Sony SEL35F18 35 mm f/1.8 Prime Fixed Lens

MAKE SURE you update your lens' firmware (and camera firmware) to get the most from this lens. I have this, and the 50mm prime from Sony and I love both of them. I'm not an expert but I can tell you practically what these lenses are good for: - the 35mm is better for making sure you get SHOTS IN FOCUS (much more forgiving depth of field), it's better for video (because you don't want to use autofocus for video), and it gives you a wider field of view of course. It is similar to a 50mm on a 35mm. - the 50mm has more "reach" (zoomed in more if you like) and a smaller field of view. However, you get a MUCH shallower depth of field which makes getting beautiful bokeh very easy. That said, it can also make it a royal pain to get things in focus because especially at close range, the depth of field is super shallow. Still good for video, when you can't be right up in the action, but less useful than the 35mm. The 50mm is also going to show more hand movement (even with OSS) than the 35mm though OSS is EXCELLENT on both. The 1.8 aperture is good for indoors and low light situations, again, with the depth of field issue in mind for the 50mm. In confined spaces the 35mm would be better for both field of view and depth of field reasons ESPECIALLY in low light. I can generally shoot video at 1/50th at ISO 100 or 200 with some help from some small portable LED lights with no issues whatsoever. If you have any of the NEX cameras, then you probably know that you need to stay below ISO 400-800 for video unless you're a fan of noise. While it's fine up to ISO 1600, you really get a much nicer quality video in the lower ISO numbers. Past ISO 1600 you might as well be using a cheap camcorder. The 1.8 really opens up that door and when used properly can produce some really nice looking video. The 35mm also doesn't SEEM to moire as badly as the 50mm. I'm not sure if my 50mm is sharper than my 50mm or what the technical reason is, I just know that while moire is still present (that's a camera body issue not a lens one), it's not as bad in stuff I shoot with the 35mm. While I prefer my 50mm for the image it produces raw, I usually reach for my 35mm when I'm going to be walking around or maybe covering a birthday party or something silly like that. Mostly because I find that 35mm is wide enough for most indoor shots, though I might take my 16-50 with me in case I really need that super wide angle for some reason. If you can only pick one, between the 50 and the 35mm. I'd say that if you do a lot of video or shooting in something like a bedroom sized room (10x10) that you might want to grab the 35mm. It's more flexible than the 50mm. I do use the 50 quite a lot though. Oh, and the 35mm is roughly the size of the 16-50 kit lens, the 50mm is much larger and heavier to boot. That said, if you want that delicious bokeh, the 50mm is better for stills imho. As far as image quality...well, I'll leave that up to the pixel peepers and lens experts to explain. They look pretty sharp to me and BLOW THE KIT LENS AWAY.

UPDATE: Really glad I bought this lens still. I think it could have been $350 instead of $450 considering some of the competing lenses for not much more(Zeiss) or far less(sigma). Either way I'm enjoying it a lot as a big improvement over the kit lens. This review comes from a novice so it will just touch breifly on my first impressions for now and expand as I learn more and have more experience with the lens. I am using this on my NEX 5TL after researching the best first lens to get. I wanted something basic and general that could improve on the kit lens and I wanted something sharp with a fast focus and good photo quality in low light. I wanted something that I could leave on for a vacation. This lens is exactly what I was looking for and surpasses my requirements. The lens came fairly well packed and looked great upon opening. It is metal and feels solidly constructed and the focus ring has a really good amount of resistance compared to the kit lens which I felt had too little resistance. The glass looks flawless and after a few test shots I threw a filter on it to add piece of mind for my investment. The autofocus seems reasonably fast and I haven't had issues with it. I've been taking some pictures in lower light that my kits lens was incapable of producing clear pictures without a tripod in. The results have been great and very impressive. 35mm seems to be ideal for taking pictures of just about anything. I wish I had more detailed information about this lens but I am a novice photographer and about all I can say is that I like it. It takes great pictures in all situations and lighting conditions and it's easy to recommend as a great upgrade to the kit lens on the NEX 5TL. I will continue to update this review as I learn more and have more experience with this lens.

With two camera bodies at hand (Sony A-mount and Sony E-mount), it made sense for me to use Sony DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM (A-mount) as I could use it on both my Sony Alpha DSLT and Sony Alpha NEX (via LA-EA1 or LA-EA2 adapter). However, I was using that lens practically always on my NEX. With the decision to use shorter focal length, smaller lenses on NEX-6 and switch to all Full Frame (non-DT) prime lenses on A-mount, the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 E OSS was the obvious choice. The E 35/1.8 OSS is more expensive than the cheaper DT 35/1.8 and finished (build) accordingly. While both are small and light lenses (DT 35/1.8 also requires use of adapter whereas E 35/1.8 is native), the E 35 is more so. It also has optical stabilization and supports focal plane (on sensor) phase detect AF. I have observed the optical stabilization to be effective for four stops. The lens is sized well to allow good support for a more stable shooting (I prefer to support lenses rather than try one-handed shooting). The focus ring is not mechanical but is smooth and well weighted and quite useful. The lens appears to be quite sharp corner to corner, and very good wide open. The lens feels great without feeling heavy. Excellent job Sony. IMO, the lens is well worth the price that I paid for it, $398 w/free shipping. The A-mount 35/1.8 is of course cheaper (I had paid $165 for it), but the E-mount version handily beats it in build quality, and appears to be slightly better optically as well. Plus the stabilization (useful on Sony E-mount bodies). Being a small lens, the E 35/1.8 is an excellent walk around lens on any E-mount body (especially with 20mm f/2.8 pancake in the pocket for wider scenes).

EDIT #2: I have gotten ahold of and thoroughly tested the new Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8, with a review both here on Amazon and my website. Though the below review still stands, the Zeiss is overall an optically better lens. For handheld low-light and video applications, the Sony inches ahead. EDIT: As of February 4th, Sony has officially announced the release of a firmware update to the NEX-5r/6 to allow this lens (and many others) to function with the on-sensor PDAF. There is now even less to complain about on this lens' performance. END EDIT Original Review: I've already written a rather extensive review of this fine lens on my website (look up Matthew Durr Photography if you want to read more detailed information), but let me distill down the lens' major high points and bottom low points: The Good: -Even on the NEX-7, the 35mm f/1.8 provides good to great sharpness at most apertures -The OSS gives about 3-4 stops of shutter speed advantage, depending on how steady your hands are -Out-of-focus areas are generally pleasing for a lens of this type, save for some busyness with complex backgrounds (tree branches, for example) -Extremely compact, focuses quick, and is a good value for the money The Bad: -Even being a good value (the OSS is accounting for a majority of the lens' cost), $450 for a 52.5mm f/2.8 equivalent Field-of-View lens (on a full-frame 35mm sensor) is pretty high -Longitudinal chromatic aberrations at the wider apertures, mainly in the backgrounds, can be distracting (but can mostly be edited out) Okay, so why did I give it five stars with the above listed cons? It's simple. In nearly every shooting situation that calls for the 50mm field-of-view, this 35mm f/1.8 delivers. Low-light? OSS. Subject separation? f/1.8 Sharp landscapes? Shoot at f/5.6. Traveling? It's a compact kit! Ignore the naysayers griping about how it's not compatible with the NEX5r/6's PDAF yet, or that it's "just as good" as the kit lens at 35mm. For one, Sony will surely come out with an update eventually to allow the PDAF to function (though it isn't needed for anything besides moving subjects). Secondly, this lens lets in over five times as much light wide-open than the kit lens does at 35mm. This means that, all other image parameters made equal, a shot taken at 1/10 with the kit lens can be accomplished at 1/50 with this lens. Or, given the same shutter speed in a low-light scenario, the 35mm f/1.8 can shoot at ISO 400 while the kit lens' camera has to go up to over ISO 1600. Bottom line? The 35mm f/1.8 is a great lens that provides excellent image quality at the "normal" field-of-view that so many NEX photographers have been waiting for since the camera line's inception.

I've been waiting for Sony to make a good standard prime for NEX for more than a year that I own a NEX 5n. So far NEX primes were somewhat of a mixed bag: with nice (and expensive) 24mm Zeiss and 50mm on one side and weak 16mm and fairly useless 30mm F3.5 macro on the other. I'm happy to say that 35mm is there together with the 24mm and 50mm (which I also own). It's quite good even wide open, with only slightly lower contrast and softer corners. At F2.8 it's very good especially in the center and at F4 it's really excellent and sharp across the frame. Focusing seems about as good as it is with other nex lenses: a bit faster than 50mm and slower than 24mm. It also has IS which is especially useful for video and low-light (static) scenes. Another great things about the lens is that it's size is a good match for NEX bodies and it's built very nicely with thin metallic casing and mount (although most of the body is plastic like on 50mm). On the negative side of things: 1. The biggest issue is actually in using this (and any other fast) lens on NEX cameras. In order to use the lens below F4 (which is how you always want to use it) you need to have the lens in Aperture priority or Manual. In Manual there is no AutoISO so you'll need to tweak the shutter speed and ISO manually to get a correct exposure (which is quite a pain given the lack of manual controls on all NEX cameras but NEX-7). In Aperture priority with AutoISO when there is not enough light for ISO 100 the shutter speed is fixed to 1/60. This is very limiting: for example it's too slow for shooting kids who do not stay still. So you again need to tweak ISO manually so as to make sure that the shutter speed is right for the conditions (you can check my review of NEX-6 for more information on this issue). (N.B. other major camera systems and Sony's professional cameras do not have this limitation). 2. Bokeh fringing (purple and green colors in out-of-focus bright areas) is very strong. This is not unusual for fast primes but it's rather strong on this lens (although not worse than on the 50mm F1.8) Overall the bokeh is reasonably smooth but strong out-of-focus can some times be ugly and distracting: with onion-ring structures and weird shapes. So far I've only seen this come up only with bright lights in the dark scene (such as lights on a christmas tree) so I don't consider this a significant issue) Overall I still recommend this lens. Of course I wish it was cheaper but given its qualities it's priced reasonably compared to the competition. Hopefully the issue 1 will be resolved at some point (via firmware or at least on future cameras) and then the lens would deserve 5 stars.

This has become my go to lens. Its almost always the lens I leave attached on my camera. As an enthusiast, and not a pro, I don't have much to say about the technical brilliance of the photographs I can take with this lens. But I can say that it is brilliant at taking night shots, the bokeh is really pleasant, and I've got very pleasing portraits and landscapes with it. The OIS is very good, and results in eerily steady videos despite the fact that I don't take too much care to keep my hands shake free. The lens is quick to focus, and was readily compatible with the a6000's PDAF. Build quality wise, I love the old heavy lenses. This lens lacks that comforting heft, but the lens is light yet sturdy. It certainly doesn't feel cheap. With respect to cons, I would say that the "fly by wire" focus ring, which is an unfortunate presence in all Sony lenses, can sometimes be a pain. Its great to silently alter focus while taking videos, but not so intuitive when you need to quickly take some stills. The distance indicator in the new a6000, however, has gone a long way in making this length more usable. This, along with the SEL 50f18 are my two most used primes on my camera. The 35f18 is somewhat pricey, but I'd say it easily delivers all I could have hoped for at this price.

I have been eagerly anticipating the release of this lens for the last 3 months. I am pleased to say that it is definitely worth the wait. The lens feels solid and very sleek. It compliments my NEX 5n very well. In terms of performance, this lens surprisingly is approaching the 24mm Carl Zeiss territory at less than one half the price. Low light performance is excellent. In terms of speed, it is just marginally slower than the 24mm Carl Zeiss lens. Video quality is exceptional. I do not mind leaving this lens on my camera most of the time. In terms of the evolution of the NEX line, the lens production has lagged significantly behind that of the NEX cameras. Sony is moving in the right direction with the release of the latest NEX lenses . In order for Sony to hit it out of the park, the next step must be a 24mm ( 35mm equivalent ) cost effective alternative to the extremely expensive Carl Zeiss lens ( over $1,000 and no OSS) and expansion of the telephoto/ zoom SEL category beyond the current 200 to 210 mm lines.The beauty of this SEL 35mm/1.8 prime is that it is extremely compact and is a perfect fit for the revolutionary NEX camera line. How awesome would it be if Sony came up with a 300 mm ( 450mm full frame equivalent ) zoom lens or lets say an 55-300 mm all around compact lens. This would not force you to have to buy adapters to use Alpha SLR lenses, making the NEX cameras way too bulky, too heavy and defeating the purpose of the NEX line's intentions in the first place: an excellent alternative to the hefty DSLR camera without compromise in photo quality. Sony has hit a home run with the latest NEX 6 camera. I do not see any major benefits of stepping up to the NEX 6 without a full compliment of all around SEL lenses. In my opinion, this really takes the air out of the balloon. This 35 mm prime along with the retractable 16-50mm and the wide angle are exceptional lenses. In order for Sony to really solidify the NEX camera line, they must concurrently expand the lens category. The next logical step must be the production of new NEX telephotos and zooms !!!!! Back to this SEL 35/1.8 prime, I highly recommend it without reservation !!!!

Outstanding lens. Great for indoor / low light use. Using a prime does force you to move around to compose your shot, and occasionally it's a little long for indoor shots in tight spaces, but in general I find I get better composition with this than when using the wide end of the kit zoom. The tighter shots usually look better and have more subject and less background clutter. I love that I can take indoor shots at ISO 400 instead of 1600 all the time. Focusing is silent, so great for movies too (unlike the Touit 32mm). OSS works great, bokeh is great, and lens is very sharp. This lens is on my NEX-7 most of the time now. Only problems are some longitudinal chromatic aberration when shooting wide open in bright light -- this is not fixed by the internal CA compensation, but can be reduced or eliminated in post-processing by DxO Optics or PhotoNinja quite readily. Really, this is minor overall -- usually outdoors you can afford to stop down a little and it goes away. Also the narrow depth of field at f/1.8 takes some getting used to. Even with spot focusing, the NEX-7 may not know exactly what part of the face to focus on and it can make a big difference. Overall, highly recommended.

Ho comprato questa lente per montarla sulla Sony alpha 6600 come "prime" luminosa "normale" ed è perfetta per lo scopo. E' una lente solo APS-C, con una "focale equivalente" di 52 mm rapportata al full frame, quindi perfetta per l'uso tuttofare. E' compatta e leggera e si adatta perfettamente alle dimensioni contenute della 6600 senza sbilanciarla. Nonostante il peso ridotto (circa 150 g) l'ottica è stabilizzata e consente scatti fermi a mano libera con tempi di 1/15s senza alcuna difficoltà. E ben realizzata, con barilotto interamente di alluminio e attacco in acciaio. Ha una ghiera di messa a fuoco manuale che per chi come me non era abituato a sony è un po' "strana": infatti non muove direttamente le lenti ma agisce come servocomando per la messa a fuoco manuale che deve essere abilitata sul corpo macchina. Il suo pregio principale comunque sono le qualità ottiche: è una lente nitida anche a tutta apertura (f1.8) con buona resa sia al centro che ai bordi. Chiusa a f.2.8 migliora significativamente e da f4 in su è eccellente in tutto il fotogramma. A f1.8 ha un bokeh davvero bello e morbido, che è il motivo per cui l'ho comprata ed è perfetto per i ritratti. H anche un buon contrasto e una buona resa dei colori. Ancora più impressionante è l'autofocus: è un fulmine, mai provato nulla del genere! Oltre ad essere velocissimo è molto accurato e totalmente silenzioso perfetto per il fuoco continuo durante i video. La lente non si estende fuocheggiando pertanto non cambia il suo bilanciamento su Gimbal. L'unico difetto ottico che ho potuto notare è un po' di aberrazione cromatica (purple fringing a green fringing) nelle situazioni ad alto contrasto molto luminose, ma è perfettamente correggibile quindi non è un grosso problema. Complessivamente è una lente eccellente per la sua fascia e non credo si possa trovare nulla di meglio a questo prezzo e con queste dimensioni. Consigliatissima!

I bought this prime lens for my Sony a6000 after feeling a bit limited with the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens that came with it. I have to say that I am really glad I bought this lens, although it was also on sale at the time which sweetened the deal and I had kept an eye on it for a while. The difference between f3.5 on the kit lens and the f1.8 on this lens really is impressive, I have attached some photos of thistles that were shot on this lens at that f-number which are (in my opinion) really nice. There is also a long exposure shot attached as well that is shot at a much greater f11 for 13 seconds. The thing I like most about this prime lens is that it feels like a great upgrade to the kit lens as it forces you to develop new skills and try new techniques. For example, that long exposure shot was the first I had ever tried something like that before, I sort of knew what to do in theory but it was not until I found something I could rest my camera on (I did not have a tripod at this point), stick a filter on the front of the lens (which I had never used before) and punched in some ballpark settings for a long exposure shot and waited to see if it would work. I was so surprised at how well the photos came out (in my eyes). I think the great thing about this lens is it is sharp, it has the optical steady shot (OSS) stabilisation built into the lens, which the a6000 lacks in the body. Essentially meaning the lens will correct for hand shudder when you are not using a tripod. For a beginner like myself, or someone with a camera that lacks in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) it is a great bonus to have. I do not tend to shoot much video but from what I have read it becomes more important if you are walking around videoing or vlogging with it so it is worth bearing in mind if that is how you plan to use it. I was torn between this and the Sigma 30mm f1.4, which would be the main rival to this lens from what I can tell. I was undecided on which of the two I would buy until this lens came down in price on sale, and if I am honest, from what I have read you probably won't go wrong with either as they both get rave reviews. As this is a Sony lens I would imagine the autofocus is slightly better than the Sigma but I can't honestly say that as I do not have the Sigma lens to compare, the autofocus is good but it can struggle in certain situations, although I am not skilled enough to know if that is due to error on my part in those situations! In conclusion, I am really happy with this lens, I feel like the main reason I got this prime lens was to try and develop new skills which is exactly what I have been able to do. It is light, compact, has OSS and comes with it's own lens hood and rear cap - which for some reason the kit lens lacks - which are all nice attributes for this as a whole package. If you are in doubt about what to get, read reviews and watch youtube clips about them, I found that really helpful. It feels like a bit of a risk every time you spend money on a lens and I felt the same when buying this, but I am really glad I did. Hope this helps!

Black Friday döneminin ortasında olmasına rağmen akşam sipariş ettiğim bu ürin ertesi sabah elimdeydi. Kit lens haricinde bir lens almayı düşünenlere bu lensi rahatlıkla önerebilirim. Auto-Focus hızı, keskinliği, bokeh etkisi fiyatına göre tatmin edici.

Paket kam wie gewohnt schnell an. Da bei Amazon leider nicht mehr selbstverständlich wurde es sofort ausgepackt und unter einer hellen Lampe auf Gebrauchsspuren untersucht – soweit so gut. Nun zum Objektiv, es fühlt sich hochwertig an. Metallgehäuse mit Fokusring (ebenfalls aus Metall) welcher sich sehr angenehm weich aber doch mit dem richtigen Widerstand drehen lässt. An einer Stelle fühlte ich beim drehen etwas kratzen, dafür muss man aber sehr feinfühlig sein und sich noch dazu sehr darauf konzentrieren. Ok, damit kann man leben. Endlich kam der ersehnte Moment. Das Objektiv wurde gegen das Kit-Objektiv getauscht und rastete perfekt an der A6000 mit einem leisen Klick ein. Noch geprüft ob es fest sitzt und kein Spiel hat. Perfekt! Kamera eingeschaltet und das Objektiv wurde selbstverständlich wie nicht anders zu erwarten von der Kamera sofort übernommen bzw. hatte man das Gefühl als hätte die Kamera auf dieses Objektiv schon sehnsüchtigst gewartet. Der Autofokus ist wie gewohnt sehr schnell und als wüsste es die Kamera wird fast immer das richtige Motiv scharf gestellt. Auch der Gesichtsfokus und der Augenfokus (die A6000 kann auch Augen fokusieren) funktioniert sehr schnell, treffsicher und reibungslos. Ich liebe den Augenfokus! Das Licht, die Farben, das Bokeh, die Schärfe... alles sieht sehr natürlich aus, so als würde man es in echt betrachten. Mir fiel auf, wenn man durch den Sucher im Live-View sieht und dabei das zweite Auge (welches, wenn man durch den Sucher blickt normal geschlossen wäre) öffnet, dann verschmelzen beide Blickwinkeln zu einem und man merkt wie nahe die 35mm (Vollformat ca. 52mm) dem menschlichen Blickwinkel kommen. (fast identisch!) Ich denke dies trägt einen großen Teil dazu bei warum die meisten Bilder mit diesem Objektiv einfach gelingen und angenehm zu betrachten sind. Leider gab es kurz nach dem ersten Foto auch schon den ersten Rückschlag, welcher fast zu einer voreiligen Rücksendung führte. Das klick oder klack Geräusch welches sich nun im ruhigen Raum bei jedem halb durchdrücken des Auslösers ausbreitete, kotzte mich richtig an. Ich wollte es nicht wahr haben, dass dieses perfekt scheinende Objektiv defekt ist also erkundigte ich mich in diversen Foren und trat auch mit einem technischen Kundendienst von Sony in Kontakt. Es stellte sich heraus, dass dieses klack – Geräusch anscheinend Weltweit bei diesem Objektiv für Verwirrung sorgt, es sich aber lediglich (und das kann ich nun auch selbst bestätigen) um die Blende handelt. Und zwar ist bauartbedingt bei diesem Objektiv das Blendengeräusch wohl etwas lauter bzw. breitet sich der Schall so aus dass es lauter wirkt. Im Vollautomatik-Modus oder im P-Modus öffnet sich beim halb durchdrücken des Auslösers die Blende sodass der Autofokus mehr Licht zum fokusieren bekommt und geht beim durchdrücken des Auslösers auf eine wiederrum andere Blendeneinstellung (vermute mal um mehr Tiefenschärfe zu bekommen) zu und macht eben dabei dieses Geräusch. Die Blende geht auch beim ausschalten der Kamera zu, folglich eventuell ebenfalls leises „Klack“ beim ausschalten der Kamera Neben diesen leisen klack – Geräusch taucht bei ruhiger Umgebung (stille) noch ein weiteres Geräusch auf, und zwar ein leises surren des OSS - Bildstabilisators. Ist aber nicht weiters erwähnenswert, da dies von Objektiven mit OSS ein normales Arbeitsgeräusch ist. Der Autofokus arbeitet wie man auch öfters liest z.B. im Vergleich mit dem Sigma 30mm fast Geräuschlos. Man sollte sich daher von diesen Geräuschen nicht irritieren lassen, es macht das Objektiv nicht schlechter, im Gegenteil, da sie wie schon erwähnt bei anderen Objektiven ebenfalls auftreten bzw. sogar lauter sind. Diesen Informationen zufolge landete ich bei meiner A6000 im A-Modus - welcher einem die Möglichkeit bietet die Blendenöffnung selbst zu bestimmen. Somit war nicht nur das Blendengeräusch weg, sondern es öffnete sich eine ganz andere Art zu fotografieren. Im A-Modus kann man schnell selbst entscheiden ob man ein angenehm weiches Bokeh oder eine Tiefenschärfe bis ins letzte Eck möchte. Die Bilder sind schon ab F1.8 scharf und werden natürlich mit jeder Blendenstufe schärfer. Ich bewege mich meisten im Bereich von F1.8 bis F5.6 und bekomme immer schöne scharfe Bilder. Die Lichtstärke ist in Kombination mit dem OSS Bildstabilisator ein Wahnsinn. Das Objektiv lässt somit freihändiges fotografieren bei wenig Licht zu. Ich fotografiere fast ausschließlich aus der Hand. Fotos in z.B. Innenräumen bei wenig Licht sind nicht nur möglich sondern setzen neue Grenzen. Auch für Street-Fotografie bei Nacht ist dieses Objektiv ein Traum. Ich fotografiere eigentlich immer ohne Stativ und verwacklungsfreie Fotos mit 1/5 Sekunde aus der Hand sind machbar. Im Bereich Größe ist das Objektiv eindeutig unschlagbar. Ich liebe es wie kompakt es ist. In Kombination mit der A6000 eine gigantisch kompakte sowie Qualitativ hochwertige Combo. Ich konnte es gar nicht glauben, als es ohne Probleme in meiner Jackentasche verschwand! Es macht Spass so leicht untwerwegs zu sein! Klar muss man bei 35mm eventuell zwei Schritte zurückgehen - wenn man vorher weniger gewohnt war, jedoch ist dies nicht weiter schlimm, man gewöhnt sich sehr schnell daran. Achja, CA's sind vorhanden jedoch nehme ich diese bei den ansonsten ausschließlich positiven Punkten gerne in kauf. Sollten die CA's stören, lassen sich diese sehr leicht in der Bearbeitung entfernen auch im jpeg Format. Die gezeigten Fotos sind alle unbearbeitete jpeg's und somit out of the box!

Compré este objetivo para mi Sony a6400 y no puedo estar más contento. En su momento prioricé un teleobjetivo, pero me arrepiento de no haber adquirido este desde el primer día. Al montarlo, la cámara se convierte en un equipo sumamente compacto y ligero (apenas pesa 154 g), ideal para llevar a cualquier parte sin enterarte. Aunque por sus 35 mm (equivalentes a unos 52 mm en APS-C) es ideal para retratos, me lo llevé de vacaciones como objetivo único y el resultado fue fantástico. No saqué el tele de la mochila en todo el viaje. Al ser una focal fija, te obliga a moverte, a estar más atento y a buscar mejor el encuadre, lo cual mejora tu técnica.La nitidez es brutal, la noche y el día comparado con el objetivo del kit. Su apertura F1.8 ofrece un bokeh precioso y me ha permitido hacer fotos en interiores sin flash con una luminosidad de otro nivel. Un acierto absoluto.
