As you see, all these lenses are connected by fastness, moderately wide angle of view, solidity and high price. I must admit I am surprised that the independent manufacturers as well as Nikon and Olympus doesn’t have such an instrument on offer. A lens with this angle of view and so fast is a very universal equipment - you really doesn’t want to stop working with it.

As we mentioned before, the quality of the Sony 1.4/35 G is high. A solid metal barrel from one side starts with a metal bayonet and from the other ends with a non-rotating filter thread, 55 mm in diameter (the smallest in its class). In the middle you can find a clear distance scale beneath a glass and a manual focus ring. Although the ring works with due resistance it is completely smooth. A corrugated, bigger ring would be more comfortable here as it would allow more precision. Below the ring, on the left from the distance scale we find also a focus blockade pin (FHB).
Inside the lens body there are 10 lenses in 8 groups. One element is aspherical. In the middle of the system there is a round nine blades aperture, which can be stopped down to f/22.
The buyer gets both caps, a soft case and a lens hood.
