Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens
The Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens, available at Lightbulb Rentals, is tailored for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, offering photographers a versatile wide-angle focal length coupled with exceptional optical performance and speed. This lens is particularly well-suited for capturing street scenes, landscapes, and everyday life, thanks to its bright f/1.4 aperture which excels in low-light conditions and allows for precise control over depth of field.
Built upon the renowned ZEISS Distagon optical concept, the lens features a sophisticated design comprising 12 elements arranged in eight groups. This construction enables the lens to achieve its large maximum aperture while effectively minimizing vignetting and spherical aberrations. The optical layout includes one Advanced Aspherical (AA) element and two standard aspherical elements, strategically placed to combat astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other types of spherical aberrations that can degrade image quality.
To further enhance image clarity and contrast, ZEISS T* anti-reflective coatings have been applied to each surface of the lens elements. These coatings reduce reflections and ghosting, resulting in images with superior contrast and color fidelity, even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.
The lens’s fast f/1.4 aperture not only facilitates low-light photography but also provides photographers with extensive control over focus placement, making it ideal for achieving selective focus effects. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, rendering out-of-focus backgrounds smoothly and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of focused subjects.
