Everyone should own THIS 35mm lens | Sony 35mm 1.8 Review 

This lens isn't the latest or "greatest" but for video shooters, it's definitely one to check out. Especially if your camera doesnt support focus breathing compensation.

Great, concise review! Definitely planning to pick this lens up.

I've been using the Zeiss 35 1.4 since 2017. Love it, but thinking of downsizing for overseas shooting. The size difference is amazing.. I might test it out before purchasing.

Like the compactness of your review. Had the both sigma 1.4 versions of 35mm but sold them both. Now back to this little baby. It’s so fast and the minimum focus distance is very helpful

hi there. i dont do video. Aside of build quality, what else that GM has better than this lens? I have budget for GM but Im wondering if I should take this lens instead. Im casual photographer that mostly shoot while traveling or family events.

This or the zeiss 55mm t lens or the 85mm Sony lads? Will these be sharper then 24-70 gm ii?

is it bettr than sigma 35 1.4 dg dn?

Underrated RU-vidr. Phenomenal video, awesome RU-vidr

Thanks-great, concise review! I wonder how this compares with the 40mm f/2.5 sony lens (besides the obvious specs differences).

I love this lens on the FX6 and A7 IV. Value, quality

where is the picture you took?

Just got this for my A7s2

I own the g master and legit consider this one for it's portability factor.

I sold this to get the 1.4 Gm. I should've kept it. The gm is better for photos but the focus breathing is terrible for video. The 35mm 1.8 is way better for video and gimbal work. It's also a nice street lens because of it's size.

Hi! I lost my cap for my lens, do you know which one I can find on amazon? the size for them?

I bought this lens because of you and it's my favorite lens. Even though I don't know how to use it

I was looking for the answer that the ring on this lens is focus ring or aperture ring, I watched many reviews but non of them talked about it, until I watched your review,thanks😂

Can some plz tell me, what is the difference between FE 35 mm f/1.8 And 35mm F1.8 for E mount???? Thnx

Great video!

Great review. Just got one on Black Friday for £399. Been eyeing it for long time

There was a different one of these 4 or 5 years ago that had oss? it had tons of aberrations did they update and fix it?I watch christopher Frost review of one a few years ago and close up it had linear aberrations colors real bad. Is this the same lens from here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SJjlT3xR6GY.html I need a decent 35mm to get started but the one he reviewed wouldn't work if its improved that be great, The one he did had OSS

Great video 👍👍👍

Thanks for the review Keith! Is there an aperture ring on this lens?

BTW, this is almost exactly the same size as the 1.8/55 except that the 55 uses a 49mm filter whereas the 35 uses a 55mm.

Can someone help me plz, I started photography as a completely new, I got Sony A7iii buy now I m confused which lens I should go for,

One thing that isn't mentioned a lot is that it also has a super pleasing image with some background pop that's very reminiscent of the Zeiss look. For video, this guy is actually better than the Gmaster IMO.

1:19 what Sony lens is that ?????

People are telling me the 35mm 1.4 g master is a photography lens and not for video. And all the reviews just cover photos. Is the 1.8 really that much more appropriate for video? I’m looking to make the best decision here and for longevity and quality I wanna get the g master. But I’ll get this one if I need to. As you can see, my current shots with my iPhone are very close up. So I’m a little lost with that because I noticed when I go from photo, to the video mode on my iPhone, it crops in. This kind of scares me because it makes me think that right now I’m able to get objects really close to the camera and I got spoiled. In fact, I was wanting to get things even closer but if I’m correct on my thinking, the video on iPhone is cropping in, therefore, making objects appear closer than they are. That means the minimum focus distance of this 1.8 being 8 inches, that’s gonna be lie double the 4 inches I’m used to. Any suggestions on how to combat this or proceed? I’m new to cameras because all I have is iPhone right now but I’m looking to get an A7C. To achieve the same thing I’m getting right now, what I need to get a zoom lens and just keep it permanently zoomed in a little bit? Would that give me a better minimum focus distance since it’s zoomed in? Or does it not work that way? At that point would be an advantage to getting a ZVe10 with a crop sensor? Or am I still at the mercy of the lens? I put on the camera regardless? Or does that crop sensor help you get closer to the object. I suppose it’s kind of all the same, therefore I could always just use this lens, 8 inches away, and then crop in with my software after the fact. If that’s all my iPhone is doing anyway just in real time. It just makes a difference though, because if I am looking at the monitor on the camera, if I’m holding the object away from the lens, I can’t tell myself what the shot will look like after editing, and I can’t see the product details to comment on in real time. Or maybe I will find that 4 inches and 8 inches isn’t all THATTTT much different. Either way, the g master will have an even farther minimum distance so that’s holding me back from the g master sadly. Focus breathing prob isn’t much concern for me since my content is highly edited. Will be noticeable on live streams though.

Thank you. I would really appreciate it if Sony updated this lens to a G build like the FE 20/1.8 G. I have this lens and the bigger heavier GM f/1.4 and really need both. I don’t want a slower f/2.5 like the other small G. Still want an f/1.8. That’s my feedback. By the way I’m not a videographer. Take care.

This lens isn’t best deal for photo only? I wish they made 35mm f1.8 G lens

Only downside I found for photography is the CA is terrible on this lens. I now have the GM so it's time to sell the 1.8.

Great love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️

Just ordered mine today! 379€ was a steal I could not avoid :D

Just brought it for 300€ new

There are several cheaper alternatives with better rendering for photography.
