SEL 35mm f/1.8 OSS
- Thread starter icarus
- Start date
Indeed. To me, this is the best lens for Nex 7. My 50mm F1.8 and CZ24mm f1.8 didn't last more than a week. This one has really great sharpness and yet it is small and light, and will be the main lens on my Nex 7.
This lens is a keeper for those who like the focal lenght roughly 52mm when compare it on a FF. I like this lens a lot on my NEX7

Was comtemplating if I should get this... but then I have the Sigma 30mm...
If you desire faster lens , you should then. =)
Else when Zeiss 32mm F1.8 releases , you have more choices and more headache to choose what to get and keep . Cheers

But d Zeiss 32/1.8 will cost twice as much, no? :bsmilie:
Maybe 3 times more. Well to some , the pursuit for quality goes beyond dollars and cents .

The 35mm f1.8 is indeed very sharp, and it is very sharp from f1.8. Quite surprising for a lens of this price, as you don't really need to stop down to get the great sharpness.
With the wide aperture, you will minimize the need for the Nex 7 to shoot at high iso thus avoiding the only issue of the Nex 7 in terms of noise at high iso.
Observation: all Auto AF, Auto ISO, daytime shots stays at ISO100, which indoor night shots stays at ISO320.
Sigma 30mm is also a good lens, but at f2.8, you will need to pump up the iso for lowlight shots to prevent blurred shots, and thus creating high noise. The built quality is all plastic, and has the "famous" sound in the lens when not in use. This 35mm F1.8 is very well made, with solid feel.
AF is very very fast with this lens with totally silent focusing. I get more keeper shots with this than my previous X-E1, with almost all shots are sharp and correctly focused with the AF, as compared to my X-E1 which gives me more OOF shots due to its AF. Not complaining about the X-E1, as it takes really sharp photos when the AF is accurate, only when the AF is accurate, however. Or you have to rely on manual focusing.
