fujikko Speaks | A Perspective of Entrusting the Heart to 35mm | SONY FE 35mm F1.4 GM | Knowledge #258

A large-aperture prime lens with a 35mm focal length and a bright F1.4 aperture. Its 10-group, 14-element construction delivers high resolution and beautiful bokeh, while the 11-blade circular aperture enables smooth bokeh effects. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.27m (in AF mode), it supports close-up photography. Weighing approximately 524g, it is lightweight and portable, with fast and precise autofocus performance, making it versatile for a wide range of scenes.

For me, the 35mm focal length is a special lens that allows me to capture everyday life from a 'life-sized' perspective.

It offers the flexibility to get closer or step back, enabling me to photograph the world with a natural sense of distance, as if I were seeing it with my own eyes.

There’s also the joy of considering composition—deciding what to include and what to leave out—which nurtures my aesthetic sense.

When capturing moments with my children, I’ve often been saved by the perspective this lens provides.

Ordinary daily life feels special when captured in a photograph. For instance, one evening at the park, I was playing with soap bubbles with my son.

His smile as he became absorbed in the bubbles, the shimmering particles of light floating around him, and the colors of the air tinged with the sunset.

The 35mm lens preserved both his joyful expression and the gentle atmosphere of twilight.

It’s not just about capturing fun moments; this lens quietly captures the atmosphere and emotions as well.

Every time I revisit my photos, the feelings I experienced at that moment come vividly back to life.

My daily life is a series of irreplaceable moments spent with my children. The 35mm lens gently captures each of those fleeting moments.

That’s why I’ve entrusted my heart to this focal length time and time again.
