Sony FE 35mm f 1.4 Distagon T ZA Lens Bright, wide, full-frame ZEISS Distagon In addition to being a great choice for snapshots & landscapes, this bright F1.4 35mm full-frame ZEISS Distagon lens facilitates handheld shooting indoors in low light, as well as night scenes. Shallow depth of field at larger apertures & a 9-blade circular aperture design make it easy to create smooth background bokeh for portraits or bridal snapshots. There’s a whole spectrum of imagery that only a large F1.4 aperture can create. A minimum focusing distance of 30cm makes it useful for shooting images of flowers & similar subjects as well. Sharp & clear from corner to corner Precision Sony AA (advanced aspherical) technology & ZEISS T* coating contribute to excellent optical performance, achieving outstanding corner-to-corner resolution. Lens Configuration Legendary ZEISS quality manufactured & calibrated specifically for Sony imaging products. The T* coating contributes to exquisite rendering & contrast. Sharp & clear from corner to corner Three aspherical elements, including one precision Sony AA (advanced aspherical) element, combine in a state-of-the-art optical path to effectively compensate for aberration & achieve outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness. That sharpness is maintained even at maximum aperture so optical performance is consistent at all exposure settings. The F1.4 maximum aperture of this lens makes it easier to capture clear images in low light, even when shooting handheld. A 9-blade circular aperture design enhances its capability for stunningly beautiful background bokeh when desired. Smooth bokeh can make subjects stand out in images with deep dimensional impact. Outstanding colour & contrast ZEISS lenses are renowned for their outstanding color reproduction & contrast. The ZEISS T* coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare & ghosting are reduced for enhanced color & contrast that give images a deep, three-dimensional feel. High reliability in harsh conditions The lens features a dust & moisture resistant design that ensures reliable operation for professional use in harsh conditions.
