Key specs

Both versions have a 35mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/1.2, the smallest aperture is f/22. The construction has 9 elements in 7 groups, and the diaphragm has 12 blades. The minimum focusing distance is 0.3 m (maximum reproduction ratio 1:5.8), the filter thread measures 58 mm, and a lens hood is included. Focusing is manual, and the aperture is set on the aperture ring[2][3].

Sony E version

The Sony E version weighs 380 g and measures 68.1 mm in diameter by 60.2 mm in length, with an angle of view of 61.9°. Electronic contacts pass on Exif data, a built-in distance encoder enables in-body image stabilization (5-axis, only on matching bodies), and the focus ring triggers the magnified viewfinder display. A switch changes the aperture ring from click stops to stepless, so the click sound is not recorded during video capture[2].

Nikon Z version

The Nikon Z version weighs 390 g and measures 67.6 mm in diameter by 62.4 mm in length, with an angle of view of 61.7°. It has a full-frame image circle and can be used on full-frame (FX) and APS-C (DX) cameras. Electronic contacts support Exif data, in-body image stabilization (3-axis, only on matching bodies) and three focus aids: color change of the focus point frame, focus peaking and magnification via a camera button[3].
