Sony has announced the FE 35mm f/1.4 G Master lens. The new optic takes the number of G Master primes in the Sony range up to seven, and slots in just above the existing 24mm f/1.4 G Master, promising the same combination of fast maximum aperture and ultimate image quality.
The lens offers a classic semi-wide focal length for street and general photography, and the f/1.4 maximum aperture will offer not just extra low-light capability, but shallow depth of field – this is a prized property in a wide-angle lens, because it creates a sense of depth even in wide or semi-wide shots.
It joins three other 35mm primes in the Sony range, including two from Zeiss (a compact f/2.8 lens and a fast f/1.4 optic) and Sony’s own 35mm f/1.8 G.
