Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II Lens for Sony E

The 2 ASP (aspherical) 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. Furthermore, the AF 35mm F1.4 FE II provides more clearer images through CCI (Colour Contribution Index) improvement. 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. 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, even when shooting handheld. A 9-blade circular aperture design enhances its capability for stunningly beautiful background bokeh when desired. Smooth bokeh can make subjects stand out in images with deep dimensional impact. Important features of the AF 35mm F1.4 FE II include: Customizable Focus Hold Button and Custom Switch. Pressing the Focus Hold Button on the lens will keep the lens locked to that focusing distance. You can assign functions such as Eye AF in settings on the camera. The Custom Switch can be set to allow adjustment of the aperture silently, by rotating the focus ring. Using the optional Lens Station, you can set up the mode to suit your own preference. Minimum focal distance is just 29cm (0.95ft), making the lens even more versatile. It is possible to produce unique perspective close to the subject and makes it easier to take portraits with exaggerated features, food on tables, etc.
