By using one ED lens, chromatic aberration is well suppressed. This compact, lightweight, and dust-*, splash-*, and low-temperature resistant lens is easy to carry and dependable, even when shooting outdoors. * Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water. • L-Mount is a trademark or registered trademark of Leica Camera AG. • Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

It features a common size and position of control parts with the other series of F1.8 lenses (S-S85, S-S50, S-S24 and this S-S35), with a center of gravity that is almost the same, so it is easy to exchange lenses quickly with minimum balance adjustment when the camera is on a gimbal.

The minimum focusing distance of 0.24m allows it to be used for close-up shots. The S-S35 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change for recording professional quality video.
