Sony has just released a new compact and lightweight ultra-wide angle prime lens: the FE 16mm F/1.8 G. Perfect for landscape, vlogging, or astra shooting, this lens covers full-frame image sensors and can accept circular 67mm front filters, which is not the case for the Sony FE 14mm F/1.8 GM.

On the lens, you’ll find a focus ring and aperture ring with an aperture lock and aperture click switches, which is very handy for filmmakers.
