![]() ![]() ![]() On the left side of the lens there is a programmable button and an AF-MF switch. You can also set the ring to “A”(utomatic) and let the camera choose the aperture value or use the camera dial to change the aperture value when it is set to “A”.Ĭompared to the Sony FE 85mm 1.4 GM the click stops are more distinct, especially the “A” setting. The aperture ring has 1/3 of a stop click stops (which you can declick by using a lever on the lens) and those are more distinct compared to the FE 35mm 1.4 ZA. When you turn your camera off the lens will remember the last focus position and will still be there when you turn the camera on again. It takes 180° from the minimum focus distance (0.25 m) to infinity. The rubberized focus ring has decent damping and works better for me than those of the ZA lenses, especially as it does not matter how fast you turn the focusing ring but only how far. In short: we are getting all the GM goodness (declickable aperture ring, AF-MF switch, focus hold button, linear manual focus) but also some improvements over earlier GM lenses like the Sony FE 85mm 1.4 GM. Handling/Build quality Sony FE 35mm 1.4 GM ![]() The lens is available from | | B&H | | (affiliate links) and the price is $1399/1659€. Close Focusing Distance: 0.27 m (AF) | 0.25 m (MF).Number of Aperture Blades: 11 (rounded).Weight: 520g (without hood, without caps).As you can see when comparing the specifications this is surprisingly not the case here: the newer Sony FE 35mm 1.4 GM is smaller, lighter, focuses closer and makes use of the better 11 blade diaphragm. We are used to newer lenses being optically better than the ones they replace, but also bigger and heavier. The Sony FE 35mm 1.4 GM is the successor to the Sony FE 35mm 1.4 ZA.
