Specification Sheet

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 signicantly 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 lens-
drive noise.
Superb focusing operation
The SEL-35F18 supports DMF (Direct Manual Focus), which enables users to resume manual focusing directly aer
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 eect.
