Purple fringing can be rather severe at wide aperture. Bokeh has significant onion rings, in some situations there is a severe light leak/flare. It has a long list of less-than-perfect flaws. While the Sony Zeiss 35mm F/1.4 produces overall very solid image quality, it doesn’t blow me away. Yet, at nearly $1,500 for a prime lens, I want to be blown away by spectacular image quality. Thus, one can’t really complain about the pricing. Overall:Īt a current price of $1499, the Sony 35mm F/1.4 is actually a bit cheaper than the Nikon 35mm F/1.4G and the Canon 35mm F/1.4 L ii. Sony 35mm F/1.4 corner at 2.8 The Sony 35mm F/1.4 is not an unsharp lens but it consistently remains a hair behind the Sony 50mm F/1.4, which I would consider the benchmark for the potential sharpness of a Sony lens on the Sony A7riii. Even at 1/4th of a second, I get some sharp images but less than half the images are keepers. It will depend on each individual’s technique, but personally I got sharp images pretty consistently at 1/10 and sometimes slower. Optical stabilization is not included in the Sony 35mm F/1.4, but the lens benefits from IBIS on the Sony A7riii and similar bodies.
Sony 35mm 1.4 manual#
There is a hard rib focus ring, manual focus works smoothy but it is “by wire.”
Manual/Auto focus must be switched from the camera.
Otherwise, the Sony 35mm F/1.4 lacks any other switches. Clickless aperture allows video shooting to change the aperture in total silence. It has an aperture ring with a switch which allows it to be a “clickless” aperture. It’s not a light-weight lens, weighing about the same as the Canon and Nikon versions.
Doesn’t feel overly heavy on the A7riii body, weighing in at 630 grams. Sony 55mm F/1.8 vs Sony 35mm F/1.4 vs Sony 35mm F/2.8 Build quality is solid.
