The walimex pro 35/1.4 lens is the ideal focal length for ready-to-shoot reportage use. In combination with an 85mm it is always the right combination: overview and detail. The outstanding advantage of the 35mm lies in its freedom from distortion: it brings more image onto the sensor, but the typical wide-angle distortions or receding perspective do not yet occur. The very high aperture of 1.4 allows up to 3 stops of reserve compared to a standard varifocal lens. The light intensity is also visible in the brightness of the viewfinder, which provides adjustment reliability.
The lens is equipped with internal focussing. Lens groups are shifted internally, the overall length of the optics does not change and the front mount does not rotate when focussing. Graduated and polarising filters can therefore be easily attached (size 77mm). Optical construction 12 lens elements in 10 groups testify to the enormous effort that has gone into achieving a high-performance, very good optical system. One lens is aspherically ground, 2 others have high refraction glass. Despite the medium image angle, hardly any aberrations are recognisable even at full aperture.
A chip built into the lens enables employees to work with automatic exposure or programme mode. EXIF data such as aperture, ISO value or exposure time are also transferred. Note: When using the lens on an autofocus DSLR compatible with Nikon, please set the aperture ring on the lens to the smallest value, the aperture 22 marked in red. This ensures that the EXIF data is transferred and the camera can now control the aperture directly in the shutter speed/aperture and programme automatic modes. Focusing is purely manual.
A large number of lens errors such as distortion, edge blur or vignetting occur in the outer areas of the image. If you use a lens calculated for full format on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not utilised. This ensures maximum quality. Additional post-processing time to correct lens errors is therefore not required.

Source: Digitec GalaxusDie größte Schwachstelle des Walimex pro AE 1,4 / 35 mm ist die Tatsache, das es hier keinen Autofokus gibt. Wenn man sich damit abfinden kann, handelt es sich hier um ein gutes Objektiv mit Festbrennweite. Dieses überzeugt mit guter Auflösung, einer ordentlichen Objektivgüte und auch einer gelungenen Ausstattung.
Das Walimex ist in gewissen Bereichen sehr gut und wiederum in anderen eher nicht. Ein sehr seltsames verhalten denn bei Offenblende führt das zu einem geringen Schärfeverlust. Bei 1,4 arbeitet das Objektiv eher mäßig, wobei dennoch eine Empfehlung ausgesprochen wird.
Wegen des sehr günstigen Preises liefert das Objektiv sehr gute Werte. Es ist in einem Kunststoff- Metallgehäuse gut umfasst und hochwertig verarbeit. Es liefert eine konstante und gleichmäßige Auflösung die jedoch wegen der geringen Details recht niedrig ausfällt. Dagegen sind aber die leicht sichtbaren Verzeichnungen gut unterdrückt.
Zugreifen erlaubt! Walimex bietet mit dem pro 35mm F1,4 AS UMC eine zwar nicht ganz so preiswerte Alternative zu herstellereigenen Objektiven an. Neben der hochwertigen Verarbeitung überzeugt das Walimex, trotz Schwächen bei Offenblende, mit einer außerordentlichen Abbildungsleistung. Für scharfe Bilder sollten Sie daher die Blende ab f/2 bevorzugen.
