Lightweight, compact and affordable – this is how we can describe the just announced SONY FE 35mm f/1.8 lens. The f/1.8 aperture allows the lens to remain small and well balanced on both APS-C and full-frame Sony cameras.

Some other, not so obvious things, make this lens very desirable addition to each camera bag. Either for Professionals, enthusiasts or beginners. The linear auto-focus motor for quickly and accurately locking onto your subject, the customizable focus hold button, as well as the small minimum focus distance of just 0.22cm (0.73ft) will be a huge advantage over the older Sony FE 28mm f/2 lens.

Together with the 50mm FE f/1.8 (or Zeiss 55mm f/1.8) and the 85mm FE f/1.8, the new 35mm FE f/1.8 lens completes a wonderful affordable trio of Prime f/1.8 lenses. When add the more expensive, professional 24mm f/1.4 GM and 135mm f/1.8 GM we have very respectful lineup of prime lenses, ready to cover all photography needs. The lens will certainly go in our Wish list, will it go in yours?
