Sony 11mm f/1.8 Lens

The technical details behind this lens

Capture that exquisite bokeh with the Sony 11mm f/1.8 Lens. The 11mm F1.8’s ultra-wide angle of view is ideal for interior shots and images that make expressive use of depth of field. Three aspherical elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, achieve consistently high resolution from the image centre to periphery, despite the lens’s ultra-wide 11 mm angle of view. The aspherical lenses are carefully positioned to compensate for distortion and deliver excellent corner-to-corner resolution even with the aperture wide open. The addition of ED glass further suppresses chromatic aberration and effectively reduces colour fringing that is more likely to occur in the image periphery.

Outstanding lens control

Despite its compact dimensions, the 11mm F1.8 offers flexible, intuitive control with features such as a focus hold button and focus mode switch. An alternative function chosen by the user can be assigned to the focus hold button from the body menu. Dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions.

Optimised for Movie shooting

Two advanced linear motors provide fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking for both stills and video, maximising the speed potential of the camera body used to focus even on moving subjects. Sony’s latest lens technology greatly reduces focus breathing and angle-of view variations are minimised for smooth, stable movie imagery.
