Sony FE 16mm F1.8 G ultra-wide prime lens for landscapes and architecture

Sony has introduced the FE 16mm F1.8 G (SEL16F18G), a premium ultra-wide prime lens designed for full-frame E-mount cameras. Combining a large F1.8 aperture, stunning bokeh, and impressive close-up capabilities, this compact and lightweight lens is ideal for photographers and videographers looking to capture dynamic wide-angle perspectives. Whether shooting landscapes, architecture, or starry skies, the FE 16mm F1.8 G delivers exceptional performance and creative flexibility.

Key Features of the FE 16mm F1.8 G

  1. Ultra-Wide Angle with Outstanding Resolution
    The FE 16mm F1.8 G features two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements and one Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element, ensuring high-resolution images with minimal chromatic aberration. An optimized coating reduces flare and ghosting, making it perfect for challenging lighting conditions.
  2. Stunning Bokeh and Close-Up Performance
    With an 11-blade circular aperture, this lens produces smooth, natural bokeh. Its close-up capabilities are equally impressive, offering a minimum focus distance of 0.15 m (0.5 ft) and a maximum magnification of 0.25x in AF mode, allowing for unique wide-angle perspectives with exquisite background blur.
  3. Compact and Lightweight Design
    Despite its large aperture, the FE 16mm F1.8 G is remarkably compact, measuring just 73.8 x 75 mm (3 x 3 inches) and weighing 304 g (10.8 oz). Its portability makes it an excellent choice for on-the-go creators.
  4. Fast, Precise Autofocus
    Equipped with two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors, the lens delivers fast, accurate autofocus and tracking. Its advanced control algorithm ensures quiet, low-vibration operation, perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects.
  5. Optimized for Videography
    The lens minimizes focus breathing and supports breathing compensation on compatible Alpha cameras. Its compatibility with 67 mm front filters and in-body Active Mode image stabilization makes it a versatile tool for stable, high-quality video footage.
  6. Durable and User-Friendly
    The FE 16mm F1.8 G features a dust- and moisture-resistant design, along with a fluorine-coated front element for added durability. It also includes an aperture ring, focus hold button, and focus mode switch for seamless control.
