HELIAR-HYPER WIDE 10mm F5.6 Aspherical

Lens with widest* angle of view in the world designed especially for full frame Sony E-mount

Features

Hyper-wide angle lens exceptionally well corrected for distortion. Utilizes an optical design optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. With its 130° angle of view, this is the widest non-fisheye lens that captures straight lines as straight lines to realize new forms of photographic expression.

*For a 35 mm format lens excluding fisheye lenses, according to our research as of March 2016

Main Features

For Sony E-mount

The lens has electronic contacts to ensure that lens usage data is included in the Exif data of captured images. Furthermore, the built-in distance encoder enables support for 5-axis image stabilization on the body side. Other features include being able to magnify the finder display by operating the focus ring.

Distortion thoroughly eliminated

This lens pursues optical performance that ensures straight lines are captured as straight lines without relying on digital image processing. Features lens elements with aspherical surfaces that completely eliminate distortion.

Optimized optical design

Provides an imaging circle that covers the 35 mm full frame format and utilizes an optical design optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. High resolution is maintained up to the image periphery and color shifts are well controlled.

Manual focus for reliable focusing

Employs a very precisely machined and adjusted all metal helicoid unit lubricated with high quality grease to realize smooth focusing operation with just the right amount of torque. This enables very precise focusing.

Minimum focus distance of 0.3 meters

The minimum image capturing distance from the subject to the imaging surface is 30cm. This lens expands the possibilities for imaging utilizing the strong perspective characteristic of extreme-wide angle lenses.

Aperture click-stop switching mechanism

The lens employs an aperture click-stop switching mechanism that enables the aperture mechanism to be steplessly stopped down/opened up with no click-stop sound. This ensures that the sound of the aperture ring being operated is not recorded while capturing video.
