A Versatile 35mm Lens for Everyday Creativity

The 35mm focal length has long been regarded as one of the most versatile perspectives in photography. Its natural angle of view allows creators to capture a wide variety of subjects including street scenes, travel moments, portraits, and cinematic storytelling.

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is designed as a practical everyday lens that combines a bright aperture with a compact form factor and dependable autofocus performance.

While the AF 35mm F1.4 P FE focuses on maximum brightness and high-end optical performance, the AF 35mm F1.8 P FE offers a lighter and more compact alternative optimized for everyday shooting, making it an ideal companion for photographers and content creators who prioritize portability without compromising image quality.

Compact and Lightweight Design

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE continues the Prima Series philosophy of compact and portable lens design. With a maximum diameter of Φ69.8mm and a standard 62mm filter size, the lens integrates seamlessly into lightweight shooting setups and is easy to carry throughout the day. Its compact form pairs particularly well with lightweight full-frame cameras such as the Sony α7C series and ZV-E models, making it an ideal everyday lens for travel, street photography, and hybrid content creation.

Bright F1.8 Aperture with Natural Bokeh

The bright F1.8 aperture provides excellent flexibility across a wide range of lighting conditions, allowing creators to shoot confidently in both bright daylight and low-light environments. A 9-blade rounded aperture produces smooth and natural background blur, enabling expressive subject separation for portraits, lifestyle photography, and cinematic video production. This balance of brightness and portability makes the AF 35mm F1.8 P FE a practical lens for everyday creative work.

Next-Generation Optical Technology

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE features an advanced optical construction of 10 elements in 8 groups, including 2 ASP (Aspherical) elements and 2 newly developed XHR elements. The XHR (Extra High Refractive) lens element is manufactured with higher precision compared to conventional high-refractive index elements, allowing for a more compact optical structure while effectively reducing optical aberrations. By incorporating XHR elements, the lens achieves improved optical performance while maintaining a thinner and lighter design, delivering sharp resolution and consistent image quality across the entire frame.

Next-Generation Coating Technology

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE incorporates UMC II (Ultra Multi Coating II), the next generation of LK SAMYANG’s coating technology. Compared to the previous coating system, UMC II further suppresses flare and ghosting, ensuring improved contrast and clarity even in challenging lighting environments such as strong backlight or night scenes. This upgraded coating technology helps deliver cleaner and more vibrant images in real-world shooting conditions.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is equipped with the next-generation Linear STM II autofocus motor. Combined with continuously refined firmware algorithms, the Linear STM II system delivers faster, more accurate, and quieter autofocus performance, ensuring smooth focusing transitions for both still photography and video recording. This improved autofocus system allows creators to capture dynamic scenes with greater precision and stability.

Enhanced Usability for Real-World Shooting

The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is designed to perform reliably in real-world shooting environments. The lens features weather sealing, helping protect it from light rain, dust, and outdoor shooting conditions. It also includes a USB-C port, enabling users to easily update firmware and customize lens settings directly without the need for a separate lens station. This convenient connectivity ensures that users can keep their lens up to date while maintaining optimal performance.
