bite gadgets Sony Boosts Full-Frame Lens Line-Up with Introduction of 35mm F1.8 Lightweight Prime New Gadgets on the Go Images courtesy of Sony Europe E lectronics giant Sony has expanded their E-mount full-frame lens range with the introduction of model SEL35F18F, FE 35mm F1.8 large-aperture wide-angle prime lens. The compact dimensions and light weight of this full-frame large-aperture prime lens provide mobility and convenience for shooting a wide range of subjects from everyday snapshots, food photography, landscapes, night scenes and more. It also provides outstanding corner-to-corner image quality from a maximum F1.8 aperture and has quiet autofocus and tenacious tracking performances that make it a great choice for both stills and movie shooting. As well as having a large F1.8 maximum aperture, the SEL35F18F has smart optical construction including an aspherical element to suppress aberration and deliver high resolution throughout the entire image frame with a 9-blade circular aperture that enables beautiful bokeh. It carries a minimum focus distance of 0.22 metres and a maximum magnification of 0.24x, offering easy access to the world of close-up photography. You don’t have to reach far for a convenient place with a customisable focus hold button and a focus mode switch for instantaneous switching between auto and manual focus. Fast, precise and quiet, the linear-motor AF drive system provides a precise focus for both stills and movies where ‘wobbling’ is em- ployed for delicate continuous focus control. “A 35mm prime lens is a go-to lens for so many photographers as its versatility means that it is the right choice for so many different kinds of shot,” said Yann Salmon-Legagneur, Director of Product Marketing for Digital Imaging at Sony Europe. “Our new 35mm FE lens combines brilliant corner-to-corner clarity with a truly lightweight design and we are confident that it will appeal to a wide range of stills and movie shooters.” The FE 35mm F1.8 will be available in Eu- rope from August 2019. https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/cam- era-lenses/sel35f18f
