Compact and versatile
FEATURES
A versatile, multi-purpose lens
with a focal length of 52.5mm (35mm equivalency) and F1.8 aperture,
it’s good for snapshots, portraits, night shots and more
Compact and easy to carry
lightweight and only around 45mm long, it’s an ideal second lens for when
you’re out and about
Crisper, cleaner results
new optical design reduces spherical aberration and improves contrast even out
on the periphery for crisp, sharp image detail
Built-in image stabilisation
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilisation and a large F1.8 aperture enhance
handheld shooting in fading light or dimly lit interiors
Smooth, silent operation
both the motor controlling focus and the one that controls aperture are quiet,
smooth and unobtrusive, ideal for shooting video
Fine tune your focus
if AF (Auto Focus) can’t lock on or focuses on the wrong subject, step in and
take total control with DMF (Direct Manual Focus)
Smooth things out with ED glass
Extra-Low Dispersion glass and two aspherical lens elements minimise distortion
and improve image quality
Discover beauty in the blur
the circular aperture, a hallmark of E-mount lenses, lets you capture beautiful
foreground and background blur effects
Built to last and a joy to use
with a tactile aluminium alloy finish, the lens combines outstanding quality
with easy operability
E 35mm F1.8 OSS (SEL35F18)
An ideal second lens, the SEL35F18 prime lens can handle anything from evening
shots (thanks to the bright maximum aperture) to beautifully defocused
portraits.
Capture smooth, blur-free images
Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilisation within the lens ensures
smooth, blur-free photos and videos when shooting handheld.
Smooth defocusing
Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-blade
circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing or ‘bokeh’.
Refined optical performance
Aspherical lens elements minimise distortion while ED (Extra-low Dispersion)
glass elements provide superior contrast, resolution, and colour fidelity.
Fast, agile focusing
An internal focusing mechanism means the lens barrel doesn’t move, enabling a
more compact design, faster autofocus response, and reduced minimum focusing
distances.
