FE 35mm F1.4 GM Full-Frame Large-Aperture Wide Angle G Master Lens Black

This lens is a perfect fit for my A7CR - fast, optically fantastic, lightweight (relatively speaking), well-built, and compact. So sharp it is ridiculous. Autofocus is spot on and very fast paired with the aforementioned camera. This was the first lens I purchased with my recent camera equipment refresh cycle and would likely be my choice if I had only one lens. The fast aperture allows very low light work and the lens performs so well wide open. Also, since it is a first party lens, it works with Sony's lens breathing compensation, which is available on newer Sony bodies during video shooting. Highly recommended!

Most have, very capable, sharp, excellent for indoors shooting when space is limited and with the crop gets better

Arguably one of the greatest lenses to get. Very versatile, excellent image, and very well built. If you’re shooting video, the autofocus can almost be too quick - resulting in the focus jumping around a bit. Still a phenomenal lens.

Brilliant lens. Context: I also own a 50mm 1.4 GM lens, great lens. I do paid work to photograph venues and events and both of these lenses do the job very well given a lot of these venues are in low light. Why I needed this 35mm was to capture the environment more. Many situations made the 50mm a bit tight and found myself with my back up against the wall to capture the moments. Both of these lenses do well with a photographer who capture pictures that tell a story. A picture is worth a thousand words after all. This is where the 35mm really shines. It's a story telling focal length and in the right hands, it will do that job very well. If I had to do it all over, I'd pick the 35mm first and gauge if a 50mm is needed. Which from what I see I don't think I need anymore and may sell the 50mm.

Perfect for photographing groups and environments. The size is perfect and focus is quick and snappy. It can be stored easily and the material finish protects it from scratches.
