During CP+ 2025, Sony unveiled a new wide angle prime lens – and the new optic is both shorter and more affordable than the brand’s next closest lens. The Sony 16mm f/1.8 G is an ultra-wide compact prime lens made for the full-frame E-Mount and the widest lens in the G series before switching to the pricier G Master optics.
Announced on February 26 alongside the Sony 400-800mm, the new Sony 16mm f/1.8 G is designed for high-resolution imaging without compromising a compact design or entering the higher price point of the high-end G Master series. Instead, the Sony 16mm f/1.8 G measures just three inches / 75mm long and will cost $799.99 / £850 / AU$1,899.
