[9, Rounded] Im photographer and videographer I use in crop mode when i film 35 is 52 f 1.4 ....just amazing bokeh The face detect to A7rll make a delicious frames in my camera.

[9, Rounded] I was shooting with Canon for a decade before switching to Sony and never got to experience the joy of having a flagship 35mm lens in my arsenal during the time. This lens has simply been lens GOALS. I now own a Sony Alpha a9 and the Sony Alpha a7R III as my duo.

I am a photographer that shoots portraits for MANY different applications and genres, from fashion, to beauty, to commercial, to editorial, lifestyle, art, everything. I like to have a lot of environment in my shots, so this lens is literally perfection for that cause. At f/1.4, you can shoot a full-body shot wide open and get the majority of details in clothing and face with a pleasantly smooth background.� When I need a lot of background in my shot, no other lens adds a such a sense of dimension and belonging in my shots. Closing the lens up results in tack-sharp imagery. Landscapes are incredibly on this lens. Incredible sharpness edge to edge and colors seem so pure.

The focus is incredibly fast & snappy on both the a9 & a7R3 and even in lowlight, it finds the target. I've heard a lot of things about this lens being heavy for a mirrorless lens and yes - if you're speaking in terms of mirrorless everything. For those like myself, who are used to heavy lenses like Sigma Art & Canon L optics, this lens actually feels pretty light for what it looks like.

One thing I will mention is that if you are used to changing aperture on your camera, I recommend leaving the aperture ring on the lens to "A", otherwise you will have to use the ring each and every time for changes. =]

[7.5 x 5 x 4.9"] No suelo escribir reviews, pero despues de 20 aos de nikon y canon, de tener los mejores vidrios serie L y G y de usar el 135 f 2 de canon, para mi uno de los mejores lentes que use.
Debo decir que nada, y digo nada que ha pasado por mis manos se acerca a esto
Solo disparo en 1.4 y a veces en 1.8
Solo avisarte que he tenido todo el equipo sony , batis, zeiss 55 zooms y otros, ahora solo tengo esto y un 24-105 para los viajes

[Autofocus] The character of this lens is superb. I find myself constantly gravitating toward it. Focus is fast and absolutely silent wide open. Super sharp and has that Zeiss pop that we all love.

[2.2 lb] This is the best lens I have used for my Sony. After the first shots with the lens, the photos were so crisp that I forgot the price tag!

[Full-Frame] I couldn't be happier with this lens and the color rendering. It's sharp throughout and performs quickly and quietly.

[Autofocus] I've had this for a bit now and I can't seem to get it off the camera.

[72 mm (Front)] The copy of the Sony Distagon I received, after examining numerous, brick wall and other images at f/1.4 and other apertures at various distances showed no evidence of the right-side lens tilt or decentering that this lens is often accused of. Of course, I don't own an optical bench; who knows what that might reveal, but to my eyes, the lens' characteristics appeared to conform pretty closely to the DXOMark test measurements. This is not a perfect lens. I'd prefer that it had an on-lens, auto-manual switch; it doesn't. I'd also prefer that it was sharper in the corners, wide open. I also wish the aperture settings on the Sony went to F/22 instead of just F16. But that's not a deal breaker for me. I'm very satisfied with the image quality of this lens and have included a few of images with minimum post processing and some cropping in Lightroom; two at f/1.4 and the other at f/16. Basically, you have to work with this lens' strengths. This means, for example, when recording images with the lens fully open and up to f/2.2, center focusing without recomposing and composing with crops during processing. Where this lens really shines is between f/2.8 and f/11, where its easily as sharp as my Sony FE 55mm f/1.8. Fully open at f/1.4, the lens does an excellent job of isolating a subject with a very decently smooth, blurred background. For me, this means close-up work reproduction ratio is ca. 0.2 with found objects, flowers, etc., and some portraiture. I don't tend to do a lot of low-light work, but the capability is there if I need it. Except at low light, where the lens hunts a bit, the auto focus is superb in all modes. I don't do video, so I can't really assess the lens' capabilities for video capture. All in all, this lens is capable of delivering stunning images, so long as one learns and accepts its characteristics and plays to its strengths. If I could, I would rate this lens at 4.5, but I'm rounding up to a 5, because it is really is a pleasure to use.

[63°] If you are A7R II shooter, this is the lens to die for or put it another way, this a lens makes want to purchase the A7R II. The quality and performance is truely exceptional. It is heavier and larger than the Sony Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA but it feels right when shooting. I suspect it will also be a great lens for the A7S II as the manual focus is so smooth and easily managed while shooting.

[72 mm (Front)] I purchased this in late July for low light game drives in Kruger National Park. All my "at home" testing has been superb.
