The Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G is a prime lens for Sony E-mount cameras, with a seven-blade aperture that creates natural background blur. Autofocus uses two linear motors for fast, quiet operation, and linear response manual focus is also supported. Internal focusing keeps the lens length constant while focusing, and the front element does not rotate.

  • Type

    Standard

    The visual they offer is very close to the human eye and is often called "normal". They provide a natural result with minimal distortions and their focal distance is usually 40-55mm in full frame, 25-40mm in crop frame, and 80-100mm in medium format.

    Wide Angle

    Wide-angle lenses with optics that allow for fitting many elements within the frame with relatively little distortion. Their focal distance is usually 24-35mm for full-frame, 15-25mm for crop frame, and 50-70mm for medium format. They are commonly used in street photography but also in indoor spaces where there is limited distance from the subject. The perspective of wide-angle lenses makes things appear farther apart than they actually are.

  • Mount

    The type of mount that the camera body must have in order for the lens to be fully functional when attached to it.

    2. Some lenses can be used with older mounts from the same manufacturer, sacrificing certain functions (e.g. autofocus), or even with mounts from other manufacturers using an adapter.

  • Item

    Lenses with variable optical (zoom) that remain equally bright (same maximum aperture value) throughout the entire focal distance range they offer. Usually significantly more expensive than their variable aperture counterparts.

    Fixed Focal Length

    Lenses with fixed optics are usually of higher quality than a corresponding zoom lens at the same focal distance. They are also called "fixed" or "prime" lenses.

  • Sensor Type

    Full Frame

    Photographic lenses designed for use on full frame sensor cameras. A full frame lens can also be used on a crop frame sensor camera, but with its focal length adjusted according to the corresponding crop factor.

    For example, a full frame lens with a focal length of 50mm (standard) on a camera body with a crop factor of 1.6 will function with a perspective as if it were an 80mm lens (telephoto).

    The reverse does not work as the optics of a crop frame lens are not sufficient to cover an entire full frame sensor, resulting in the edges of the frame being black (severe vignetting).

  • Maximum Aperture (f)

    Opening the diaphragm determines the amount of light received by the camera and affects the depth of field.
    2. The most open aperture of a lens is called the maximum. The more open the aperture (smaller f-number), the shallower the depth of field.

Description

Description

The Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G is a prime lens for Sony E-mount cameras, with a seven-blade aperture that creates natural background blur. Autofocus uses two linear motors for fast, quiet operation, and linear response manual focus is also supported. Internal focusing keeps the lens length constant while focusing, and the front element does not rotate.

The body and lens hood have an aluminum finish, while the construction is designed to resist dust and moisture. The aperture ring lets you turn click stops on or off, while the focus hold button can be assigned a function through the camera menu.

    Incredible little lens. It transforms any body into a compact setup ideal for daily use and travel. Especially if you get it during a cashback period, it's even more worth it.

    Of course, it has competition regarding its price. The Sigma 45mm f/2.8 is also a strong option with a noticeable price difference, and of course, the now well-known Chinese Viltrox 40mm f/2.5 and TTArtisan 40mm f/2.0 at ridiculously low prices compared to the Sony. There's also the Samyang 45mm f/1.8 at a good price and with a significant difference in brightness. So if budget is an issue, it's clear that any of the above lenses will do the job.

    But if you decide to spend the money and given that the focal length suits you, in my humble opinion, it does not disappoint. For experimenting with 40mm to see if it suits you, obviously it's more advantageous to buy one of the aforementioned lenses.

    Excellent build quality, very good handling without lacking anything despite its very small size, and optically excellent. Maybe I could say that sometimes it has somewhat more pronounced chromatic aberration, which is not a problem in JPEG files and also during RAW processing.

    Below are some links with images from the lens mounted on an A7IV, for anyone who wants to see more shots due to the image limitation here.

    A lens for special requirements. (40mm)

    This particular series of lenses was sorely missing from Sony. Compact (almost like a pancake), incredibly light and quite fast in focusing.
    It is mainly aimed at amateurs, but also hobbyists/enthusiasts.

    The image quality is excellent and does not lag behind any of the other prime lenses in the G series.

    With an aperture of f2.5, it is not the brightest, but now the capabilities of Sony cameras at higher ISO help you "cover" those few stops. It also has satisfactory Bokeh.

    This lens is ideal for street photography due to its size. Also for everyday casual/family photography.
    But I believe that even in portraits (especially if someone gets the 50mm) will be quite satisfied.
