Superb Lens with a super wide 110° angle of view and almost no distortion that captures images sharp right to the image periphery. Employs an optical design that optimizes the angle of incident light reaching the sensor to prevent color shifts around the periphery of images captured with Sony digital cameras.

The lightweight 298 gram lens uses 11 elements in 9 groups with a close focus distance of 30 cm.

For Sony E-mount

The lens has electronic contacts to ensure that lens usage data is included in the Exif data of captured images. Furthermore, the built-in distance encoder enables support for 5-axis image stabilization on the body side. Other features include being able to magnify the finder display by operating the focus ring.

Distortion thoroughly eliminated

This lens pursues optical performance that ensures straight lines are captured as straight lines without relying on digital image processing. Features lens elements with aspherical surfaces that completely eliminate distortion.

Optimized optical design

Provides an imaging circle that covers the 35 mm full frame format and utilizes an optical design optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. High resolution is maintained up to the image periphery and color shifts are well controlled.

Manual focus for reliable focusing

Employs a very precisely machined and adjusted all metal helicoid unit lubricated with high quality grease to realize smooth focusing operation with just the right amount of torque. This enables very precise focusing.

Minimum focus distance of 0.3 meters

The minimum image capturing distance from the subject to the imaging surface is 30cm. This lens expands the possibilities for imaging utilizing the strong perspective characteristic of extreme-wide angle lenses.

Aperture click-stop switching mechanism

The lens employs an aperture click-stop switching mechanism that enables the aperture mechanism to be steplessly stopped down/opened up with no click-stop sound. This ensures that the sound of the aperture ring being operated is not recorded while capturing video.
