Rokinon's AF 35mm F1.8 lens boasts a compact and rugged build quality, paired with a sophisticated optical design to deliver superb performance and versatility. Incorporating 4 special elements (2 Aspherical and 2 High Refractive Index) plus Ultra MultiCoating, this lens achieves rich, high-resolution image quality from the center to the edges of the frame, even at the full F/1.8 aperture.

Designed as a "standard / normal" focal length equivalent to 52.5mm for Sony E-mount APS-C sensor models, the AF 35mm F1.8 excels at available light photography and creating content with a shallow depth of field. Its 9-blade circular aperture produces pleasing bokeh effects with natural, circular, out-of-focus highlights, satisfying both professional and amateur photographers.

The AF motor system employs a Stepping Motor (STM) that is optimized for both phase detection AF and contrast AF, providing a smooth and almost effortless shooting experience. The Internal Focus (IF) design allows for quick and precise autofocus performance with silent focusing while recording video.

Notable features include weather sealing that helps protect against dust and moisture, and a Custom Switch that enables the focusing ring to function either as a manual focus control (Mode 1) or as an aperture control (Mode 2). Additional Custom Switch functions are being developed and made available via firmware updates.

Fine-tuning focusing parameters and other updates for the AF 35mm F1.8 and other AF ROKINON Sony E-mount lenses can be obtained by using a ROKINON Lens Station.
