video takes a look at the Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM lens. As with all of Sony's G Master lenses, the FE 35mm f/1.4 GM comes with a variety of advanced features, including:
- Two extreme aspherical elements for reduced astigmatism, field curvature, and distortion and increased sharpness
- One extra-low dispersion element for reduced chromatic aberration and increased clarity
- Nano AR Coating II for reduced flares and ghosting and deeper contrast
- Dual XD Linear motors for fast and quiet autofocus suitable for both photos and video
- Customizable focus hold button
- De-clickable aperture ring for video
- Dust- and moisture-sealed construction
- Fluorine coating on front element to resist fingerprints and smudges
- Rounded 11-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
