TBD. Sending NIS to create Asin's to go live at mfg's annoucment. From the
Manufacturer E 35mm F1.8 OSS Prime LensHigh performance and a compact design
make the SEL-35F18 an ideal “second lens” that is easy to carry around when
capturing the action. It’s ideal for a wide variety of photos, including
snapshots while strolling, night shots (thanks to the bright maximum aperture)
and portraits with superb background/foreground blur.TechnologyCircular
ApertureWhen changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light
sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be
enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional
aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped
defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique
design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open
setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can
be obtained as a result.ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glassAs focal lengths get
longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with
chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower
color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic
aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the
entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides
enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration.Aspherical lens
elementsAspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while
also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight
misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by
differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses
which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped
“aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at
the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum
aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce
distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of
elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced
Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high
thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly
difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to
consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy,
resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality.Lens-based
optical image stabilizationGyro sensors built into the lens detect even the
slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to
counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear
motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders
results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes
to high-quality movies as well as stills.Additional FeaturesInternal
focusingOnly the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so
the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits
include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the
filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if
you’re using a polarizing filter.2012 Sony Electronics Inc. All rights
