The Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G lens is an E-mount prime lens with a wide normal 40mm focal length designed to deliver impressively high-resolution and sharp imagery with full-frame mirrorless cameras. On a APS-C model, this lens provides a 60mm equivalent focal length. Characterised by speed and ultra-compact form factor as well as a seven-blade diaphragm contributing to a pleasing boken quality when employing selective focus techniques, this light and handy lens is ideal for portraits, snaps around town, or movie shooting on a gimbal. A minimum focus distance of 28cm in autofocus mode/ 25 cm in manual mode enables impressive close-up shooting. Optically, a combination of one aspherical element and two extra-low dispersion element helps to suppress a range of aberrations, colour fringing and distortion. A double linear motors design complements the optics by delivering quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus with superb tracking performance.
An internal focusing design means the overall length of the lens is maintained constant to allow ease of movie shooting with a gimbal or grip. Physically, this lens body and its hood feature an aluminium exterior finish which contributes to increased strength and durability. Furthermore, the lens is dust and moisture resistant for added reliability when working in inclement conditions. The compact body of the lens also features a customisable focus hold button for added user friendliness, a focus mode switch for instant switching between AF and MF modes, an aperture-ring click stops switch to enable de-click when silence is required during shooting, and a rotation ring for making intuitive and delicate manual focus adjustments. This G lens comes supplied with front and rear lens caps, and a lens hood.
