Pierre T. Lambert I want this lens, and I want the 135mm F1.8 GM. Did you get to try that one?
Pierre, I wish you were more energetic in your videos 😆. You have excellent energy of course. I have had the lens for a little more than a week and I'm happy it exists. I recently went back to shooting with primes (with the exception of my telephoto), and this lens came out just in time.
Video actually starts at 1:16
I got my Sony 35mm 1.8 two days ago and already love it! Perfect size and image quality! 👏🏽
That "goood morning" is always making my mood :)
🌞🌞
I love to see a comparison of this with the Sigma 35mm Art f 1.4? would you still go for the sony?
Yes the Sony is sooooo much smaller. I had the sigma loved it but it's big and heavy
the AF kinda sucks on the sigma...the eye af catch one on four very on the eye so .The colors are nice but if you dont get the focus right whats the point ....and i forget ..in low light... awgh!!! please dont make me curse!!
@@callagan21 I use Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art lens Canon version with MC-11 adapter on my Sony 7RIII and I can not agree to what you say. I have no (more than with native sony lenses) problems focusing. Same in low light.
It's bigger than the Sony 35mm f1.8 but I wouldn't say it's super big. (The Sigma 35mm f1.2 is a beast though). I like to use my Sigma for everyday shooting. price/performance ratio is clearly on the side of the sigma lens. You get more quality, more light capabilities. Only drawback is that it's a bit bigger (but not as much that it's a big deal, actually feels more natural for me than the small sony lens). That's my opinion of course if you like as small as possible lenses the sony is the way to go.
@@bjoernoswald2473 hi man!!my consern is only about the eye AF on sigma,one day i was sit at the table eating something with my brother and i pick up the camera and shoot 4 photos ....distance between us 80cm ...one shoot about 4 was right on the eye. daaamnn.I dont care about the weight if giveme the right focus.Now is too late the sony 1.8 is on the way
Bjoern Oswald sigma or Sony is good ??? colortones and quality?? Which is good
Always enjoy your energy and enthusiasm in your videos. Whether a topic is relevant to me in particular , I always watch and learn! #muchgratitude
I've been really interested in this lens and I'm so happy you mentioned it compared to the 24mm GM because I loved this lens! I'm thinking about renting them both and compare them for myself in my own practice. For me, it's mainly because of their weight and shallow depth of field. I have the 16-35 f4 which is great but doesn't provide me with that bokeh flexibility enough and low light magic.
Definitely rent both to try!!
Which one did you decide then ?
thank you pierre. i trust and believe you. i will buy 1.8 instead of 1.4..
I don't know why I'm watching this but I am. I got my 35mm on Saturday and so far I think it's ace. My favourite lens of all I own. And I own the 28, 55 and 85
Ohhh you got it! Amazing!!!!!
Why do you think this 35 is better than say the 55? I do have one lens at the moment (55mm f/1.8) and wishing to have a wider lens for environmental portraits in 35 or 24mm.
@@johannbeckham I don't think it's better in terms of quality. It's about the same. But on a personal level, I prefer the 35mm because it's more versatile.
Did you find the contrast a bit low between f1.8 and f2.5 on this lens? That's the biggest weakness on this lens. I have the Sony G 40mm f2.5, which is sharp and contrasty from wide open. It offers a punch that this 35 mm lacks. I have decided to keep the 40 instead of this 35.
The price of $748 is US only due to the tariff BS. In Canada it is currently listed for $600 US equivalent. I got this lens anyway and am thrilled. So light and small, I feel like I've suddenly got a micro 4/3-sized form factor. I can take this anywhere.
Oh wow! A trip to Canada is necessary then 😄
Pharyn Gealized you can get it for $600 used right now. I got mine that way.
Just got this lens! and love it!!!!!!!! It's so compact and from the test shots i've done so sharp.Was thinking of getting the Sigma 35mm F1.4 but it bigger and heavier which means i'm unlikely to carry. This is going to be glued to my camera body.
👍👍👍👍👍👊
if you do decide on the sigma you will not be disappointed, yes its heavy but a good bag or strap for comfort and this lens is a beast
Let's say I'm getting my first lens for the Sony a7III, would you advise this 35mm f1.8 or the nifty fifty 50mm f1.8 ?
Go with 35mm, 50mm is good but its really not versatile, lets say somehow you want to vlog, or the location too tight, you may get it with 35 but not with 50
Sony 35mm 1.8 or Zeiss 24-70mm f4 ?
Which one is best?
I wish you would share the stats of your instagram photos (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) and the type of lens you use to capture those amazing shots. Greetings from Chicago.
Thanks for your insights. Btw do you have to clean your sensor often? I'd never dangle a camera around like that without a cover 🤠
I got it and i love it thanks
Great lens but 85mm 1.4 is King.
Sir Thank You Very Much For Guiding Sir You Are My Inspiration ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video Pierre! Is it possible to use the 35mm f/1.8 for astro photography as well?
Hi, how this compare to the zeiss batis 40mm f2 for gimbal work?
Awesome. Was wondering which to buy. Came right in time
:)
Is the A7iii and this lens a good starting set up if switching to Sony ? Currently using Canon and what to switch but just want a general walk around lens but not a zoom.
What focal length do you currently use? And is it a full frame or crop camera?
17-28 tamron + Sony 35? Or just the 16-35gm?
Exactly on the same boat as you. But the 1.8 on the 35 seems pushing me towards this route. What route did you take?
Can you help me to make a decision for a lens bro..., i got confused when comparing it with the zeiss 55mm f1.8, from your POV , which one is better...?
According to the ability of focus , depth of color, and the other...
Thanks...
what Sony lens would be best for food photography?
no one:
pierre: that instead of this
But in terms of sharpness how does this compare to the 55 1.8? I feel like these smaller Sony Lenses are great. 28mm F2. 35mm 1.8. 55 1.8. 85mm 1.8. All pretty affordable. All pretty sharp lenses.
I got the 28mm f2 early on and love it on my a7iii, and it costs a whole lot less.
Anyway this (35mm f1.8) lens quality seems to be comparable with the Zeiss 55mm f1.8. But the Zeiss is a whole other league as the 28mm f2. (By the way I like and use it also.)
@@csabagrunfelder i also own 28 f2 but i am foling in love in this 35mm,great pair for my 85 1.8
That sensor getting so dirty open like that 😯
😜
Pre ordered mine already, supposed to ship the 13th sept & I can't wait!!
Ohhh amazing!!!
My copy has an internal focusing motor that slides inside. Did yours have that too?
Hey! Mine does that as well, just got it today and have started looking and hearing it's a thing, but it's annoying af.
Im still thinking about getting this one or the 24mm 1.4..
Why no one is comparing to Sigma f1.4 HSM ART ? Same aperture and roughly the same size.
Sony is 3 x 3.8" / 76 x 96 mm
Sigma is 3.03 x 4.72" / 77 x 120 mm
I preordered and I have it. Impressive lens for what it deliver and very beautiful. I was one of those who were “annoying” everybody for been constantly asking for this lens:). Since I was on sony ff I was using vintages, voigtlanders etc in order to get this fov, fstop. I found this lens a modern version of the minolta MC hh 35 mm 1.8. Now I can say, I’m happy :)
Did you do something different with your audio? Sounds very clear!
Thanks! Because there is no ambient noise - just nature!
Do you favor the 24 gm much more over than the 35 1.8? Torn between the two. Thanks. Love your vids!
It's a hard choice! If you need 24mm wide then yes. If not... 35 saves your $600
@@Pierretlambert Is it crazy to own both? I bought a 24mm GM and now i want to order the 35mm 1.8. Is that smart?
do you notice something sliding inside the lens when you flip it up and down?
Hi Pierre, i have a64 + fe 35 mm 1.8
when i change focus with auto focus wide mode, why is af hunting focus is late and not fast? what i wrong in my setting? because is new camera and lena for me
It’s literally only with your videos that I hit the like button before anything happened 😄
Ahhh thank you!
Just like me ,i love your videos ! Cant wait for next one 😉
Whats that wrist hook you use thats attached to your camera?
Last thing I will do is fit a lens in my pocket....lol
Anyone with this lens hear a quiet static noise (heard when the environment is really quiet or putting your head on the lens)? Everything works fine with mine but I'm just hoping I didn't get a bad copy.
Good review Pierre 😃
Thanks Prathna!
Hello Pierre ! I'm Federico from Verona, Italy.
I'm quite new in photography and I love street photography!
Now I'm shooting with a sony a7 (luky auction) with 24-70 mm lens and I'm looking for an upgrade.
I'm in doubt between the viltrox 85mm F1.8 and the sony 35MM F1.8. In your opinion which one is better for street photography?
Federico Ruzzante 2 focali molto diverse e non confrontabili sinceramente. Prova a guardare i dati exif delle tue foto e vedi che focale usi più spesso sul tuo 24-70. Io personalmente prenderei per primo il 85 ma io amo fare ritratti mentre la maggior parte ti dirà il 35 perché è usabile in tante situazioni. È una cosa molto soggettiva e solo tu puoi sapere cosa ti serve. Per quanto riguarda la qualità dei vetri sono tutti e 2 ottimi ma per il 85 il prenderei il sony o ancora meglio il samyang 85 f1.4 af che è il migliore e se la batte con il gm da 1500€ a 1/3 del prezzo
Je vais l’acheter. J’ai apprécié ta vidéo qui confirme mon choix
Salut. L'as tu acheté depuis? Si oui, tu le conseilles?
Should I buy Sony 85mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 ? It’s for an all around lens and snowboard photography also I would like to do some b-roll what do u think? Thanks for your time keep up the great work!💯
Get them bought, u won't be wrong. I have 85 but I definitely will grab that one
Def get the 35 for any action type shots like snowboard. You will want that wide angle perspective compared to the 85 and get much more dramatic shots that will stand out. Even better, you can get a wide angle zoom like 16-35 or Tamron 17-28 that will allow you to get crazy wide shots similar to GoPro but with better image quality and color.
Just got the samyang 35mm 1.8 and it's pretty good lens
I wish you shot Canon. I still like all your videos tho because you’re awesome!
Haha thanks :)
Important!! I just got mine yesterday. Does your copy feel like it has something moving inside the lens when you move it in your hand? Mine does, when I turn the camera on, it stops, so I dont think its something wrong but I want to make sure. Please let me know. Thanks a lot!!!
Not that I can remember
Its normal, part of the integral part of the lens.
Hey man! Witch lens would you recommend me (I only have a 50mm 1.8). I was thinking about the sigma 18-35mm 1.8 or the sigma 35mm 1.4.
The sigma 18-35 is a good idea!
SONY 35MM 1.8
Pierre what about video? What's your opinion?
Great the AF was fast!n
Is there any difference in quality between the 35mm prime and the 35mm end of the 16-35mm GM??
I haven't tested that because my 16-35 is uncalibrated!! :/
Pierre T. Lambert ok thank you I have the 16-35 gmaster and love it! So it was just out of curiosity really! 👍
it's compact like the 55 1.8 Zeiss
Yes!
It sounds nice but I have the super small 35mm f/2.8 I'd like to see a comparison
Good idea to check!
Hey there Pierre ! Chaz here :) I'm thinking of switching from Canon to Sony, the camera you use, and was wondering what would be your recommendation for a good go-to all around lens ?
Depends what you shoot :)
16-35 or 24 or 35 or 24-70 or 85 😊
@@Pierretlambert Fair enough. I shoot mainly street photography but want to broaden my horizons are do some landscape and portrait stuff.
I still prefer the Rokinon 35mm f1.4 over this just because of the price. Sony is just too much for poor men like me 😅
Rokinon is great yes!
Yes, it´s amazing lens...I have it also...but use not too much because of the WEIGHT...the Zeiss 55 f1.8 is a best compact lens what I ever used. If the 35 f1.8 is the same...then worth it. (Maybe wait a year and will the price drop a bit. By the 24-105 f4 was so.)
I agree, the 1.4 just blows away the 35 1.8. It may not seem like such a big difference on paper, but anyone who actually shoots with both can vouch that the subject separation, dof, and rendering of the 1.4 is just superb.
I shoot on a Canon but these photos are amazing!
Thanks!
I’m conflicted. I have the Sigma 35 1.4 and it’s fantastic and I absolutely adore the images I get from it, however it’s quite bulky. I saw your 1.4 vs 1.8 video, I’m wondering if this could be worth it to save some size and weight. These are more internal thoughts than anything. 😂
Anywho, I appreciate the vid Pierre. You got me thinking. 😉
Thanks Matt!
I also own the Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art lens still from my canon days and use it with the mc-11 adapter on my sony camera.
Personally I do see NO reason to switch. It would caust the same money as the sigma lens (especially as I already own it!) and wouldn't be an upgrade but more of a downgrade. Price/performance ratio clearly favors the Sigma Art lens. Only positive factor of the sony is the smaller size.
But I don't feel that the Sigma is "bulky". Of course if you compare it to the sony 1.8 it is. But if you wanna know what bulky is, try the sigma f1.2! Or the 85mm f1.4 sigma ^.^
To me it actually feels quite natural and the sony feels a little bit small and cheap-ish.
If you do favor weight and size over everything else of course the sony could be your choice to go. So if all the time when your on tour with your camera you feel like the sigma lens is just too much then maybe you should switch.
Otherwise there really is NO reason. You could rather get a new lens that you actually do need. That's like 700 Euro/Dollar/Potatoes you could invest additionally and get a nice GM lens.
(But then again these might be too bulky for your taste haha :-) ).
Micro-contrast on this lens is better than the sigma.
which one whould i buy (35mm 1.8 or 1.4 or a 24mm 1.4)? ... so confuse! thanks
what the cost
Been using the Sony 50mm for a while now, and have been waiting for this lens. The 50mm is good, but at times I feel that it’s just too tight. Definitely going to invest in this. Keep up the good work.😊
Thanks! 🥳
Hey brother I am a wedding photographer and vediographer i need a lens which one I can buy 35 Sony 1.8 or sigma 35 1.4 I don't have more money to buy another lens
Sigma is much bigger. Works well too I've had it for years
If you a wedding photographer and can only afford one lens at the $750 US price mark I would get the 28mm and 85mm used.
is it just mine or when u kinda shake the lens the inside kinda moves?
Haven't had the feeling yet?
Same with mine, have you asked Sony if this is normal?
I think the 35mm is for me, 24mm is a bit to wide and the 35mm is a lot lighter.
Bonjour Pierre. Good video as usual. Adieu monsieur.
Merci!
Yes I want it!! The 35 is missing from my kit
Same!
What do you think is the fair price for this lens? With this price the samyang or the sigma 35mm f/1.4 seems appealing.
I would have thought 500-600 max
You really should specify in the title that this 35mm is actually the FE, for full frame. Otherwise people will click on the video to get information about the other Sony 35mm. I did the same think , clicking for the 35mm E mount. Otherwise I wouldn't have done it. Stop using click baits.
Good feedback !
Is it better then Samyang 35/1.4? Samyang 35/1.4 650€, Sony 35/1.8 800€.
Will have to try!
GangstaCat define better. AF, form factor are better with Sony. Samyang also goes to 1.4 which I would hardly shot it at. Also add in that you must buy the adapter for the samyang which will run you around $50.
@@jamesjackson4264 thanks
I shoot wildlife but I want this thing 😉
He!
How's it compared to the 35mm 1.4 zeiss
Way smaller!
@@Pierretlambert I understand that but comparing the shaperness of both lens
Sharper than the 55mm 1.8 Zeiss?🤔
i own both. definitely sharper than 55. but i prefer color on 55.
@@jamesjin8839 Interesting. Thank you for the answer. In what way do you prefer the 55? Warmer or cooler? Or some colorshift?
I am selling my 55 cause the 35 in my opinion is on the same level. I do love the 55 but with this 35 I would force myself to pick it up.

For me, it is too expensive. I would rather choose Samyang 35mm F/1.4 because it is cheaper and faster
It's garbage. Why did they make it so small. Vignetting trough all stops. Ridiculous and then they want over $500 for it.
