What it frames

24 mm128 mm
Highlighted: this lens on the a6400, beside the E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS kit lens, from the same spot. A zoom's dashed frame is its longest view.

From 3 m back it takes in a scene about 0.8 × 0.6 m on the a6400, one person or a detail rather than a group.

At its closest (80 cm from the sensor) a subject about 20 cm wide fills the frame of the a6400.
