Sony E 11mm f/1.8 Lens
Ultra-wide APS-C prime with fast f/1.8 aperture for vlogging, travel and landscapes
Overview
The Sony E 11mm f/1.8 is an ultra-wide APS-C prime lens for E-mount cameras, delivering a 16.5mm equivalent focal length in an especially sleek and lightweight design. It’s a perfect match for selfie-style vlogging, architecture, landscapes, and travel, offering expansive framing while remaining well-balanced on compact APS-C bodies.
A bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enables shallow depth of field, attractive background blur, and solid low-light performance. The refined optical design maintains high sharpness across the frame while reducing chromatic aberrations and other distortions. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm further enhances the lens’s ability to render smooth, natural bokeh.
Driven by a dual linear motor AF system and an internal focusing design, the lens offers fast, quiet and precise autofocus that’s well-suited for both stills and video. With suppressed focus breathing (SMO), dust- and moisture-resistant construction, and intuitive handling, the E 11mm f/1.8 is a powerful ultra-wide tool for creators on the move.
