An effective take on a popular focal length, the Sony E-mount AF 35mm f/1.8 FE from Rokinon is a wide-angle prime mixing a lightweight and portable design with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture. The optical design incorporates two high refractive index elements and two aspherical elements, which help to suppress both chromatic and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness, color accuracy, and clarity. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to reduce flare and ghosting in order to achieve higher contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. The lens's linear STM autofocus motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras' AF systems for quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance, and manual focus override is also available for more refined control. Additionally, a Custom Switch enables making intuitive adjustments of a variety of camera and exposure settings by rotating the lens's focusing ring.

Rokinon 35mm f/1.8 AF Reviews
A Really Nice Lens - Reasonably Priced
By Robert
Rated 4 out of 5

For an inexpensive 35mm lens, this thing is really sharp. You would have to spend 3X as much to get better. A little bit of distortion on the outer-most edges and some very slight chromatic aberration on high contrast areas but both are super simple to correct in Lightroom. I love this lens for street photography - gives a nice out of focus background at f1.8. You get way more lens than the price would suggest.
