Features

  • Ultra-wide Angle 11 mm & Large F1.8 Aperture

    With an 11 mm focal length for dynamic images and a large F1.8 aperture for deep bokeh, this 6.5 oz. APS-C format lens has the mobility you need to capture stunning still and movies anywhere.

  • Large F1.8 Maximum Aperture

    A large F1.8 max. aperture delivers expressive, naturally rendered bokeh in deep, impressive images. 0.4 ft minimum focus and 0.2x magnification let you get close to the subject while producing beautifully defocused backgrounds

  • High Resolution for an Ultra-wide View

    Innovative optics deliver high resolution right out to the image edges. Optimal placement of three aspherical elements ideally correct field curvature for excellent resolution throughout the image area.

  • Compact and Lightweight for Extraordinary Shooting Freedom

    This compact, lightweight lens is a perfect match for E-mount APS-C as well as Super35 cameras, providing easy handling that is great for long handheld or grip-mounted shooting sessions.

  • Advanced Autofocusl

    Two linear motors give this large-aperture lens impressively fast, precise autofocus and tracking performance for both stills and movies, as it maximizes the camera's speed potential.

  • Versatile for Movie Shooters

    An 11 mm field of view and large F1.8 aperture make it easy to shoot subjects against sweeping background with beautiful bokeh.

  • Advanced Optics for Refined Movies with Minimal Breathing

    State-of-the-art lens technology packed into this remarkable large-aperture ultra-wide lens reduces unwanted focus breathing and angle of view shifts when focusing.

  • Center of Gravity Balance

    Thanks to a refined internal focus mechanism, the lens’ length remains constant while focusing for ideal, consistent balance and easy handling.

  • Natural, Repeatable Linear Manual Focus Response

    For professional manual focusing feel and repeatable response, Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle manual control.

  • Dust and Moisture Resistant for Robust Reliability

    Dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. Silicon seals around buttons and switches and a rubber gasket around the lens mount greatly reduce the likelihood of dust and moisture incursion.

  • Aspherical and ED Glass Lens

    This compact lens includes 3 aspherical and 3 ED glass elements that ensure corner-to-corner resolution and well controlled chromatic aberration throughout the image area achieving natural color without color bleeding.

  • Customizable Focus Hold Button

    Provided for easy access and convenient control in just about any shooting situation. Other functions can be assigned to the focus hold button from compatible camera’s menu.

  • Instant Auto/Manual Focus Selection

    Instantly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you choose.

  • Compatible with 55 mm Threaded Filters

    Despite being an ultra-wide-angle prime lens, the E 11 F1.8 accepts standard 55 mm threaded front mounted filters – rare in a lens of this focal length.

    ALC-SH169 petal-shaped, bayonet mount lens hood supplied.

    Sony 11mm F1.8: The APS-C Wide-Angle King

    This lens is a beast for APS-C shooters! Super sharp, ultra-wide, and the f/1.8 aperture makes it perfect for low light and creamy bokeh. Autofocus is fast and silent, build quality feels solid, and it’s insanely good for vlogging, landscapes, and night shots. A must-have prime for Sony APS-C.

    Petite, Portable, & Powerful!

    Amazing lens for vlogging or talking head if you are a solo creator. Opens really wide for low light scenes and having the fstop at 1.8 creates a really nice separation of the subject from the background. Also, its a small lens so less to carry around.

    Sony E Mount 11mm

    I bought this lens for my Sony ZVE10 because I love taking my camera everywhere to record my kids, and it's incredible for my work. The videos and photos with this lens look spectacular. I love it. It's one of my favorite lenses for creating content for social media.

    Sony 11mm f1.8

    This product is great for getting those wide shot angles you can’t usually get with the sonys typical kit lens. The constant f1.8 is also amazing giving you the blurry background for up close shots such as vlogging. This camera overall for shooting videography is a great second choice.
