FE 35mm F1.8 overview
The Sony FE 35mm F1.8 is a 35mm f/1.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in July 2019. 39 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light.
No store we track in Europe lists it today. It is listed in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore. It launched at €700.
Worth comparing it with the TTArtisan AF 40mm F2, Sigma 35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary and Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art.
