This is a gem of a lens. It's really small, and really sharp. Autofocus is faultless. I bought it to downsize from the 16-35GM, as I realised I use that lens almost always at 16mm. I'm looking forward to using the 16 f1.8G for wide field astro photograpy as soon as the cloudy skies clear.

Another fantastic lens from the Sony G series. The best part is I dont have another free lens case laying around that I'm not using.

Got the lens today (late) and was surprised, nay shocked, to see to case included. For the price charged that is 'poor from' from Sony. What a rip off.

Another fantastic lens from the Sony G series. The best part is I dont have another free lens case laying around that I'm not using.
The FE 16mm F1.8 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 F1.8 G accepts standard 67 mm filters, is compact and lightweight, and is easy to balance on a gimbal.
Thanks to its G Lens™ optical design, every corner of the frame stays pin-sharp, with minimal distortion. With 16mm focal length, you can get the perfect dramatic shots you need to stand out.

Two Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements work their magic to reduce field curvature and astigmatism, ensuring that even the edges of your frame stay crisp and clear.

Shooting at F1.8 on the Sony FE 16mm F1.8 G means you can create creamy, cinematic bokeh while retaining the sharp image that you want to capture.

Take stunning close-up shots with the Sony FE 16mm F1.8 G's 0.15m minimum focus distance in AF and 0.13m for MF.

The two Extreme Dynamic linear motors in the Sony FE 16mm F1.8 G provide quick, precise, and silent autofocus, making this lens a dream for both photographers and videographers.

Sony has minimized focus breathing, ensuring smooth and natural focus transitions for professional-quality video. This is a filmmaker’s secret weapon for stable, immersive shots.

The Sony FE 16mm F1.8 G weighs 304g (10.8 oz.), making the lens the perfect travel buddy for your next road trip or vacation.

A dust and moisture-resistant design means you don’t have to baby this lens. Take it out in unpredictable weather and keep shooting with confidence.

The possibilities are endless — the Sony FE 16mm F1.8 G lets you attach a 67mm front filter, allowing you to seamlessly elevate your shots with the effect that you need.

The lens features both a click ON/OFF switch (for smooth, silent aperture adjustments during video recording) and an iris lock switch to prevent accidental changes.
