Yongnuo YN 11mm
A bright f/1.8 aperture and built-in optical stabilization set this 11mm APS-C prime apart, refined by 5 low-dispersion elements and a quiet digital stepper motor for sharp, aberration-free images. The click-stopped aperture ring and 260g weight offer tactile control and easy portability, while the 69mm minimum focus distance enables striking near-macro wide-angle shots. Best for Sony E-mount landscape and astrophotography shooters seeking a compact, stabilized ultrawide prime that performs in low light.
