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

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.

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 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.

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.

I picked up the Sony 11mm f/1.8 specifically for real estate work, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my kit. The ultra-wide field of view captures entire rooms in a single shot without excessive distortion, which is perfect for interiors where space is tight. Straight lines stay relatively clean, and with a little correction in post, the results look very professional.
The f/1.8 aperture is a huge plus — I can shoot in lower light houses or apartments without always dragging out extra lighting. Images are sharp across most of the frame, and the colors pair well with my Sony body. Autofocus is fast and silent, which also makes it a good choice for video walkthroughs.
If I had one critique, it’s that ultra-wide lenses can exaggerate small spaces if you’re not careful, but that’s more about technique than the lens itself. Overall, this is a reliable, sharp, and lightweight prime that makes real estate photography much easier and more polished.

The quality of the lense is BEAUTIFUL. Wayyyy better than the kit lens on my zve-10. It’s not too much heavier than the kit lens. You BARELY feel the different in weight. But there is a slight difference. The low light quality is amazing. I don’t know much about camera settings so a this lens definitely made up for my slack with making the image BEAUTIFUL. & I love how wide the lens is. It’s not all in your face showing every pore & gives a good image with all the background that’s included.
