Ultra-Wide Angle. The Rokinon 18mm provides a 100.1° angle of view on full-frame Sony E-mount cameras and a 76.2° angle of view on crop-frame Sony E-mount cameras.

Advanced Optics. A new eight-group/nine-element optical formula incorporates three aspherical elements, two high refractive and two extra-low dispersion elements to help control distortions and aberrations, all while retaining sharpness and clarity at any aperture or focus distance. The Ultra Multi-Coating controls ghosting and flare for a contrasty, color-neutral image.

Autofocus. The built-in linear STM autofocus motor works with Sony cameras’ focusing systems to provide fast, accurate AF control, while the manual-focus override lets you make precise adjustments.

Creative Uses. You can take advantage of this ultra-wide angle lens’s extreme angle of view to capture unorthodox images. This type of lens is commonly used for landscape and architectural photography, but It’s able to shoot some rather interesting portraits as well. Its 9.84-inch minimum focusing distance makes it simple to exaggerate perspective.
