Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM
The benchmark 35mm G Master for E-mount, with f/1.4 and XA-element correction marking it as a top-tier pro wide-normal. At 524g it's built for weddings and reportage where you want one fast lens doing the heavy lifting. If you're packing a compact travel kit, the FE 35mm f/1.8 weighs roughly half as much and is the smarter carry.
