    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount
    • Lens Type: Wide Angle zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)

    • Maximum Aperture: f/4 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

    The only choice in Sony wide angle zoom

    I recently switched from Nikon to Sony and having had the the Nikon 14-24mm, I wanted something comparable for my A7R for my landscape needs. This lens fills that need very well and has a more useable zoom range. It's a stop slower but not an issue with the sensitivity of the latest sensors being produced. Very sharp with minimal distortion.

    Amazing lens!

    I'm a professional real estate photographer and recently switched to Sony. This lens is perfect for what I shoot. It's attached to my a7II and the images are super sharp with well controlled flair and distortion. My clients have noticed a change for the better in all my work. I'm very pleased with the results I am getting with this great lens.
