The Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 G Master represents the pinnacle of wide-angle prime lens design, delivering exceptional optical quality across the versatile 35mm focal length. The 35mm perspective sits perfectly between standard and wide-angle - wide enough to capture environmental context whilst remaining natural and undistorted, making it one of the most useful focal lengths for professional work. We've supplied this lens extensively for documentary shoots requiring natural perspective, environmental portraits that show subjects in context, commercial work needing that cinematic wide angle, and narrative productions where the 35mm provides classic film-making composition. The fast f/1.4 aperture provides excellent low-light capability whilst also allowing beautiful subject isolation when needed.

‍

What sets the G Master 35mm apart is the combination of optical excellence and practical design. The advanced optical formula uses an XA (extreme aspherical) element to deliver exceptional sharpness across the entire frame, even when shooting wide open at f/1.4 - something rare in fast wide-angle lenses. The bokeh rendering is beautifully smooth and circular thanks to the 11-blade aperture, creating pleasing out-of-focus areas that don't distract from subjects. At only 524g, the lens is remarkably light for a professional f/1.4 prime, making it practical for handheld shooting, gimbal work, and extended shooting days without fatigue.

‍

The two XD Linear Motors provide fast, accurate, near-silent autofocus that tracks subjects reliably - essential for documentary work where moments happen quickly, and for video production where autofocus noise would be problematic. The 35mm focal length's versatility means it works brilliantly for environmental portraits showing subjects in their surroundings, street photography requiring context, documentary work needing natural perspective, interior shoots, wide establishing shots for narrative work, and even landscape photography when you want to include foreground interest. This lens is also available as part of our G Master prime set alongside the 50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 for complete coverage.

What makes 35mm a useful focal length? The 35mm focal length is often called the "storytelling" focal length because it captures enough context to show environment whilst remaining natural and undistorted. It's wide enough for environmental portraits, interiors, and establishing shots, yet tight enough to isolate subjects when needed. Many documentarians and photojournalists consider 35mm the perfect all-around focal length.

‍

How is the low-light performance? The f/1.4 maximum aperture provides excellent low-light capability, allowing you to shoot in challenging lighting conditions without excessive ISO. This makes it ideal for documentary work, event coverage, and any situation where lighting is beyond your control. The fast aperture also enables beautiful shallow depth of field when you want to isolate subjects.

‍

Is it sharp when shooting wide open at f/1.4? Yes, the G Master optics deliver exceptional sharpness even at f/1.4 - something that sets it apart from many fast wide-angle lenses which often require stopping down for optimal sharpness. The XA element controls aberrations effectively, providing excellent edge-to-edge performance across the frame even wide open.

‍

Can I hire this with the other G Master primes? Yes, this lens is available individually or as part of our G Master prime set which includes the 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.4, and 85mm f/1.4. The set provides comprehensive coverage from environmental wide shots through to flattering telephoto portraits, all with consistent G Master quality and fast f/1.4 aperture across the range.

‍

Is it suitable for video production? Absolutely. The near-silent autofocus makes it excellent for video work where motor noise would be problematic. The fast aperture provides cinematic shallow depth of field, whilst the 35mm focal length is a classic choice for narrative work. The lightweight design makes it practical for gimbal shooting, and it works brilliantly with Sony cinema cameras' advanced autofocus systems.

‍

How does it compare to the 35mm f/1.8? The f/1.4 G Master offers superior optical quality, faster aperture for better low-light performance and shallower depth of field, more professional build with weather sealing, faster autofocus, and exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness. The f/1.8 is lighter and more affordable, but the G Master delivers professional-level performance for demanding work.

‍

What cameras is this compatible with? The lens features native Sony E-mount, making it compatible with all Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras including the Alpha series, FX3, FX6, FX9, and other cinema cameras. It can also be used on APS-C cameras where it provides an effective focal length of approximately 52mm.
