Sony DT 35 mm f/1.8 SAM

 

A cheap standard lens is, by and large, a compulsory position in every reputable system. It was this way long time ago, when every analogue 35-mm camera owner could also buy a 50 mm lens with an aperture ranging from f/1.7 to f/2.0 and they didn't have...

excellent image quality in the frame centre ; good image quality on the edge of the frame (apart from the maximum aperture) ; well-corrected lateral chromatic aberration ; relatively low distortion ; decent work against bright light

lens’s barrel and mount are made of plastics ; weak image quality on the edge of the frame near the maximum aperture ; average autofocus ; noticeable coma ; the highest vignetting in this class of equipment

Sony 35mm f/1.8 DT SAM ( SAL-35F18 ) - Review / Test Report

 

The Sony 35mm f/1.8 DT SAM may be a budget-oriented prime lens but regarding its performance it may even be a viable option for enthusiasts. Resolution-wise it delivers a very solid performance. A large center portion of the image field is very sharp...

average lens but good price

 

Just like the standard zoom that had come with my old A200, the focus ring of the 35F18 SAM rattles. Its not broken, but it is so loose it looks like it is. Focussing speed is fair and it is a little noisy compared to modern more expensive lenses. For...

Taken some cracking shots with this lense

 

Just treated myself to a a77ii to move on from point and shoot. Got this as a first lense and found it really easy to use. Haven't explored half of what the camera can do but I am sure this lense will rise to the task and be a staple in my collection.

Great when you need a shallow depth of field

 

I've had this lens a couple of years now....use in once-in-a-while, but when I do it's because I really need it's features. Fast, clear, great shallow depth of field and light. Often use it in urban shoots. Also like it because, not being a zoom, it...

Great DT Lens

 

This is great lens for $200. It's tack sharp and great in low light. The build is decent for this price level but the upside of that is, it's ultra light. This is a great normal prime for the DT camera.

Wide angle?

 

Let me start out by saying that I returned this item. I am absolutely a Sony man all the way. I was looking for a lens that was wide angle and fixed. While I could get low light shots, that was great. But I wanted a wide angle lens and this is not, in...

Plastic Fantastic

 

This is a very good lens for the price. Sony's higher end version sells for $1500, and doesn't offer 7 times the performance.

Sharp centers, light weight, cheap

Loud AF, soft corners at 1.8
