Sony - Sonnar T FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA Wide-Angle Lens for Most a7-Series Cameras - Black

Here's the thing. I'm a lens junkie. Have been since I can remember. There was a long period when I wasn't shooting all that much. along came digital and my addiction resurfaced. I'm not shooting with Sony Nex and A7 cameras. Over the past several years, I've built up a collection of Leica, Minolta, Olympus and Canon lenses. All of them adapted to work on my e-mount cameras. I chose the FE 35mm as I had no native autofocus lenses for my A7 and I have several 50mm lenses already and only one wide angle option a Leica 28mm Elmarit. This Zeiss lens is most likely the best lens in my collection. Auto focus is quick. Color and contrast are excellent. Images require very little adjustment in Lightroom. This lens is a keeper.

Not like literally hot of course, but if you're an A7 Series owner, this is a must have piece of glass! The quality of the photos is can produce are astounding and almost unbelievable when you think of how small it is. Yes the f/1.4 is amazing with an aperture 2 stops greater, but in a body immensely larger. When this lens is attached to the body of my A7II, I can't even notice it's there. It's possibly the best all around, versatile as heck, small profile native lens available for the camera right now. If you enjoy taking street, architecture, landscapes, and portraits with amazing bokeh, this lens is a must and you won't regret adding it to your kit.

Like many others, I have $$$$$$ dollars invested in one lens or another. By physics, these lens get rather large sometimes depending on what is being done. Sometimes, you just miss the good 'ol days of point and shoot cameras being small. This prime lens does just that for my A7R3 without compromising on image quality. This lens is my go to lens for my A7R3 that is now a great and compact travel camera. The lens is crisp from edge to edge and bokeh is nice. An ideal perfect lens for my needs.

I got this lens for my a7iii, specifically for video. From weddings to cinematic creatives, this lens does not disappoint.

Expensive but super sharp and silen auto focus. Rokinon35mm and Samyang35m are good alternative if you are in lower budget

Excellent! I am extremely satisfied with the quality and speed of this lens.

Very sharp lens, and it’s size is perfect for traveling.

I recently bought a Sony a7rii (42MP full frame), and the incredible 55mm prime Zeiss lens. I wanted something in the mild wide angle range, and bought this Zeiss 35mm prime. Everyone raves about the 55mm and its sharpness, but this 35mm is also incredibly sharp, it's a convenient focal length, and nice and small. I just made a panorama with three landscape (horizontal) shots (using hugin) and the result is amazing - when I zoom into the image I can see the lens is giving all the detail the 42MP sensor can record across the whole field of view. This is now my default lens, even in preference to the 55mm.
