Ultra-wide prime for mirrorless cameras

The Sony SEL16F18G is a 16mm f/1.8 G lens built for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It weighs 304 g (10.8 oz.) and uses 67 mm filters, making it easy to balance on a gimbal. Two XD linear motors drive fast, precise, quiet autofocus for stills and video.

Suited to landscape, architecture

This lens suits photographers who need a bright ultra-wide prime for scenery, architecture or starry skies. Its minimum focus distance of 0.15 m (AF) and 0.13 m (MF) also supports expressive close-ups. Shooters who require zoom flexibility or a longer focal length should consider a different optic.

Bright f/1.8 aperture at 16 mm

The constant f/1.8 maximum aperture gathers ample light for low-light scenes and shallow depth of field at an ultra-wide angle. Two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements minimise field curvature and astigmatism for high corner-to-corner resolution. This aperture and focal-length combination defines the lens's creative envelope.

Keep the front and rear elements clean with a blower and microfibre cloth, check the 67 mm filter threads for debris, and ensure the focus and aperture rings move smoothly.
