Sony E 11mm F1.8 APS-C Ultra-Wide-Angle Prime Lens, Sony E-Mount, Compact Design Overview
Description
The Sony E 11 mm f/1.8 (SEL11F18) is an ultra-wide APS-C E-mount prime that delivers a 16.5 mm full-frame equivalent field of view, a large f/1.8 maximum aperture for low-light shooting and expressive background separation, and a compact 181 g form factor ideal for travel, vlogging and run-and-gun shooting.
Who it's for: Designed for Sony APS-C shooters — vloggers, travel photographers, interior/architecture shooters and hybrid stills/video creators — the SEL11F18 pairs wide perspective with fast autofocus and edge-to-edge performance to deliver dramatic ultra-wide compositions in compact kits.
Solution
The SEL11F18 solves the need for a truly ultra-wide, fast prime for APS-C shooters who want dramatic perspective, usable shallow depth of field and reliable AF in a tiny package.
