Sony E 11mm f/1.8 Lens

Overview

The Sony E 11mm f/1.8 Lens is a compact ultra-wide prime lens designed for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras. Offering an 11mm focal length with a 16.5mm full-frame equivalent field of view, it is well suited to vlogging, architecture, landscapes, travel shooting, interiors, and wide handheld compositions.

With a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, fast dual linear autofocus motors, and a lightweight 181 g design, this lens is built for creators who need a wide field of view without adding unnecessary bulk. Its suppressed focus breathing, internal focus design, and close focusing capability also make it a strong option for video, close-up detail shots, and selfie-style recording.

Core Features

• Ultra-wide 11mm focal length provides a 16.5mm full-frame equivalent angle of view for vlogging, interiors, architecture, and landscapes.
• Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture supports low-light shooting and shallow depth of field control.
• Dual linear motors deliver fast, quiet, and precise autofocus for stills and video capture.
• Internal focusing maintains a consistent lens length during operation for stable handling.
• Smooth Motion Optics helps suppress focus breathing for more consistent framing during focus transitions.
• Close focusing performance allows a minimum focus distance of 12 cm with up to 0.2x magnification in manual focus.
• Dust- and moisture-resistant construction supports use in challenging outdoor shooting conditions.
• Rounded 7-blade diaphragm helps produce smooth and natural-looking background blur.

Ultra-Wide Perspective for APS-C

The 11mm focal length gives APS-C shooters an expansive 104° angle of view, making it ideal for capturing dramatic perspectives, tight interiors, broad landscapes, and arm’s-length vlogging shots with more background context in frame.

Video-Focused Performance

Designed with hybrid creators in mind, the lens uses quiet linear autofocus motors, internal focusing, and focus breathing suppression to support smoother video capture. It is also compatible with Breathing Compensation on select Sony Alpha cameras.

Compact Everyday Design

Measuring just 57.5 mm long and weighing only 181 g, the lens pairs well with compact Sony APS-C camera bodies for travel, gimbal work, handheld shooting, and everyday content creation.
