    My favorite travel lens, but still only 3 stars

    This is my new favorite travel lens! I just came from the Zeiss 35mm Distagon lens and I feel like that lens has way more chromatic aberration and is also way less sharp. The only thing that would make this lens better is that if the USA could figure out how to make one in the USA, so I'll knock off two points for that...3/5

    Small and light for a f1.4 prime.

    This is a great, fast 35mm prime. The best part is the smaller size and weight compared to other 35mm f1.4 primes. Fast and silent autofocus is a plus.

    Great for photo but Focus Breathing is TERRIBLE!

    Great for photo but... If you are a video shooter or content creator looking for a lens that is good for both photo and video stay away from this lens because the focus breathing is absolutely horrendous it has ruined a ton of shots. I will be picking up the 35mm 1.8 instead. If Sony adds focus breathing compensation to the A7Siii / FX3 then this lens would be usable for video but until then I will be using something else with my FX3 and A7c. If you are shooting on the Sony A7iv then this is irrelevant since that camera body does have Focus Breathing Compensation.
