An excellent choice as a second lens to supplement a basic lens kit, this full-frame 28mm wide-angle prime features a bright F2.0 maximum aperture and outstanding overall optical performance. Advanced optics deliver excellent sharpness right out to the image edges plus beautifully smooth bokeh when needed. A maximum aperture of F2.0 makes it easier to shoot clear images handheld indoors or in dim lighting. An inner focus mechanism achieves stable, quiet autofocus operation that is ideal for movies as well as stills. For even wider perspectives an optional 21mm Ultra-wide Converter and 16mm Fisheye Converter with full 180° (diagonally) coverage1 are available for extra expressive potential.
A fixed focal length design with 3 aspherical elements including a AA (advanced aspherical) lens and 2 ED elements, plus multi-coating throughout, packs outstanding optical performance into a compact lens.
A 9-blade circular aperture works with this lens’s large aperture to produce smooth, beautiful background bokeh.
Weighing only 200 grams, this small full-frame lens is an ideal match for α7 series bodies and a convenient choice for snapshots and everyday use.
Optional, dedicated 21mm ultra-wide and 16mm fisheye converters can be added for even wider perspectives.
Impressive optical performance for Sony E-mount cameras, precision engineered for versatility and reliability in a wide range of applications.
