Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G

Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G Review

The Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G is a moderately wide prime that nets great photos without cutting corners in construction, placing it among our favorite small lenses for the Sony system. Sony is paying attention to a neglected focal length with its slim FE 40mm F2.5 G ($599.99). It's an especially small prime, built for travel and packing light, with an angle of view that's just a bit narrower than a 35mm lens. An aluminum barrel, weather protection, and tactile controls add to its appeal, as do optics that are sharp and focus close. It faces strong competition from the similar Sigma 45mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary, available for about $50 less, but it's hard to argue with the results that either delivers. Like the Sigma lens, we're giving the FE 40mm F2.5 G an Editors' Choice award, and recommend it especially to photographers who have never warmed to a 35mm prime.Compact G Concept The FE 40mm is one of three new lenses from Sony, all with the same basic outward appearance. It sits in between the FE 24mm F2.8 G and FE 50mm F2.5 G in focal length, but all are housed in metal barrels, with (barely) enough room for hands-on controls. Overall fit and finish is excellen...

Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G Lens for Sony - Brand New review

Let me repeat my words from the summary of the FE 40 mm f/2.5 G model – Sony would have increased the interest in the G series trio, presented in March 2021, if only their focal lengths had differed a bit more.

Ideal wark about lense

I was in the market for a small prime lense as I have a z55 and sony 35F25 I neded something with moor flexibility and portability. The FE40 features moor than fit the bill, its amazingly fast at focus Ideal for street photography and assigning APS-C to focus hold button for that extra rech makes it perfect for my use.

Weather Resistant & well made with close focusing.

I used the 40 mm f2.5 & my 55 mm f1.8 Zeiss blends well together and light enough for any occasion.

Love the size and look

This is a premium product with nice controls such as the aperture ring and programmable button. It is very sharp and better than the f/2.5 would indicate. Also love the weight. It is now my default lens.
