What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details conflict or are uncertain: dimensions are given as 8.2 x 7.37 x 7.37 cm with a weight of 294.84 g, while another field lists 295 g. The title and product description characterize the lens as wide-angle, while the technical listing calls it Standard. The water-resistance field says Water Resistant, whereas the description specifies dust and splash resistance and warns this does not guarantee protection from direct exposure. Confirm the exact listing and compatibility for your camera before purchase.

Customer feedback reports strong lens and image quality, including sharp-looking images, while autofocus is described as adequate and comparable to other lenses. For buyers considering this 35 mm F1.8 for still photography, those reports address image quality directly. Autofocus comments are more measured, and the feedback does not establish performance for every L-mount camera or video setup.
Positive themes
- Customer feedback describes the lens and image quality favourably, with images reported as sharp across apertures.
Mixed feedback
- Autofocus is described as OK and comparable to other lenses, rather than singled out as exceptional.
