7Artisans AF 35mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E Mount APS-C Mirrorless Cameras, Black

A bright 35mm f/1.8 autofocus prime lens for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras, delivering a natural perspective and exceptional low-light performance. The wide f/1.8 aperture produces beautiful background blur and enables creative depth-of-field control, while the STM stepping motor ensures fast, quiet, and accurate focusing for both stills and video.

Advantages

The 35mm focal length (equivalent to 52.5mm on APS-C) is ideal for everyday photography, street scenes, portraits, and environmental shots. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture excels in dim conditions and allows pleasing subject isolation. The STM motor enables smooth, silent autofocus, making it well-suited for video recording. The lens features a 9-blade circular diaphragm for rounded bokeh, and the aluminum alloy barrel offers a premium feel and long-term reliability.
