Lens Technology section on p.26–28. 

The large-aperture G Lens series brings together a wealth of 
advanced technology to provide you with an exceptionally 
refined level of optical performance. Its aspherical lens 
elements improve lens performance; ED (Extra-low Dispersion) 
glass minimizes the chromatic aberrations that occur at large 
apertures; and the circular aperture makes smooth, beautiful 
defocusing possible. The resulting difference in quality is clear 
to see... and clearly breathtaking.

Modulation Transfer 

Function (MTF) 

MTF is a measurement of how well a lens 
can reproduce fine details at a high level 
of contrast. The curves below show lens 
performance at two levels of spatial frequency 
(10 or 30 line pairs/mm) for two types of 
targets (radial R, tangential T). Performance is 
measured at two settings: open and F8.  
For each condition, contrast level changes at 
various points away from the center of  
the image. 

SAL35F14G

35mm F1.4 G

Lens groups/elements: 8/10
Minimum focus: 11-13/16” (0.3 m)
Filter diameter:  mm
 Size: (diameter x length): 2-3/ x 3” 
(69 x 76 mm)
Weight: 1 lb 2 oz (10 g)

Fast wide-angle lens with superior image quality at wide 
apertures thanks to glass-molded aspheric lens elements. 
Achieves high resolution and high contrast from corner to 
corner, with shallow depth of field also possible because 
of the large maximum aperture. This unique lens gives a 
special touch to portraits and landscapes, and is ideal for 
handheld shooting. For comfortable handling, includes a 
focus hold button and a focus ring that does not rotate  
during AF operation.
