Wherever Your Story Begins
Following the introduction of the AF 35mm F1.4 P FE in 2024 and the AF 16mm F2.8 P FE and AF 85mm F1.8 P FE in 2025, the Prima Series lineup continues to grow. Built on the philosophy of portability, practicality, and usability, the Prima Series offers compact and lightweight prime lenses designed for both photography and video creation.
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE continues this vision as a versatile everyday 35mm lens that balances image quality, portability, and creative flexibility.
Compact and Lightweight Design
-
Made for Everyday Carry
Designed with everyday portability in mind, the AF 35mm F1.8 P FE continues the Prima Series philosophy of compact and lightweight lens design. With a slim Φ69.8mm diameter and a convenient 62mm filter size, it integrates effortlessly into lightweight setups and is easy to carry all day. Its compact form pairs perfectly with portable full frame cameras such as the Sony α7C series and ZV E models, making it an ideal everyday lens for travel, street photography, and hybrid content creation.
Bright F1.8 Aperture with Natural Bokeh
-
Balanced Performance for Photo and Video
The bright F1.8 aperture offers excellent flexibility across various lighting conditions, allowing creators to shoot confidently from bright daylight to low light environments. A 9 blade rounded aperture creates smooth and natural background blur, delivering beautiful subject separation for portraits, lifestyle photography, and cinematic video production.
Next-Generation Technology
-
'Linear STM II' for Hybrid Creators
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is equipped with the next-generation Linear STM II autofocus motor. Combined with continuously refined firmware algorithms, the Linear STM II system delivers faster, more accurate, and quieter autofocus performance, ensuring smooth focusing transitions for both still photography and video recording.
This improved autofocus system allows creators to capture dynamic scenes with greater precision and stability. -
'XHR Element' for Higher Performance
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE features an advanced optical construction of 10 elements in 8 groups, including 2 ASP (Aspherical) elements and 2 newly developed XHR elements. The XHR (Extra High Refractive) lens element is manufactured with higher precision compared to conventional high-refractive index elements, allowing for a more compact optical structure while effectively reducing optical aberrations.
-
'UMC II' for Improved Image Clarity
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE features UMC II (Ultra Multi Coating II), LK SAMYANG’s next generation coating technology. It effectively reduces flare and ghosting, delivering improved contrast and clarity even in challenging lighting conditions such as strong backlight or night scenes. This ensures cleaner and more vibrant images in real world shooting situations.
A New Design for the Prima Series

Details Make the Difference A New Deisign for the Prima Series
The lens body is constructed from specially developed high strength engineering plastic, combining lightweight portability with excellent durability and a refined finish. A newly designed lens hood helps block unwanted light, reducing flare and ghosting while maintaining sharp and clear images.
Enhanced Usability for Real-World Shooting
-
Packed with Essential Features
The AF 35mm F1.8 P FE is designed with only the essential features creators need, all within a compact and lightweight body. It includes a dedicated AF MF switch for quick control and a USB C port on the mount for easy firmware updates.
