Sharp and True Imaging

The lens features nine elements in eight groups and offers an aperture range of f/2-f/22. It provides a focal length of 28mm, with the 29cm of minimum focus distance. The lens allows you to experiment with both ultra-wide and fisheye converters, which will convert the focal length to 21mm and 16mm, respectively.

The lens comes with two extra-low dispersion glass elements to help improve chromatic tonality and reduce colour fringing for clarity and colour neutrality. With the ultra-wide-angle and compact size, the lens is easy to carry along and works wonderfully in different shooting situations.

Fast Autofocus

The combination of 28mm field view and a wide f/2 aperture works wonderfully for this lens, allowing you to experiment with the lens and its uses. In this mode, the lens functions at its best with faster shutter speed, allowing you to create a shallow depth of field. Although the lens is not optically stabilised, it has Sony’s renowned In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) technology. This improves the composure of the camera, drastically cutting down the effects of camera shake.
