Sony E 11mm f/1.8 Lens
Ultra-Wide, Bright, and Compact Prime for APS-C Mirrorless
The Sony E 11mm f/1.8 is an exceptionally sleek, lightweight, and ultra-wide prime lens tailored for Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras. Providing a 16.5mm equivalent focal length combined with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, this lens is highly optimized for selfie-style vlogging, sweeping landscapes, architectural interiors, and travel photography. Its ultra-compact form factor makes it an ideal walkaround choice that balances perfectly on smaller camera bodies and gimbals. Engineered with a dual Linear Motor autofocus system and advanced focus breathing suppression, it delivers the quiet, reliable performance required by modern hybrid content creators.

Key Features & Engineering
Ultra-Wide Framing & Bright Aperture: Offers an expansive 16.5mm equivalent field of view that is perfect for immersive tracking shots and vlogging at arm’s length. The bright f/1.8 aperture excels in low-light environments and helps isolate subjects with a shallow depth of field.

Dual Linear Motor AF System: Employs two separate linear motors to deliver quick, silent, and precise autofocus performance. The internal focusing architecture maintains a fixed lens length for responsive handling and consistent balance.

Smooth Motion Optics (SMO): Specifically engineered to suppress focus breathing, keeping your composition stable and accurate during focus pulls. It is also fully compatible with the Breathing Compensation function in select Sony Alpha camera bodies.

Excellent Close-Up Control: Capable of focusing as close as 4.7″ in manual focus mode (with a 0.2x maximum magnification) or 5.9″ when using autofocus, allowing for dynamic close-up perspectives with dramatic wide backdrops.

Intuitive Tactile Layout: Features a physical AF/MF toggle switch for rapid focus mode transitions and a customizable focus hold button on the lens barrel for instant tactile access to preferred camera settings.

Weather-Resistant, Petite Build: Measures just 2.3″ long and weighs a mere 6.4 oz, providing maximum portability. The physical chassis is built with a dust- and moisture-resistant design to safeguard components during outdoor use in unpredictable weather.

Item Condition & Notes
Cosmetic & Mechanical Condition: Good condition. The lens body shows normal signs of light use, and all mechanical rings, switches, and electronic connections function perfectly.

Notes: There are very faint, minor scratches on the front element glass. These superficial marks are strictly cosmetic and do not impact image quality, contrast, or rendering performance.
