About this item

  • INCREDIBLY SHARP: State-of-the-art optics, using three aspherical elements, deliver high resolution and suppress colour fringing in all parts of the image. Delivering high corner-to-corner resolution and beautiful bokeh, this is an excellent compact, lightweight, full frame lens for cityscapes, landscapes and videography, these features making it an ideal portrait lens too.
  • BEAUTIFULLY SMOOTH BACKGROUNDS: A 7-blade circular aperture on this Sony lens creates beautiful circular background bokeh defocus effects with a large F2.5 aperture.
  • FAST AND PRECISE: Two linear motors deliver fast, precise AF with excellent tracking capability, fully utilising the continuing rapid advances in the speed performance of camera bodies. Taking maximum advantage of this performance, tracking is maintained despite instantaneous changes in subject motion, making the lens ideal for situations like snap shooting of moving subjects. You'll never miss a shot with this lightweight and compact lens.
  • SUPERB BUILD QUALITY: The high-quality build uses metal (aluminium) for the exterior finish and hood, achieving a sophisticated look, contributing to increased strength and durability. The iris ring indices, focal length markings, and Sony logo on the hood of the 40mm lens, are engraved rather than printed, giving a finish with a sophisticated feel.
  • GREAT FOR MOVIE SHOOTING: The fast, precise AF with excellent tracking performance delivered by two linear motors is also quiet, making this FE lens ideal for both still and movie shooting. A great 40mm wide view (or when mounted on an APS-C body or shooting in Super 35mm movie format, the angle of view is 36mm equivalent), intuitive operability, in a compact, lightweight design.

    Love this lens. I have this for my A7C.I have 28mm f2 which is also compact but this one is a little more so and the focal length of this is great because I found myself using Super 35 mode with my 28mm lens which equates to 42mm focal length.The build quality is great, very premium and when on the camera, feels likes it’s part of the camera.I reviewed extensively on what focal length I should I go for in terms of casual, street photography and kept coming to this 40mm and when I saw this compact version, although it’s only f2.5, I had to go for it because it’s a Sony lens, so no compromises in terms of quality or functionality features!!It has aperture ring, focus ring, and a customisable function button. I didn’t know how much I would appreciate and make use of the rings!! Aperture ring is great to use compared to using built in ring that’s on the camera, as on my A7C, I have a thumb grip attached and it makes it a little difficult to access the ring but with this lens it’s great! Pricey but I believe this is a great lens to have on my camera (actually, the only one when I go out in London or travel wherever else). I own this 40mm, the 28mm (which I stopped using as much sadly) and then the 35-150 tamron (which is intended for more professional photoshoots - and oh is it great, seriously check it out).

No pesa, rinde espectacular, es serie G, pero en calidad de imagen, dificil que se eche a faltar algo, enfoca sin ruido y super rápido, y la calidad, mirar la foto, es un JPG directo de cámara. No hay mucho mas a comentar. Totalmente recomendado. Excelente esta serie compacta de objetivos SONY.
