The ultra-wide-angle lens with a fixed focal length and large aperture in G Master quality features an innovative, compact design. State-of-the-art technology ensures high resolution and beautiful bokeh even at the maximum aperture of F1.8. With fast, precise AF and high mobility, new perspectives can be captured.
The two XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements of the lens, which meet the strict G Master standards, provide high resolution up to the edge of the image, even at the maximum aperture of F1.8. A Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two ED glass elements prevent color fringing for impressive sharpness and clarity, while Sony's AR Nano Coating II minimizes reflections and ghosting effects.
Precise aspherical elements, including two high-precision XA elements, in innovative optical G Master design deliver exceptional overall performance with two modern XD linear motors from Sony in a compact lens that weighs only 460 grams. The ultra-wide-angle lens with a large aperture can be taken anywhere to reimagine the world.
The versatility of the large aperture and extremely wide field of view is complemented by a curved XA front element that minimizes sagittal reflections in starry skies and other night shots. With the maximum aperture of F1.8 of the compact lens, capturing images in challenging lighting conditions without long exposure times is always possible, anywhere.
With precise XA elements, a circular aperture with nine blades, and ideally set deviation, this ultra-wide-angle lens enables beautiful background bokeh without unwanted onion rings. The minimum focus distance is only 0.25 m - allowing you to combine dynamic close-ups with aesthetic background bokeh directly.
Two XD linear motors enable precise alignment of the lens focus groups, resulting in fast, precise, and quiet AF performance, maximizing the speed potential of E-mount cameras. The quiet, low-vibration AF is an unparalleled advantage for wide-angle videos. Thanks to mobility and quick response time, any subject can be depicted according to creative ideas.
In addition to the fluorine coating on the front element that protects against water, oil, and other contaminants, the rear element is also equipped with a corresponding coating to prevent the surface from getting dirty when changing a rear filter. The dust and moisture-resistant design enhances reliability when the ultra-wide-angle lens with a large aperture is used in challenging outdoor conditions.
