Large F1.8 maximum aperture
In combination with the in-body image stabilization provided by α series cameras, the bright
F1.8 maximum aperture of this lens offers a significant advantage for hand-held shooting in low-
light situations. The high resolution of this prime lens and the smooth defocusing achieved by
its large F1.8 aperture can be utilized to create images that have impressive depth and three-
dimensionality
SAM (Smooth Autofocus Motor)
Autofocus signals received from the camera body control a motor built into the lens. The internal
motor directly drives the focusing group for smooth autofocus operation.
Uncompromised basic features
At 0.23 meters the minimum focusing the SAL35F18 makes it possible to move in for spectacular
close-ups. The front filter mount does not rotate when the lens focuses, and this is a distinct
advantage for polarizing filter use. A distance scale is also provided.
