Sony E SEL11F18 11mm

★★★★★ 4.8 (448)

Delivering an 11mm f/1.8 ultra-wide perspective in a weather-sealed, 184g body, this Sony E-mount prime excels with its linear AF motor and constant bright aperture. The compact build, 55mm filter thread, and optical design with three aspherical and three ED elements ensure sharp corner-to-corner performance with minimal aberrations. It’s best suited for street photographers and vloggers who require a wide, fast lens with silent autofocus for video.
