Sharp & clear from corner-to-corner
The 2 ASP (aspherical) and 2 HR (high refractive) elements in this new AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II lens deliver stunning contrast and amazing resolution. Samyang’s advanced coating technology maintains superb image clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions. The corner-to-corner sharpness is maintained even at maximum aperture, so optical performance is consistent at all exposure settings.

Extremely narrow depth of field with refined beautiful bokeh
The f/1.4 maximum aperture of this new AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II lens makes it easier to capture clear images in low light, and amazing out-of-focus images. A 9-blade circular aperture design creates the stunning beautifully blurred background at a narrow depth of field. Its smooth bokeh and blurred background can make subjects stand out in images with deep dimensional impact.

Faster, precise, quiet AF performance
Samyang’s Linear Stepping Motor (STM) provides the high-thrust efficiency needed for fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking, thus maximizing the advantages of Sony E-Mount cameras. Compared to the previous AF 35mm f/1.4 FE, this new AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II is optimized for not only photo shooting, but also video shooting by minimizing vibration and noise. Tracking the subject accurately and quickly, the AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video. Samyang’s Linear STM satisfies both photographers and videographers with quieter and more accurate control of the focusing lens groups.

Short minimum focal distance 29 cm
The minimum focal distance is just 29 cm, making the lens even more versatile. It is possible to produce impressive close-ups, even capturing small details, at very close to the subject. With a short minimum focal distance and large aperture of the AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II, you can get close-ups by highlighting the subject with a smoothly expressed background!

Enhanced operability
Important features of the AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II include: Customizable 1) Focus hold button & 2) Custom switch. Overall, this is a lens that meets professional requirements for control and reliability, for both stills and videos.

• Focus Hold Button. Pressing this button on the lens will keep the lens locked to that focusing distance. You can assign functions such as Eye AF in settings on the camera body.
• Custom Switch. There is a custom switch, which can be set to allow adjustment of the aperture silently, by rotating the focus ring. Using the optional Lens Station, you can set up the mode to suit your own preference.

Modern design & weather-sealing
The AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II has been developed and enhanced, taking into consideration not only the design but also the user’s shooting environment. It has a stylish silver ring, matt finish, and weather-sealing (4 spots) which also protects the lens from light rain, snow, and dust.
