Sony E 11 mm F1.8
Sony E 11 mm F1.8
The Sony E 11 mm F1.8 lens is an interesting choice for owners of Sony mirrorless cameras with Sony E mount. For its fixed focal length of 11 mm (35mm eq.: 16.5 mm) is classified as super wide. It is mainly used for landscape, interior and architectural photography.With focal length, image distortion is largely suppressed. In terms of aperture, the lens is a fixed f/1.8 with a maximum aperture of 16. With such a low value, a shallow depth of field will be achieved, creating the popular background blur effect. A double linear motor ensures perfect focusing.

Deep, pronounced blur effect
The maximum aperture of F1.8× allows you to achieve a strong blur effect in impressive images. Minimum focusing distance of 0.12m (0.4ft) × 0.2x magnification allows you to capture close-up shots with a wide blurred background. The precisely controlled spherical aberration × circular aperture with 7 blades contributes significantly to the beautiful defocus offered by the lens.
A versatile tool for filmmakers
With the angle of view provided by the 11mm focal length and high F1.8 aperture, it's easy to capture the perspectives of dynamic subjects against vast backgrounds with beautiful blur. Advanced optical design minimizes angle-of-view changes based on focal length and reduces unwanted angle-of-view shifts in movies. The unique Sony E 11mm F1.8 ultra-wide-angle lens allows the use of front filters, offering exceptional creative flexibility in a wide range of shooting situations.
Excellent manoeuvrability and reliability
The Sony E 11mm F1.8 lens is small, but highly reliable and great to use. Manual focusing with linear response provides manual focusing, while the focus lock button and focus mode switch offer multi-tasking control. And to ensure maximum reliability in harsh outdoor conditions, it features effective dust and moisture resistance.
Compact and lightweight for exceptional shooting freedom
The lens' compact size and light weight make it ideal for use with APS-C sensor bodies. Excellent mobility and easy handling are great for handheld or grip photography. The innovative combination of spherical × aspherical elements delivers stunning performance despite the lens measuring just 66 × 57.5 mm (2 5/8 × 2 3/8 inches) and weighing only 181 g (6.4 oz).
High resolution in an extra wide field of view of 11 mm
State-of-the-art optics provide consistently high resolution right to the edges of the image. The optimal placement of the three aspherical elements ideally corrects the field curvature and ensures that excellent resolution is maintained throughout the image area, even at maximum aperture. Three ED (extra low dispersion) glass elements effectively suppress chromatic aberration and colour distortion in contours, ensuring stunning image quality.
Advanced autofocus maximises body speed
Two linear motors provide impressively fast and accurate autofocus and tracking for shooting and filming. The autofocus and tracking are so sensitive that full use can be made of body speed, so even fast or irregularly moving subjects can be captured quietly and reliably.

| Manufacturer information |
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio. In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
