Product details
Designed for the highest level of optical performance, the AF 35mm F1.4 FE lens has a multipurpose angle, a bright aperture, and creates beautiful blurred backgrounds to produce high-quality photographs of your subjects. It employs the world’s first DLSM motor, providing an enhanced autofocus function. Designed to maintain a high level of resolving power from the center to the periphery thanks to minimal optical aberration, it is an ideal choice for portraits, landscapes, and still life.
With a bright aperture of F1.4, it maintains shutter speed in indoor and low light conditions and ensures instant response while creating an out-of-focus effect to make the subject stand out. Featuring 9 rounded blades, it adds an artistic touch to your pictures and creates a sense of soft dimension with incredible bokeh, perfect for out-of-focus portraits and night city landscapes. Samyang’s advanced technology, the world’s first DLSM (Dual Linear Sonic Motor), provides very fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus performance.

- High performance packed into a compact and very light housing is the main plus point of the Samyang optics.
- It is difficult to give this lens a minus point. Even the price is not too high in view of the performance it offers.
The Samyang AF 35mm F1.8 FE shows very good imaging properties and has an excellent price-performance ratio. Its silent and fast autofocus system is helpful for both photography and filming. All in all, Samyang presents a highly interesting solution.
