Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE MK2 Lens for Sony E

Description

Meet the new and improved Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE MK2 Lens for Sony E. This new generation of Samyang's AF 35mm f/1.4 FE is made with ultra-precision aspherical and high-refractive elements for exquisite sharpness and soft, beautiful bokeh. The MK2 also boasts a near-silent AF that's faster and more precise than its predecessor, thanks to its new STM unit. In addition, the MK2 features a customisable focus hold button and a custom function switch.

Key Features:

Excellent Resolution from Corner to Corner

The 2 ASP (aspherical) and 2 HR (high refractive) elements in the AF 35mm f/1.4 FE MK2 lens deliver stunning contrast and amazing resolution. Samyang's advanced coating technology maintains superb image clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions. The corner-to-corner sharpness is maintained even at maximum aperture, so optical performance is consistent at all exposure settings.

Narrow Depth of Field with Refined Bokeh

The f/1.4 maximum aperture of the AF 35mm f/1.4 FE MK2 makes it easier to capture clear images in low light, and amazing bokeh. A 9-blade circular aperture design creates the stunning beautifully blurred background at a narrow depth of field. Its smooth bokeh and blurred background can make subjects stand out in images with deep dimensional impact.

Faster, Precise, Quiet Auto Focus Performance

Samyang’s Linear Stepping Motor (STM) provides the high-thrust efficiency needed for fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking, thus maximising the advantages of Sony E-Mount cameras. Compared to the previous AF 35mm f/1.4 FE, the MK2 is optimised for not only photo shooting, but also video shooting by minimising vibration and noise. Tracking the subject accurately and quickly, the AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video. Samyang's Linear STM satisfies both photographers and videographers with quieter and more accurate control of the focusing lens groups.

Short Minimum Focal Distance

The minimum focal distance is just 29cm, letting you capture impressive close-ups, even capturing small details, from a short distance. With this short minimum focal distance and large aperture, you can highlight the subject with a smoothly expressed background.

Focus Hold Button & Custom Switch

The lens's Focus Hold Button keeps the lens locked at the desired focusing distance. The Custom Switch can be set to allow adjustment of the aperture silently by rotating the focus ring. Using the optional Lens Station, you can set up the mode to suit your own preference.

Modern Design & Weather-Sealing

The AF 35mm f/1.4 FE MK2 has been developed and enhanced, taking into consideration not only the design but also the user's shooting environment. It has a stylish silver ring, matte finish, and weather-sealing (4 spots) which also protects the lens from light rain, snow, and dust.
