Review on Compact Full Frame Wide Angle Lens for Sony E Mount: Rokinon 35mm F1.8 Auto Focus, Black (IO3518-E) by Ma En ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Before buying compared with Sigma 35mm F1.4 art. Sigma turned out to be twice as heavy. Probably due to luminosity. Aperture is not the main characteristic for me when choosing a lens. The 5-axis stub and high working iso values ​​in my a7m3 replace my aperture in the dark. Aperture open to 1.4 is practically not used in most scenes. I did not sacrifice weight and dimensions because of this. A fully open aperture is not always working in practice. At 35mm from Sony, you can already work at 1.8. Like focus, smart and without unnecessary sounds. And at any aperture value. The lens turned out well.

Pros
  • Modern, light, fast lens with good sharpness. Focuses quickly and silently. There is a programmable button on the lens body,
Cons
  • Any 35ka is boring bokeh. The lens is no exception. When you shake the lens in your hands, the lens block rattles inside.
