Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 Prima Lens for Sony E Mount in Black

The Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 Prima is a full-frame, fast-aperture prime lens designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It combines a versatile 35mm focal length—ideal for portraiture, street, and travel photography—with a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, enabling excellent low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field effects. The lens employs a Linear Stepping Motor (STM) for smooth, quiet autofocus, making it suitable for both stills and video work, and features suppressed focus breathing to maintain a consistent field of view during focus pulls. Constructed with 12 elements in 10 groups, the optical design delivers sharp, high-resolution images even at the widest aperture, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.30 metres for close-up shots. The lens body is notably compact and lightweight at 470 grams, enhancing portability for all-day use. It includes a micro-pattern rubber focus ring for precise manual control and is sealed at five critical points against moisture and dust, offering robust weather resistance for shooting in challenging conditions. A distinctive feature is the integrated USB-C port, which allows direct firmware updates and customisation of autofocus and manual focus sensitivity without requiring a separate docking station. This lens is well-suited for hybrid shooters, vloggers, and enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, versatile prime lens that balances optical quality, durability, and modern connectivity in a portable package.
