Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS Overview

Stabilized Normal Prime for APS-C
Delivering a "normal-length" 52.5mm equivalent on APS-C-format E-mount cameras, the E 35mm f/1.8 OSS Lens from Sony is a versatile and lightweight option that will fit a variety of shooting scenarios. It offers a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture for working in difficult lighting conditions and image stabilization also aids in making sharp imagery when shooting handheld.
Optical Design
  • A maximum aperture of f/1.8 offers excellent low-light imaging capabilities along with the ability to create images with a shallow depth of field.
  • Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
  • One extra-low dispersion glass element is featured in the lens design to help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.
  • Two aspherical elements are incorporated in the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.
Image Stabilization and Autofocus
  • Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.
  • An internal focus mechanism contributes to faster, more responsive autofocus, the minimum focus distance of 11.8", and easier handling as the lens does not change in length during use.

Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS Reviews

Nice lens.  Not sure I'd get it again.

This lens covers all the basics nicely. Lens flare is managed well with the lens hood. With an A6600 body, the lens with the hood on all rests flat on a table. Autofocus is quick and accurate enough. Optics are pretty good when using the lens profile in PhotoShop. I do like the 49mm filter thread. As that is common on a fair number of other APS lenses. I do find it annoying to not have an AF/MF switch on the body. Particularly for a lens of this price. Other than that, I can't think of any grips. Except..... what you get for the price. It isn't that I don't like the lens. But if I had to do it over again, I likely would either get a TTArtisan 35/1.8. As I suspect it may have similar lens performance for much less cost. Or get the full frame version of the Sony 35. So that I can get double duty with the same lens on a full frame and A6600 camera. Without having to give up lens speed.

This is a great prime lens with rapid autofocus and OSS for my ZVe10ii camera. I live the creamy bokeh!

question

How would this lens perform on the A7r? Will it have any noticeable distortion running full-frame or is it designed for it?
Asked by: Anonymous
While the 35mm f/1.8 can be used on the Sony a7R, it is not a full frame lens. So, the camera would need to be in the crop sensor mode.

When active stabilization is active on the zv-e10 does it crop the lens even further than the already cropped 52mm ?

I’m confused. So in the end, does it look like a 35mm image or 52.5mm on a sony apsc camera?
Asked by: Brian
Yes, the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS Lens only covers an APS-C sensor, so it will seem longer than a 35mm lens would on a full-frame camera. So, it will give you more the angle of view of a 52.5mm lens on a full-frame camera.

question

Can this be used with the Sony a57?
Asked by: Anonymous
No, the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS Alpha E-mount Prime Lens is not compatible with the Sony Alpha SLT-A57 DSLR Digital Camera. The Sony Alpha SLT-A57 DSLR Digital Camera has a Sony A-mount (Minolta MAXXUM lens mount), while the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS Alpha E-mount Prime Lens uses the newer, smaller Sony E-mount. There is no adapter that would allow you to connect the above lens onto the Sony SLT-A57 DSLR camera.
