Versatile Ultra-Wide Prime. The Sony E 11mm f/1.8’s versatile, 16.5mm equivalent focal length makes it great for handheld selfie-style vlogging, content creation, architecture photography, and landscape photography. The fast f/1.8 aperture is great for low-light shooting and subject-background isolation.

Advanced Optical Design. The 11mm’s eleven-group/twelve-element design includes three aspherical elements and three Extra-Low Dispersion elements, which combine to produce clear, high-contrast images while minimizing chromatic aberrations and distortion. The lens’s rounded seven-blade diaphragm gives images smooth out-of-focus areas when you desire a shallow depth of field.

Focusing Performance. A Linear Motor autofocus system uses two separate motors for fast, precise, and nearly silent focus and tracking performance, making it ideal for video and stills alike. You can use the AF/MF switch on the barrel to quickly switch between focus modes, while the internal focusing design keeps the lens length consistent while upping responsiveness. If you’re using manual focus, the minimum focusing distance is 4.7 inches with a 0.2x maximum magnification. If you’re using autofocus, minimum focusing distance is 5.9 inches with a 0.13x maximum magnification. No matter what, you’ll be able to get pretty close to your subject.

Compact, High-Quality Build. The 11mm boasts a lightweight, compact build that’s weather-sealed so that you can use it in inclement conditions without worry.
