With a 16mm angle of view and f/1.8 aperture, the FE 16mm f/1.8 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 16mm f/1.8 G accepts standard 67mm filters, is compact and lightweight, and is easy to balance on a gimbal.

Outstanding resolution at ultra-wide 16mm angle of view

Two AA (Advanced Aspherical) lens minimize 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 optimized coating minimizes flare and ghosting. This is an ideal lens for creating dynamic, spectacularly resolved wide-angle perspectives.

Gorgeous G Lens bokeh and outstanding close-up performance

This G Lens delivers stunning bokeh with its large f/1.8 maximum aperture, 11-blade circular iris, and carefully controlled spherical aberration. Close-up performance is excellent with a minimum focus distance of 0.5ft (0.15m) and maximum magnification of 0.25x when using AF 0.43ft (0.13m), 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 lens

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 3 x 3 inch (73.8 x 75mm) and weighs just 304g (0.67lbs). It is small, lightweight and mobile while delivering spectacular imaging performance for a wide range of subjects including landscapes, architecture, night scenes and more.

Refined, stable performance for movies

Advanced lens technology reduces focus breathing so that changes in angle of view are minimized for smooth movie footage. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α bodies is also supported, and in-body Active Mode image stabilization can make it easy to capture stable wide-angle movie imagery while walking. The lens accepts standard 67mm filters, and is easy to balance on a gimbal.
