SEL-35F18
NEX Lens (E 35mm F1.8 OSS)
Compact, lightweight xed F1.8 lens
This compact, large-aperture, xed focal length lens has a focal length of 52.5 mm (35 mm equivalency) and is
approximately 1-3/4” (45mm) long. Compact and easy to carry around, this bright lens makes an ideal “second
lens” with the capability to handle a wide variety of shooting situations — from landscapes and snaps around
town to lovely portraits with beautiful background blur.
New optical design
Newly designed optics reduces spherical aberration and coma, delivering performance similar to Sonnar T* E
24mm f/1.8 ZA and E 50mm f/1.8 OSS in the central area of the lens, and equal or better contrast at the periphery.
The results are clean, sharp images even when shooting wide open.
Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization
The built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system provides a 4-stop (approx.) shutter speed advantage,
making it signicantly easier to achieve crisp, blur-free images and video.
Silent and smooth focusing for shooting movies
The quiet, high-speed linear motor in SEL-35F18 controls focus while an in-lens stepping motor in the actuator
controls the aperture. Together they provide extremely quiet operation and smooth focusing as well as quiet and
uid aperture control. These motors are ideal for shooting video since they eliminate the worry of excessive lensdrive noise.
Superb focusing operation
The SEL-35F18 supports DMF (Direct Manual Focus), which enables users to resume manual focusing directly aer
obtaining focus with AF. This is particularly useful when AF cannot lock onto a subject or continually focuses on an
unintended one. It also facilitates ne focusing when shooting portraits with a shallow depth of eld.
Circular Aperture
In low-light shots or nightscapes, out-of-focus light sources have a pleasing circular defocused eect.
