  • Type

    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.

  • 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 16mm f/1.8 G is a high-performance ultra-wide-angle prime lens for full-frame cameras. It combines an impressive field of view with an exceptionally bright f/1.8 aperture, delivering outstanding clarity and control for night photography. It is the ideal choice for demanding landscape, architectural and astrophotography, as well as video content creation. It features advanced XD linear motors for lightning-fast, quiet focusing, while dramatically reducing focus breathing. Its exceptionally compact design, weighing just 304 grams, and dust- and moisture-resistant construction ensure outstanding portability.

G Lens Optical Design with AA and Super ED Elements

The 16mm focal length provides exceptionally wide viewing angles on a full-frame camera.
It incorporates two advanced, high-precision AA (Advanced Aspherical) lens elements.
The aspherical elements drastically minimize field curvature and astigmatism.
It features one Super ED glass element and three ED elements to reduce chromatic aberration.
The optimized coating effectively minimizes internal reflections and ghosting.
It delivers impressive resolution across the entire image area at all apertures.

Bright F1.8 Aperture and 11-Blade Circular Bokeh

The ultra-bright maximum aperture of F1.8 makes it easy to shoot in low light.
It ensures high light transmission, making it ideal for night scenes and landscapes.
The iris features an 11-blade circular aperture mechanism for perfect geometry.
Combined with carefully controlled spherical aberration, it produces a deep, expressive effect.
It creates beautiful, smooth background defocus (bokeh) with velvety transitions.
It brings out the main subject with unique dimensionality, harmoniously isolating it from its surroundings.

Exceptional Close-Ups from 0.13 m and a Wide Perspective

The lens stands out for its outstanding performance in extreme close-up photography.
It offers a minimum focusing distance of just 0.13 m with 0.30x magnification when using MF.
With autofocus (AF), it focuses at 0.15 m with a maximum magnification of 0.25x from the subject.
It lets creators get up close while making the most of its wide-angle perspective.
It combines dramatic foreground distortion with deep, striking background blur.
An excellent tool for creative artistic compositions and capturing details in nature.

XD Linear Motors and Focus Breathing Control

The drive system includes two XD (extreme Dynamic) linear motors.
It ensures fast autofocus and precise tracking of moving subjects.
A dedicated control algorithm minimizes latency and motion vibration.
The lens strictly controls focus breathing for perfectly stable video footage.
It supports the breathing compensation function and Active Mode stabilization on Alpha cameras.
Linear Response MF provides an immediate, precise feel.

Compact 304g Body, Full Control and Weather Resistance

The lens stands out for its compact design, weighing just 304 g and measuring 73.8 x 75 mm.
It features an aperture ring with an ON/OFF click switch and an iris lock switch.
The body incorporates a customizable focus hold button and an AF/MF switch.
It is built with an advanced design for dust and moisture resistance.
The front element features a fluorine coating that repels dirt and accepts 67 mm filters.
It is part of Sony’s Road to Zero environmental program, with sustainable, plastic-free packaging.
