Your everyday storyteller—fast, sharp, and quietly brilliant.
If you love a lens that can do a little of everything—and do it well—this S-Line 35mm is the one you keep on your camera. It’s bright at f/1.8 for low light and lovely background blur, crisp edge-to-edge for modern sensors, and whisper-quiet for video. Street, travel, portraits at arm’s length—this is the natural point of view that just feels like real life.
What you’ll notice in use
-
Low-light confidence: A fast f/1.8 aperture keeps ISO down and shutters up when the light fades, with smooth, natural bokeh behind your subject.
-
S-Line clarity: Advanced optics (2 ED + 3 aspherical elements) plus Nano Crystal Coat deliver high contrast with reduced flare and color fringing.
-
Focus that disappears: A multi-focusing system driven by a stepping motor (STM) locks on quickly and quietly—great for candid stills and clean audio in video.
-
Video-friendly design: Thoughtful suppression of focus breathing helps keep framing steady as you rack focus.
-
Close and personal: Focus down to 0.25 m (0.82 ft) for detail-rich frames and intimate environmental portraits.
-
Weather-sealed reliability: Dust- and drip-resistant build for shooting in real-world conditions.
-
Intuitive control: Assign aperture, ISO, exposure comp, or manual focus to the smooth control ring to fit your style.
-
Pack-light friendly: 370 g with a compact 73 × 86 mm build and a practical 62 mm filter thread.
Good to know
-
Angle of view: 63° on FX; 44° on DX (≈52.5 mm equivalent on Z-series DX bodies).
-
9-blade rounded diaphragm for pleasing blur.
-
In the box: HB-89 hood, front/rear caps, soft pouch.
Who it’s for
Photographers and filmmakers who want a do-it-all prime that feels natural for everyday life—street shooters, travel storytellers, environmental portrait makers, and Z-series video creators who value sharpness, speed, and quiet control without the bulk.
