Sony 40mm 2.5 G FE Lens

High-speed Autofocus  

Sony have incorporated two linear motors to drive a high-speed, accurate autofocus and excellent tracking performance that utilises compatible camera body performance – beneficial for shooting portraits, street snaps, and decisive moments. Switch instantly and smoothly between auto and manual focusing modes using the focus mode switch. Enjoy an instantaneous response when focusing manually as the focus ring features Linear Response MF, enabling the focus to respond linearly to focus ring rotation. 

Efficient Control 

To ensure efficient control during shooting, Sony have incorporated intuitive controls including an aperture-ring click switch that can be switched ON/OFF – ON for feedback when shooting stills, and OFF to suppress clicks when shooting movies allowing for smooth aperture adjustments. The customisable focus hold button can be assigned a variety of functions for user preference, including Eye AF function.  

Sharpness Across the Frame… 

The Sony G Lens design is made up of nine groups and nine elements, including three aspherical lenses. The aspherical elements are strategically arranged to minimise various optical aberrations to ensure images achieve high resolution across the frame – even at the widest aperture and a shallow depth of field. 

Shooting Capabilities 

With a minimum focus distance of 0.28m (AF), the user can enjoy capturing subjects up close with excellent detail and performance. The maximum F2.5 seven-blade circular aperture not only provides great control over spherical aberrations but allows the creation of beautifully natural bokeh.  

The Sony 40mm lens accepts the attachment of circular polarising filters for landscapes, ND filters for movies, and more. Thanks to the internal focus, the front lens element does not rotate which gives the photographer extra control.  

Lightweight and Durable  

The Sony 40mm lens has an excellent build quality, featuring an aluminium metal finish on the lens body and hood that contributes to the overall strength and durability of the lens. The design of this lens is also dust and moisture resistant, allowing the user to work confidently in challenging outdoor environments. The diameter of the threaded hood allows for the same cap and filter to be attached to the hood and the lens barrel for convenience. The lens is extremely lightweight, weighing just 173g, making it the perfect walkabout lens that is prepared to face a variety of changing conditions.
