The SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 lens is a multi coated manual prime lens that is made to work with the Sony NEX system for camera bodies such as the NEX-3 NEX-5 and NEX-VG10. Lens is in native E lens mount and will work directly on your camera! What is really special about this lens is that it is very light weight 100g and has six unique aperture blades. When wide open itproduces silky smooth bokeh. When closed down to f2.8 it forms a special shape and the bokeh of the resulting photo start to swirl with a slight Lo-fi feel. When closed down to f8 it forms a unique square shaped aperture opening. In other words it is kind of likehaving three lenses in one! It is the signature of the SLR Magic lens and it is quite interesting. The lens is great for creative photography. We occasionally receive questions about how this lens differ from the kit lens. Field of view FOV becomes 52mm on the SONY NEX camera. This is the normal focal length in 35mm photography and is great for use in proper framing for a shot which may be difficult to master with the kit lens of your camera. A perfectly round aperture is achieved at f2 for the 35mm f1.7 lens so it is great to use as a portrait/normal lens as its FOV becomes 52mm on the Sony NEX camera. The lens is a fully manual lens and it is a great lens for creative photographers who would like to take artistic photos with a shallow Depth of Field. It is easy to use Manual focus is easily achieved by the assistance of x7-x14 zoom of MF Assistance function in Live View. Users are advised to use Aperture priority A mode with this lens. User would have to select shoot w/o lens mode in the camera setting. More advanced users may use Manual mode M mode when using this lens for creative opportunities. It is also recommended to shoot in M mode when either the internal or external flash is as TTL metering is not enabled in Aperture priority mode.
