    Advanced optical design

    Two XA (Extreme Aspherical) lens elements and three aspheric elements minimise distortion, curvature and astigmatism. Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements suppress colour distortion, while an advanced nano AR (Anti Reflection) coating on optical surfaces drastically reduces flare and ghosting. The floating focus mechanism is optimised for motion picture applications, ensuring outstanding resolution and very low distortion at any shooting distance.

    Precise, responsive manual focus

    The SELC1635G features a smooth and silent Linear Response MF drive, to deliver lag-free manual focus for accurate and intuitive DoP (Director of Photography) and camera operator control.  The geared focus ring offers a long-throw (140 degree) rotation for fine control, with stops and a clear distance scale for consistent focus pulls and resets during multiple takes. Catering for a range of film-makers, it additionally offers reversible zoom ring rotation and the option to engage aperture click-stops, providing tactile feedback for precise adjustment.

    Resolution and bokeh raised to new heights

    Resolution and bokeh raised to new heights

    This lens features two Sony XA (extreme aspherical) elements with 0.01 micron surface precision. Distortion that tends to occur in wide-angle zoom lenses is meticulously controlled, as are astigmatism and field curvature. Unattractive onion-ring bokeh is effectively suppressed by XA (extreme aspherical) elements so that smooth, beautiful bokeh is achieved in out-of-focus areas.

    Clarity and contrast in any light

    Clarity and contrast in any light

    Sony's original Nano AR Coating suppresses spurious reflections that can cause flare and ghosting in backlit and other challenging lighting situations, for consistently high contrast and clarity. Freedom from flare over a wide range of incident light angles provides greater framing and composing flexibility, particularly at wide-angle focal lengths. (1. Nano AR Coating / 2. Glass / 3.

    11 blades enhance bokeh beauty

    Sony's original 11-blade circular aperture contributes to even greater bokeh quality. Design and materials have been revised to maintain a round shape, and strict circularity standards are applied to ensure that the full beauty of the lens's bokeh is achieved without compromise.

    The SELC1635G has an industry-standard 0.8mm pitch gear and 114mm lens diameter, providing compatibility with a wide range of accessories from matte boxes to follow-focus systems. The zoom ring rotation is also reversible to accommodate creators from select still image lens systems.

    Detachable servo zoom

    Detachable servo zoom

    The included servo unit provides comfortable fingertip control for smooth, gradual zooms suitable for a slow moving drama or promotional video. Servo and Manual control are switchable by the button on the lens unit, and while set to servo, you can control zoom via camera’s handle or grip zoom. Also, the servo can be detached if preferred.

    Fast, accurate AF and AE

    Fast, accurate AF and AE

    The SELC1635G fully supports the Enhanced Hybrid phase/contrast detection autofocus (AF) and Auto Exposure (AE) capabilities of the FX9 full-frame camera. This breakthrough technology allows you to concentrate on framing while the camera and lens work seamlessly together to maintain focus on subjects with shallow depth of field.

    Fast, precise autofocus

    Fast, precise autofocus

    Dual piezoelectric DD-SSM (Direct Drive SuperSonic Motor) mechanisms drive the floating focus system. The proprietary Sony design actuates two independent focus groups for high speed and precision, as well as quiet movement. This makes it ideal for autofocus during movie recording, in addition to still image capture.
