The Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G lens offers a balanced focal length that is ideal for a wide range of photographic situations, from street and landscape to travel photography. Combining a smart, compact design with the superior optics of the G Lens series, this lens delivers exceptional sharpness and clarity. The f/2.5 aperture allows for beautiful subject isolation and great low-light performance.
Part of a matched set of compact primes, which also includes the FE 24mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/2.5 G, the 40mm lens shares a similar aesthetic, image quality, and ergonomics. These three lenses prioritize portability with compact profiles, manual aperture rings, and tactile controls, ensuring intuitive handling for both seasoned professionals and hobbyists. Additionally, they all share a 49mm filter thread diameter and feature matching aluminum finishes and metal lens hoods for a cohesive look.
The FE 40mm f/2.5 G also offers fast and quiet autofocus performance, thanks to two linear motors that ensure accurate subject tracking and smooth transitions, making it ideal for both stills and video. The internal focusing mechanism keeps the lens compact while enhancing focus response. With a minimum focusing distance of 9.8 inches in manual focus mode, it delivers impressive close-up capabilities.
Designed for durability, the lens is dust- and moisture-sealed, enabling it to perform well in challenging weather conditions. The fluorine-coated front element repels dust, moisture, and fingerprints, making it easy to clean and maintain. Its light weight (6.1 oz) and small size (1.8 inches) make it an ideal companion for both full-frame and APS-C bodies, ensuring that you never have to leave this versatile lens behind.
