With an 11 mm focal length for dynamic images and a large F1.8 aperture for deep bokeh, this 6.5 oz. APS-C format lens has the mobility you need to capture stunning still and movies anywhere.
A large F1.8 max. aperture delivers expressive, naturally rendered bokeh in deep, impressive images. 0.4 ft minimum focus and 0.2x magnification let you get close to the subject while producing beautifully defocused backgrounds
Innovative optics deliver high resolution right out to the image edges. Optimal placement of three aspherical elements ideally correct field curvature for excellent resolution throughout the image area.
This compact, lightweight lens is a perfect match for E-mount APS-C as well as Super35 cameras, providing easy handling that is great for long handheld or grip-mounted shooting sessions.
Two linear motors give this large-aperture lens impressively fast, precise autofocus and tracking performance for both stills and movies.
An 11 mm field of view and large F1.8 aperture make it easy to shoot subjects against sweeping background with beautiful bokeh.
State-of-the-art lens technology packed into this remarkable large-aperture ultra-wide lens reduces unwanted focus breathing and angle of view shifts when focusing.
Thanks to a refined internal focus mechanism, the lens’s length remains constant while focusing for ideal balance and handling.
For professional manual focusing feel and repeatable response, Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle manual control.
Dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. Silicon seals around buttons and switches and a rubber gasket around the lens mount greatly reduce the likelihood of dust and moisture incursion
This compact lens includes 3 aspherical and 3 ED glass elements that ensure corner-to-corner resolution and well controlled chromatic aberration throughout the image area achieving natural color without color bleeding
A customizable focus hold button is provided for easy access and convenient control in just about any shooting situation. Other functions can be assigned to the focus hold button from compatible camera’s menu.
Instantly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you choose.
Despite being an ultra-wide-angle prime lens, the E 11 F1.8 accepts standard 55 mm threaded front mounted filters – rare in a lens of this focal length.
