Sony Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA - Sony E-mount

The Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA is an exceptionally compact 'pancake' style prime lens for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Weighing only 120g, it is designed for portability without compromising optical quality, making it an ideal choice for street and travel photography. The Zeiss Sonnar design incorporates three double-sided aspherical elements and a T* coating to manage aberrations and flare. It features a dust and moisture-resistant construction and comes with a unique cap-style lens hood. When inspecting a used 35mm f/2.8 ZA, check the condition of the rear element and the mount, as these are often subjected to frequent lens changes. SDS verifies the autofocus performance and ensures the T* coating is intact and free from cleaning marks. The peculiar 'cap' hood should be present and fit securely. Check the fine-textured focus ring for any grit or resistance during manual operation.
