Overview

With a 16 mm angle of view and F1.8 aperture, the FE 16 mm F1.8 G can capture wide-angle imagery with gorgeous background bokeh. This expressive prime G Lens™ is great for scenery, architecture, starry skies and more. It also offers outstanding close-up capability and precise, quiet AF. The FE 16 mm F1.8 G accepts standard 67 mm filters, is compact and lightweight, and is easy to balance on a gimbal.

Key Features:

Outstanding resolution at an ultra-wide 16mm angle of view:
Two AA (Advanced Aspherical) lens minimise field curvature and astigmatism for stunning image-wide resolution at all apertures. One Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three ED elements suppress chromatic aberration right out to the image periphery, while an optimised coating minimises flare and ghosting. This is an ideal lens for creating dynamic, spectacularly resolved wide-angle perspectives.

Gorgeous G Lens bokeh with excellent close-up performance
This G Lens delivers stunning bokeh with its large F1.8 maximum aperture, 11-blade circular iris, and carefully controlled spherical aberration. Close-up performance is excellent with a minimum focus distance of 0.15 m/0.5 ft and maximum magnification of 0.25x when using AF (0.13 m/0.43 ft, 0.30x for MF). All of this makes it possible to capture unique wide-angle perspectives with deep, exquisite bokeh.

Large-aperture ultra-wide performance in a compact design
The use of aspherical lens elements, including Sony's high-precision AA (Advanced Aspherical) lens, has made it possible to create a full-frame ultra-wide lens that is a compact 73.8 x 75 mm (3 x 3 inch) and weighs just 304 g (10.8 oz). It is small, lightweight, and mobile while delivering spectacular imaging performance for a wide range of subjects including landscapes, architecture, night scenes and more.

Fast, precise autofocus for high-level imaging
Two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors ensure fast, precise AF and tracking. A control algorithm developed specifically for the XD linear motors achieves enhanced response that largely negates delay and vibration that can occur when driving a large focus group, for exceptionally quiet, low-vibration operation. All of this makes it possible to capture important moments when shooting active, fast-moving subjects.
