I've been using the Sony E 11mm F1.8 APS-C ultra-wide-angle prime lens for about a month now, and let me tell you, I absolutely love it! As a real estate photographer with a crop sensor camera, this lens has been a game-changer for me. It has not only enhanced the quality of my images but also helped me earn a significant amount of money. In my opinion, it's definitely worth the investment.
One of the standout features of this lens is its 11mm focal length, which provides an incredibly wide perspective. When photographing real estate properties, this ultra-wide-angle view allows me to capture the entire room and showcase its spaciousness. It's perfect for showing potential buyers the layout and scale of the property, creating an immersive experience.
Another aspect that sets this lens apart is its large maximum aperture of F1.8. This feature has been a lifesaver, especially when shooting interiors with less-than-ideal lighting conditions. The wide aperture allows more light to enter the lens, resulting in brighter and clearer images. Additionally, it creates a beautiful background blur, isolating the subject and giving my photos a professional and artistic look.
The optical quality of the Sony E 11mm F1.8 lens is outstanding. It's designed to minimize distortion and aberrations, ensuring that every corner of the room is accurately represented in my photographs. The sharpness and clarity across the frame are truly impressive, bringing out the architectural details and unique features of each property. It helps me capture the essence of a space and present it in the best possible way to potential buyers.
I also appreciate the lens's compact and lightweight design. It's easy to carry and handle, even during long photoshoots. The lens feels sturdy and well-built, giving me confidence in its durability and reliability. I can focus on my work without worrying about the equipment.
Since I started using this lens, my real estate photography business has flourished. The quality of my images has improved significantly, attracting more clients and increasing my income. The Sony E 11mm F1.8 APS-C ultra-wide-angle prime lens has become an essential tool in my kit, and I can't imagine working without it.
To sum it up, if you're a real estate photographer with a crop sensor camera, I highly recommend the Sony E 11mm F1.8 lens. Its wide perspective, large aperture, optical quality, and solid construction make it an invaluable asset. It has truly transformed the way I capture real estate photos, helping me deliver stunning results and generate substantial income. Give it a try, and I'm confident you won't be disappointed!

I've been on an incredible photographic journey over the past six months, thanks to the Sony E 11mm F1.8 APS-C ultra-wide-angle prime lens in sleek black that I picked up from Best Buy. This lens has truly been a game-changer, adding a new dimension to my photography with its outstanding performance and versatility.
First off, the ultra-wide-angle perspective is nothing short of breathtaking. The 11mm focal length captures expansive landscapes and architectural wonders with remarkable clarity and detail. Whether I was shooting cityscapes or vast open spaces, this lens provided a unique visual experience, allowing me to fit more into each frame.
The wide aperture of F1.8 has been a standout feature, especially in low-light conditions. It's allowed me to capture stunning images with beautiful bokeh, making my subjects pop against dreamy, blurred backgrounds. The lens's low-light performance is commendable, ensuring I can confidently shoot in various lighting scenarios without sacrificing image quality.
Build quality is another area where the Sony E 11mm F1.8 shines. The lens feels solid and well-built, and its compact design makes it easy to carry around. The autofocus has been reliable, and manual focusing is smooth, giving me the flexibility I need for different shooting situations.
Having used it for half a year, I appreciate the durability and consistent performance of this lens. It has become my go-to choice for capturing wide-angle shots, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall quality of my images.
Purchasing from Best Buy was a seamless experience, and the lens has proven to be a worthwhile investment. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or an enthusiast looking to explore the world of ultra-wide-angle photography, the Sony E 11mm F1.8 is a lens that delivers on its promises. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality ultra-wide-angle prime lens for their Sony APS-C camera system.

Excellent APS-C Wide Angle Lens

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is an excellent wide angle lens for APS-C cameras. I purchased it for use with my Sony A6600 in order to capture some wide angle party and street shots. It works very well, with a little bit of struggling with auto-focus in low light-- but that's probably an issue with the camera, not the lens. Best Buy had the lens in stock at a price competitive with the usual on-line camera stores. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great compact lens. I bought it for my full frame camera knowing I’d lose some wide angle, but it is still a great option for me at this price point. The lens is not a durable as the more expensive, but I’m ok with that for the value.

I am truly in love with this lens. I shopped around for a long time and looked at tons of different options. For smaller creators on a mid sized budget I cant really reccomend anything I would prefer over this. Auto fucus Is lightning fast and silent. Focus toggle is awesome once you get used to it. Same goes for the Focus hold botton. Great picture quality and clearity. Colors are vibrant and details are popping.

I saw this lens in a YouTube video for must-have lenses and it was briefly mentioned because the lens hadn’t dropped at the time. Fast forward to now, I’ve been using this lens extensively and served me so well as a lens for close proximities and vlogging. I’m in New York and it is an incredible lens when dining in such tight spaces. I highly recommend it and the bokeh looks awesome on the ZV-E1.

If you are interested in WA lenses you have probably looked at this and the Viltrox 13mm. My advice is to get them both. If you cannot then I would lean towards this 11mm. While the 1.8 is 2/3 stops less than the Viltrox 1.4, you are saving a lot in weight. The Viltrox is even heavier than their 23mm lens (which is also insanely sharp).
The other advantage that this lens has is it is much faster to focus than the Viltrox. Regarding sharpness I would give a very slight edge to the Viltrox but that is only when comparing images at around 200%. Again, if I had to choose 1 lens I would go with this lens. It is perfect for travel and the images on a FF camera may even look better than APS-C. This lens is a real gem.
