Sony 11mm F1.8: The APS-C Wide-Angle King
chrispagaming Posted 8 months ago
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!
DakotaJ Posted 7 months ago
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.

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
GabeC Posted 1 year ago
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.

Nice lens very lightweight. You’ll have really wide angle with this lens. Photo Quality is not as amazing as g master but is still very good quality, 1.8 aperture makes easy to low light conditions

I am happy i got it
ShaynaW Posted 6 months ago
I love this lens. It surly gives a great wide view and it's very easy for vlogging. The only thing i would say is you need lights if your going to be far away. If your too far away the camera would up the video image dark and kind of look like a grainy quality. If you'll be far away have good lighting. It is much bigger in size compared to the tanard kit lens. i had the sony zve 10 first edition and now I have the second one; sony zve 10 II.

11mm PRIME LENS
L33lee01 Posted 2 years ago
This lens is great. Being that the zve10 has a crop with the active steady shot on, this lens gives you the best width to use active steady shot with a great view of your background. Not too much it’s just enough ! I am very satisfied and happy with my purchase.

Excellent lens
IcemanTX Posted 3 years ago
Excellent lens for the a6600. Recently used it on a cruise and the perspective you can get is dramatic over an 18mm zoom lens. The photos are crisp, colorful and this lens is a keeper. One of my favorite lenses I have owned.

Idk
Indy Posted 1 year ago
Im very disappointed. I gave this item 3 stars off the strength of the lens. It works perfectly fine but its missing extra parts such as the lens hood that’s supposed to come with it. This item was listed under open box “EXCELLENT” but this isnt so excellent and i get open box items all the time that are excellent certified and NO issues. Im actually still using all of them and its been at least 4/5 years. The three empty stars are for the reason being it was sent without a box, no protection. This is how i received it. I love bestbuy but y’all gotta do much better. Idk whether to send it back or swallow this one pill because i really needed this lens like yesterday.
