Sony E 11mm F1.8 APS-C Ultra Wide Angle Prime Lens for APS-C cameras (SEL11F18)

Ultra-wide-angle 11 mm large F1.8 aperture prime for stills and moviesWith an 11 mm (35mm full-frame eq: 16.5 mm) focal length for dynamic images and a large F1.8 aperture for deep bokeh, this 6.5 oz. (181 g) APS-C format lens has the mobility you need to capture stunning still and movies anywhere. It also features two linear motors for fast, precise AF that supports both stills and movies.Large F1.8 maximum aperture for deep, naturally rendered bokehA large F1.8 max. aperture delivers expressive, naturally rendered bokeh in deep, impressive images. 0.4 ft (0.12 m) minimum focus and 0.2x magnification let you get close to the subject while producing beautifully defocused backgrounds. Precisely controlled spherical aberration and a 7-blade circular aperture contribute significantly to the lens’s sensational bokeh.High resolution throughout an ultra-wide field of viewInnovative optics deliver high resolution right out to the image edges. Optimal placement of three aspherical elements ideally correct field curvature for excellent resolution throughout the image area. Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively suppress chromatic aberration and color fringing for superb image quality.Compact and lightweight for extraordinary shooting freedomThis compact, lightweight lens is a perfect match for E-mount APS-C as well as Super35 cameras, providing easy handling that is great for long handheld or grip-mounted shooting sessions. Spherical and aspherical elements combine to achieve stunning optical performance in a lens that is only 2-5/8 x 2-3/8” (66 x 57.5 mm) and weighs only 6.4 oz. (181 g).Advanced autofocus maximizes the camera’s speed potentialTwo linear motors give this large-aperture lens impressively fast, precise autofocus and tracking performance for both stills and movies. AF and tracking are so responsive that the full speed potential of the camera in use can be fully realized so that even fast or erratically moving subjects can be reliably captured. A versatile tool for movie shootersAn 11 mm field of view and large F1.8 aperture makes it easy to shoot subjects against a sweeping background with beautiful bokeh. That also makes this lens ideal for vlogging as the wide field of view helps capture all of the scene even when the camera is held at arm’s length.Advanced optics for refined movies with minimal breathingState-of-the-art lens technology packed into this remarkable large-aperture ultra-wide lens reduces unwanted focus breathing and angle of view shifts when focusing. It also supports the breathing compensation function in compatible alpha cameras, further reducing unwanted angle of view shifts during focusing for smooth, high-quality movie footage.Consistent balance and center of gravity for easy handlingThanks to a refined internal focus mechanism, the lens’s length remains constant while focusing for ideal balance and handling. You can move in close to the subject, right down to the lens’s minimum focusing distance, and shoot movies or stills without being restricted by changing the lens length.Natural, repeatable linear manual focus responseFor professional manual focusing feel and repeatable response, Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle manual control. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise when shooting stills and movies.Dust and moisture resistant for robust reliabilityDust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. Silicon seals around buttons and switches and a rubber gasket around the lens mount greatly reduce the likelihood of dust and moisture incursion..
