Sony’s widest prime for APS-C format cameras, the E 11mm f/1.8 lens, is a compact, lightweight travel lens. Its equivalent focal length of 16.5mm makes it an ideal choice for landscape, cityscape, and aerial photographers, as well as vloggers of all stripes. Its maximum aperture of f/1.8 delivers dependable low-light performance and selective focusing when needed. Designed with hybrid creators in mind, two linear motors power fast and quiet AF, Smooth Motion Optics (SMO) suppress focus breathing, and a dust- and moisture-resistant build provides protection against the elements. When paired with a camera body equipped with Active Mode Stabilization, it provides smooth, stable handheld capture while walking.
Applications: The ultra-wide focal length, relatively fast maximum aperture, and compact build of this lens makes it an appealing option for travel photographers and vloggers.
