You wait ten years for one, and then three come along at once. It\u2019s just three months shy of a decade since Sony last released a wideangle lens for APS-C cameras, the E 10-18mm F4 OSS. Now it\u2019s released three more all at once. The Sony E 11mm F1.8<\/strong> is the relatively affordable option, at \u00a3500, while the premium Sony E 15mm F1.4 G<\/strong><\/a> prime and Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G<\/strong> powerzoom will both cost \u00a3750. All three lenses are due to go on sale this month.<\/p>\n\t\t

Sony sees the E 11mm F1.8 as being ideal for vloggers using the ZV-E10 camera<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Looking first at the Sony E 11mm F1.8, this compact, lightweight lens combines a 16.5mm equivalent angle of view with a relatively large f\/1.8 maximum aperture. It\u2019s primarily aimed at vloggers using the ZV-E10 camera, who wish to record themselves at arm\u2019s length and get some degree of background blur. But it could also be of interest to photographers seeking a small, lightweight wideangle. On this note, it measures 66mm in diameter and 57.5mm in length, while weighing just 181g. The lens accepts 55mm filters and focuses as close as 12cm.<\/p>\n\t\t

The Sony E 15mm F1.4 G should be a particularly good match to the Sony A6600<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Second is the Sony E 15mm F1.4 G, which is a more upmarket option that aims to be equally attractive for both stills and video. With a 22.5mm equivalent view, it should nicely complement a standard zoom, particularly in situations where the extra light gathering of the fast f\/1.4 aperture comes in handy. As a G-series lens, it promises premium optics and weather-sealed construction. It also gains useful external controls, including an AF-hold button and an aperture ring that can be switched between clicked and smooth operation. Physically, the 15mm f\/1.4 takes the same 55mm filters as its 11mm sibling but is a little larger, at 69.5mm long, 66.6mm diameter and 219g. Its minimum focus distance is just 12cm.<\/p>\n\"Sony<\/a>\n

Last but by no means least, the Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G is a compact powerzoom lens that\u2019s essentially an APS-C version of the recent full-frame FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G. It provides a 15-30mm equivalent range when used on a Sony APS-C camera. With an internal zoom and focus design, its length or balance never changes, making it ideal for video work using a gimbal. As a G-series lens, it also boasts weatherproof construction, an AF\/MF switch, and an AF-stop button. To operate the zoom, there\u2019s a choice between either a conventional zoom ring or a lever on the side.<\/p>\n\t\t

At just 178g and 55mm in length, the new zoom is noticeably shorter and lighter than the existing 10-18mm f\/4. However, while it could certainly be interesting to photographers using the Alpha 6500 and Alpha 6600 bodies, its lack of optical stabilisation makes it less appealing to owners of other A6000-series bodies. They may prefer the 10-18mm f\/4, which costs \u00a3120 less and is optically stabilised, but lacks any weathersealing.<\/p>\n
