Sony Middle East and Africa is redefining ultra-wide photography with the launch of the FE 16mm F1.8 G, a premium G Lens™ crafted for both photographers and videographers who demand high resolution, beautiful bokeh, and exceptional low-light performance. Designed for capturing breathtaking landscapes, architectural masterpieces, and mesmerizing night skies, this lightweight and compact lens is a powerhouse of innovation.

At the heart of the FE 16mm F1.8 G is its advanced optical design, featuring two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements that ensure stunning edge-to-edge clarity, while one Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three ED elements effectively suppress chromatic aberrations. Whether shooting stills or video, the lens delivers ultra-sharp details and true-to-life colors with minimal flare or ghosting.

Beyond its crisp resolution, this lens is designed to produce gorgeous bokeh, thanks to its large F1.8 aperture and 11-blade circular diaphragm. Its impressive close-up capabilities—a minimum focusing distance of 0.15m in AF and 0.13m in MF—allow creators to capture dramatic wide-angle perspectives with exquisite depth.

For content creators, the FE 16mm F1.8 G is a dream lens. Built with two XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear motors, it ensures fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus, making it perfect for tracking fast-moving subjects. Sony’s advanced breathing compensation technology further enhances video stability, while Active Mode image stabilization allows for smooth handheld footage—even on the move.

Weighing just 304g and measuring 73.8 x 75mm, this compact powerhouse offers professional-grade performance in a travel-friendly build. With its dust and moisture-resistant construction and fluorine-coated front element, the lens is built for reliability in any environment.

Set to launch in April 2025 across selected markets in the Middle East, the FE 16mm F1.8 G is a must-have for photographers and filmmakers looking to push creative boundaries.
