A Next-Generation Classic

The AF 35mm F1.4 FE II represents Samyang’s ongoing evolution in mirrorless lens design. Offering the same beloved 35mm focal length with enhanced optics, faster autofocus, and improved handling, this lens is perfect for everything from street and portrait photography to video production.

With its versatile wide-angle field of view, it captures scenes naturally — ideal for daily life, events, travel, and environmental portraits. Whether shooting on a Sony Alpha full-frame or APS-C camera, this lens delivers rich, vibrant results with every shot.

Outstanding Sharpness and Optical Performance

Inside, the AF 35mm F1.4 FE II features 11 elements in 9 groups, including:

• 2 Aspherical (ASP) elements to minimise distortion and spherical aberrations

• 2 High Refractive (HR) elements for superior image clarity

• Samyang’s UMC (Ultra Multi-Coating) to suppress reflections, flare, and ghosting

The result is incredible sharpness and contrast from corner to corner, even at the wide-open F1.4 aperture. Colours appear natural and true-to-life, and images retain detail across the entire frame — even in complex lighting environments.

Bright F1.4 Aperture for Depth and Light

The large F1.4 aperture gives photographers full control over depth of field, allowing for beautifully blurred backgrounds that make subjects pop.
Low-light scenes are handled effortlessly — perfect for nighttime street shots, indoor portraits, or concert photography. The 9-blade circular diaphragm produces a smooth, rounded bokeh, enhancing the lens’s artistic potential.

Faster, Quieter Autofocus with Linear STM Motor

The upgraded Linear STM (Stepping Motor) ensures faster and more precise autofocus than the previous generation, with near-silent operation. This makes the lens ideal not only for photography but also for video recording, where smooth, unobtrusive focus transitions are key.
Tracking moving subjects is seamless, giving you reliable results for portraits, lifestyle shoots, and cinematic video projects.

Enhanced Control and Customisation

The new Focus Hold Button allows photographers to lock focus instantly — perfect for maintaining critical sharpness while recomposing.
Meanwhile, the Custom Mode Switch adds flexibility to your workflow, letting you reassign lens functions (such as Aperture Control Mode or Manual Focus Mode) using the Samyang Lens Station (available separately).
This ensures your lens is always tailored to your preferred shooting style.

Close-Up Creativity with 29cm Minimum Focus Distance

Get closer to your subjects and explore fresh creative angles. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.29m, you can capture food, detail shots, and artistic close-ups with impressive depth and clarity — all while enjoying that signature wide-angle perspective.

Built to Last: Modern Design with Weather-Sealing

Crafted with durability in mind, the AF 35mm F1.4 FE II features a premium aluminium focus ring for smooth, tactile control.
Weather-sealing in four key areas protects against dust, moisture, and light rain, so you can shoot with confidence in any environment — from urban streets to outdoor landscapes.

Perfect for Hybrid Creators

Designed for today’s content creators, the AF 35mm F1.4 FE II delivers equally strong performance in both stills and video. The smooth focus transitions, silent operation, and intuitive controls make it ideal for Sony Alpha hybrid shooters who demand cinematic results without compromise.
