Sony launches the large aperture ultra-wide FE 16mm F1.8 G expressive prime lens

Outstanding 16 mm Full-Frame E-Mount lens brings high-resolution, gorgeous bokeh and impressive close-up capabilities ideal for photographers and videographers.

Sony announces the FE 16mm F1.8 G (SEL16F18G), a premium G Lens™ that combines the expressive power of a high-resolution ultra-wide angle with high portability thanks to its compact, lightweight design, allowing creators to express their creativity in an extensive range of still and video shooting scenes. When paired with the latest Sony Alpha™ series cameras this lens is great for scenery, architecture, starry skies and more, whilst also offering outstanding close-up capabilities alongside precise and quiet AF (autofocus).

Outstanding resolution at ultra-wide 16 mm angles of view

The FE 16mm F1.8 G is an ideal lens for creating dynamic and spectacular wide-angle perspectives. The optical design includes two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements for stunning image resolution at all apertures. One Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three ED elements suppress chromatic aberration right out to the image periphery, whilst an optimised coating minimises flare and ghosting.

Supreme G Lens bokeh and outstanding close-up performance

This new G Lens delivers stunning bokeh with its large F1.8 maximum aperture, 11-blade circular aperture. Close-up performance is excellent with a minimum focus distance of 0.15 m/0.5 ft and maximum magnification of 0.25x when using AF (0.13 m/0.43 ft, 0.30x for MF). All of this makes it possible to capture unique wide-angle perspectives with deep, exquisite bokeh.

Large-aperture ultra-wide performance in a compact lens

The use of aspherical lens elements in the FE 16mm F1.8 G, including Sony’s high-precision AA (Advanced Aspherical) lens, has made it possible to create a full-frame ultra-wide lens that is a compact 73.8 x 75 ​ mm (3 x 3 inch) and weighs just 304 g (10.8 oz). It is small, lightweight, and mobile whilst delivering spectacular imaging performance for a wide range of subjects including landscapes, architecture, starry skies, and more.

Fast, precise autofocus supports high-level imaging

Two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors ensure fast, precise AF and tracking. A control algorithm developed specifically for the XD linear motors achieves enhanced response that largely negates delay and vibration that are likely to occur when driving a large-diameter focus lens group, for exceptionally quiet, low-vibration operation. All of this makes it possible for the FE 16mm F1.8 G to capture important moments when shooting active, fast-moving subjects.

Refined, stable performance for video

The FE 16mm F1.8 G’s advanced lens technology reduces focus breathing for smooth video footage. The breathing compensation function[i] provided in compatible Alpha bodies is also supported, and in-body Active Mode[ii] image stabilisation can make it easy to capture stable wide-angle video whilst walking. What’s more, the new lens accepts standard 67 mm front filter and is easy to balance on a gimbal.

Comprehensive control and solid reliability

A focus ring, focus hold button, focus mode switch, aperture ring, and iris lock switch are provided and alternative functions can be assigned to the focus hold button. The aperture ring provides hands-on control, while a click ON/OFF switch adds versatility, and a Focus mode switch allows instant autofocus/manual switching. Lastly, a dust and moisture resistant design[iii] and fluorine front-element coating maximises reliability and durability.

Pricing and Availability

The FE 16mm F1.8 G will be available in April 2025 for approximately 12 500 SEK at a variety of Sony’s authorised dealers.
