The Sony E 11mm f/1.8 lens is a sleek and ultra-wide prime lens designed for APS-C-format mirrorless cameras. Offering a 16.5mm equivalent focal length, it’s an excellent choice for a wide variety of shooting scenarios, including landscapes, architecture, and even selfie-style vlogging. With its compact size and bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, it provides an ideal combination of portability, low-light performance, and a shallow depth of field for creative shots.
This lens features an impressive optical design that ensures sharpness across the frame while reducing chromatic aberrations and color fringing. Its rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural bokeh, making it great for selective focus techniques. Whether capturing expansive vistas or close-up subjects, the lens offers high clarity and precise rendering.
Autofocus is quick, quiet, and accurate, thanks to the Linear Motor system, which uses dual motors for improved tracking and precise control. The internal focusing mechanism maintains a consistent lens length during use, offering enhanced responsiveness. Additionally, the lens supports Smooth Motion Optics (SMO) to reduce focus breathing, providing stable and accurate compositional shifts when changing focus. It’s also compatible with the Breathing Compensation function in select Alpha cameras.
The lens is highly portable, measuring just 2.3 inches in length and weighing only 6.4 oz, making it a perfect travel companion. The dust- and moisture-resistant design ensures it performs reliably in challenging conditions. Customizable focus hold buttons and intuitive handling enhance the overall user experience. Whether walking, vlogging, or capturing intricate details, this lens delivers exceptional quality and ease of use.
