This benefits working with circular polarizers and graduated ND filters. A linear stepping motor is used for silent and precise operation.
The built-in switch allows you to use the focus ring to control aperture, and features full time focus override.
Making deliberate use of their ultra multicoating technology, Samyang has equipped this lens with two high refractive index elements and two aspherical elements to help control spherical aberrations and distortions for improved sharpness, resolution, and clarity.
Excellent Resolution with Large Aperture F1.4
Perfect Lens for both Photographers & Videographers
Sharp & Clear
from Corner-to-Corner
The 2 ASP(aspherical) and 2 HR(high refractive) elements in this new AF 35mm F1.4 FE II lens deliver stunning contrast and amazing resolution. Samyang's advanced coating technology maintains superb image clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions. The corner-to-corner sharpness is maintained even at maximum aperture, so optical performance is consistent at all exposure settings.
Extremely Narrow Depth of Field
with Refined Beautiful Bokeh
The F1.4 maximum aperture of this new AF 35mm F1.4 FE II lens makes it easier to capture clear images in low light, and amazing out-of-focus images. A 9-blade circular aperture design creates the stunning beautifully blurred background at a narrow depth of field. Its smooth bokeh and blurred background can make subjects stand out in images with deep dimensional impact.
Auto Focus Performance
Samyang’s Linear Stepping Motor (STM) provides the high-thrust efficiency needed for fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking, thus maximizing the advantages of Sony E-Mount cameras. Compared to the previous AF 35mm F1.4 FE, this new AF 35mm F1.4 FE II is optimized for not only photo shooting, but also video shooting by minimizing vibration and noise. Tracking the subject accurately and quickly, the AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video. Samyang's Linear STM satisfies both photographers and videographers with quieter and more accurate control of the focusing lens groups.
Short Minimum Focal Distance 0.29m (0.95ft)
The minimum focal distance is just 29cm (0.95ft), making the lens even more versatile. It is possible to produce impressive close-ups, even capturing small details, at very close to the subject. With a short minimum focal distance and large aperture of the AF 35mm F1.4 FE II, you can get close-ups by highlighting the subject with a smoothly expressed background!
