4.3

A new prime lens for general photography makes a welcome addition to Sony's 'Easy Choice' lens range.The DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM (SAL35F18) was one of three new lenses announced by Sony in July, 2010. Designed to provide an affordable, compact and lightweight prime lens with a popular focal length for both entry-level and advanced photographers it's less than one fifth of the price of Sony's other 35mm prime lens, the SAL35F14G, which retails for $2,699 and is the only in line-up.
