Ultra wide-angle prime lens FE 16mm F1.8 G
The outstanding E-mount 16mm full-frame lens offers high resolution, beautiful bokeh and impressive close-ups - ideal for both photographers and videographers

Sony today announces the FE 16mm F1.8 G (SEL16F18G), a high-quality G Lens that combines the expressive power of a high-resolution ultra wide-angle with a compact, lightweight design for effortless carrying. It allows users to express their creativity when shooting photos and videos in a wide variety of situations. Combined with the latest Sony Alpha series cameras, this Lens is ideal for capturing landscapes, buildings, starry skies and much more. The new model is also excellent for close-up shots and also scores with its precise and quiet autofocus (AF).

Excellent resolution with an extremely wide 16 mm angle of view
The FE 16mm F1.8 G is a perfect Lens for spectacular, dynamic wide-angle shots. Its optical design includes two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements that contribute to impressive resolution at all apertures. A Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three ED elements correct colour aberrations throughout the image, while the optimized coating minimizes flare and ghosting effects.

Impressive G Lens bokeh and outstanding close-up performance
With its 11-blade circular aperture and a maximum aperture of F1.8, the new G Lens enables breathtaking bokeh effects. The minimum autofocus distance of 0.15 meters with a maximum magnification of 0.25x (MF: 0.13 meters, 0.30x) enables excellent close-ups. All this helps to realize unique ultra-wide perspectives with deep, exquisite bokeh.

Ultra-wide angle with large aperture in a compact lens
Thanks to the use of aspherical elements, including high-precision AA elements from Sony, it has been possible to develop an ultra-wide-angle lens for full-frame format that measures a compact 73.8 x 75 mm and weighs only 304 grams. The FE 16mm F1.8 G is small, lightweight and portable, yet offers spectacular image quality for a wide range of subjects including landscapes, buildings, starry skies and much more.

Fast, precise autofocus for outstanding shots
Two XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear motors provide fast, precise autofocus with tracking. A control algorithm developed specifically for the XD linear motors improves responsiveness to minimize delays and vibrations that can easily occur when controlling large focus groups, ensuring an exceptionally quiet and low-vibration operation. All this means that the FE 16mm F1.8 G allows users to reliably capture important moments even when the subject is moving fast.

Excellent, stable performance when shooting video
The FE 16mm F1.8 G's advanced lens technology reduces focus breathing to ensure smooth video recording. The Focus Breathing Compensation1 of compatible Alpha cameras is also supported, as is the in-camera image stabilization with Active Mode2. The latter makes it easier to record smooth, stable wide-angle videos even when walking. In addition, the new lens is compatible with a standard 67 mm front filter and can be easily balanced on a gimbal.

Comprehensive control options and maximum reliability
The lens has a focus ring, focus hold button, focus adjustment switch, aperture ring and aperture lock switch. Other functions can also be assigned to the focus hold button. The aperture ring allows convenient control of the aperture opening, while an on/off click switch for the aperture steps increases versatility. The focus adjustment switch allows instant switching between autofocus and manual mode. The dust- and moisture-resistant design3 and fluorine coating on the front of the lens ensure maximum reliability and durability.
