The Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G is an ultra-compact, lightweight standard prime lens for E-mount cameras. It covers full-frame sensors and also works on APS-C cameras. It is made for both stills and video.
The optics use three aspherical elements for sharpness across the image and an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to reduce chromatic aberration. The maximum aperture is F2.5, and a 7-blade circular aperture shapes the background blur. Two linear motors drive autofocus for fast, precise tracking.
Controls include an AF/MF switch and a manual aperture ring with a selectable click on/off setting for stills or movies. A programmable focus-hold button can be set to several custom functions. Manual focus has a linear response. The lens is dust and moisture resistant.
