Sony Sonnar T FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA Camera Lens

Capture awe-inspiring images with the help of Sony SEL35F28Z Sonnar T FE 35mm F2.8 ZA Camera Lens. This convenient little accessory is compact enough for the α7 series, but with a design that delivers bright, consistent pictures under a wide range of lighting conditions. The three double-sided aspherical elements minimize aberration, while the ZEISS T coating emphasizes natural color reproduction for better contrast and outstanding resolution. The dust and moisture resistant design safeguards against outdoor elements, so you can trust the lens to perform consistently in moderately wet or dusty conditions. For some added flair, adjust the seven-bladed circular aperture to create appealing ‘bokeh’ effects for a more natural look.

Beautiful Bokeh and Low Light Performance

While bright lenses are often large, Sony’s new focus lens group design allows a large maximum aperture in a compact lens. The maximum F2.8 aperture enables shooting in a wide range of lighting conditions, with consistent image quality at all apertures. Meanwhile, a circular aperture design contributes to gorgeous bokeh for smoothly defocused backgrounds.

Perfect Performance for the α7 Series

An ideal match for full-frame α7 series bodies, this lens delivers high resolution images in a lightweight, compact, and portable design. An internal focus mechanism keeps the length of the lens consistent, even while zooming in and out.

ZEISS Resolution from Corner to Corner

The three double-sided aspherical elements and ZEISS T coating helps you take consistently outstanding pictures with high resolution and excellent contrast. Enjoy reduced spherical aberration and minimized flare for a more natural color reproduction.

Outstanding Color and Contrast

The ZEISS T coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced color and contrast that give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.

Shoot with Confidence Anywhere

Some of the most exciting images are captured in challenging environments. A dust and moisture resistant design means that the lens will continue to perform reliably in moderately wet or dusty conditions, so you can shoot with confidence wherever those great shots are found.

Seven-Bladed Circular Aperture

The 7-blade circular makes it possible to achieve smoother, more natural defocusing in your images. Get creative with artistic blurring or 'bokeh' - and greater control over the depth of field.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent I use this lents in my A7III and this is excellent combination

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb Lens This lens is sharp from edge to edge. Lightweight and well built as one would expect from Sony/Zeiss.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a Banger! What a banger! I wish all primes were this good and this small. It's 35mm, so I don't care if it doesn't open up to 1.4 and neither should you, unless your goal is to impress people on Y**Tube. 2.8 is thin enough for most things that it's worth the tradeoff not to have a family-size can of soup sticking off the front of your camera. The *retail* price is a little high, but within the field of 35mm prime options, I think it was worth it. I just wish every lens came with a programmable focus hold button on the side. I know it's too much to ask, but seriously.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect - Great Street Photography and Much More Equipped with my A7R III, I simply do not need an F-Stop lower unless I need more bokeh that a smaller aperture would offer for portrait photography with a 35mm lens. The bokeh on this lens is great for portraits. My typical day time street photography is usually done at a range of 4.0 to 8.0 and this lens is a beast such that a 2.8 F-Stop is just fine. An aperture of 1.4 or 1.8 on the 35 mm prime lens is much larger and would not accommodate my particular needs for size. The low light performance on my A7R III is spectacular as well as my older A7 using this 35 mm lens. I can toss this into my backpack being my go to lens for landscape and casual portrait photography. I use a 50mm or 85mm at 1.8 F-stop for posed portraits but usually I do more street photography, landscapes, and family candid shots such that the 35mm 2.8 works better for my needs with great resolution detail. A great overall lens.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small and might (sharp)! This has become my favourite Sony full-frame lens ... 35mm is a sweet spot for many genres of photography and this is a great 35mm among many others that are available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great clarity for the money Not the fastest but still very sharp. Made for a very compact high grade camera to take on vacation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lens for the A6500. Bought this lens when I purchased my A6000. Works great on the crop sensor. Almost I repeat almost a 50mm lens with the crop. But it's not. But almost. Looks great is very small. Great travel lens. Now I've upgraded to the A6500 and wow even better photos. Love this lens.
