It's substantially heavier than the Sony FE 35mm F1.8, though, which at 281g is a whopping 143g lighter than this new F1.4 version.

Weighing in at 524g, the hybrid metal and engineering plastic bodied Sony 35mm F1.4 GM is very light for such a fast, full-frame lens.Ĭompared to the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN Art, which is one of the biggest and heaviest 35mm prime lenses that we've ever tested with a weight of 1,090 grams and measuring 13.6cm in length, the new Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM is much easier to live with. The Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM lens will be available at the end of January 2021 priced at £1500 in the UK, €1700 in Europe, $1399.99 in the USA, and $1899.99 in Canada. The Click On/Off switch changes the aperture ring between 1/3 clicked steps and a smooth clickless movement. There are two extreme dynamic (XD) linear motors for fast, quiet and precise auto-focusing, while the linear response focusing ring provides fine linear manual focus control.Ī traditional aperture ring runs from f/1.4 to f/16 in third-stop increments with an Auto setting also available. It has a circular 11-blade diaphragm which creates a very attractive blur to out-of-focus areas of the image, a customizable focus hold button, and an internal focusing mechanism which means the lens barrel doesn't move. The Sony 35mm 1.4 GM lens boasts a dust- and moisture-resistant design and has a minimum focusing distance of 27cm with a maximum magnification of 0.23x, increasing to 25cm and 0.26x when focusing manually. There's a Nano Coating AR II to minimize internal reflections so that flare and ghosting do not occur and a flourine coating on the front element to prevent fingerprints, dust, oil and other contaminants. It features two extreme aspherical (XA) elements which help to ensure that the image is sharp across the frame and an extra-low dispersion (ED) element to suppress chromatic aberrations and purple fringing. It can also be used on APS-C sensor Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.

The Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM (SE元5F14GM) is a fast, moderate wide-angle prime lens for Sony Alpha full-frame and APS-C E-mount mirrorless cameras.
