This incredibly compact and lightweight ultra-wide-angle 11mm APS-C prime offers dynamic perspectives, corner-to-corner sharpness, naturally rendered bokeh and large F1.8 aperture. Fast, precise, quiet AF, optical design for refined movies shooting and rugged reliability make it ideal for still and video content creators alike.
Ultra-wide-angle 11 mm large F1.8 aperture prime for stills and movies
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 for deep, naturally rendered bokeh
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 throughout an ultra-wide field of 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 autofocus maximizes the camera’s speed potential
Two linear motors give this large-aperture lens impressively fast, precise autofocus and tracking performance for both stills and movies.
A versatile tool 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.
Consistent balance and center of gravity for easy handling
Thanks to a refined internal focus mechanism, the lens’s length remains constant while focusing for ideal balance and 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 elements suppress spherical and chromatic aberrations
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
Focus hold button can be customized for various functions
A customizable focus hold button is 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 on an ultra-wide-angle lens
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.

- A: AnswerYes it will work on the a7 IV. Photos and video would be taken with a 1.5x crop. If you have super 35 mode turned on, you won’t experience any vignetting. An 11mm apsc would roughly be a 16-17mm full frame equivalent. Your photos and videos would have nice wide shot for landscape, real estate photography, and great for vlogging too. Due to the compact size, would also be a great travel lens. I hope this helps.
