Description

This superb wide angle prime remains true to the original Sonnar concept with a bright F2.8 maximum aperture. A perfect match for α7 series full frame bodies, with outstanding optical performance in a versatile 35mm focal length, this ZEISS lens delivers superior contrast and resolution throughout the image.

Perfect performance for the α7 series
The handling and convenience of this compact 35mm lens are enhanced by an internal focus mechanism that keeps its length constant during focusing. Lightweight design further augments portability as well as handling. All of this plus outstanding ZEISS resolution and contrast make this lens an ideal match for full-frame α7 series bodies.

ZEISS resolution from corner to corner
Outstanding resolution and contrast are the key features of this lens. Three double-sided aspherical elements effectively control spherical aberration, while extensive application of the ZEISS T* coating not only minimises flare and ghosting for natural colour reproduction, but is instrumental in achieving impressive contrast as well.

Beautiful bokeh and low light performance
A maximum aperture of F2.8 facilitates shooting in a wide range of lighting conditions, with consistent image quality at all apertures. Bright lenses are often large, but a new focus lens group design allows a large maximum aperture in a compact lens. A circular aperture design contributes to gorgeous bokeh for smoothly defocused backgrounds.

Outstanding colour and contrast
The ZEISS T* coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced colour and contrast that give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.
