35mm f2.8 Zeiss Sonnar

35mm on the Sony A7s. As you can see, it’s a lot smaller than the 55mm and MUCH lighter but it feels cheaper and more ‘plasticy’ too.

The 35mm comes with a really strange little lens hood/dust protector.

35mm Zeiss shot from the same position. As you can see, the 35mm fits a lot more in!

I’ve heard rumours of a much faster Zeiss lens coming out this year but after wasting a bunch of shots from a previous shoot (where the room was just too tight and the model was just that little bit too tall and nothing fit nicely into frame) I had enough and pulled the trigger on the only native 35mm lens available for the Sony A7s.

I’m looking forward to using it. I doubt the depth of field I love so much will be there (will have to test and see), but shooting in tighter spaces is what this lens is reserved for.
