Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has broader perspectives

Pairing an ultra wide-angle focal length with an especially bright design, the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens is a fast and dynamic lens well-suited to landscape, nature, architectural, and astrophotography applications. The Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens extremely wide perspective is complemented by an f/1.8 maximum aperture for excellent performance in low-light conditions and its impressively compact form factor makes it a portable and versatile option for everything from casual walkaround shooting to staged architectural shoots.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a fast design and refined optics

As a G Master lens, optical performance is prioritized and the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens emphasizes both sharpness and bokeh quality for versatility regardless of subject distance or aperture setting.

The Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, along with one standard aspherical element, promote high sharpness throughout the aperture range, even when working at the bright f/1.8 position.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has aspherical elements which feature superior surface precision for effective control over astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion and other spherical aberrations for highly accurate rendering and low distortion.

The combination of several aspherical elements on the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens, along with sophisticated focusing motors, promotes a truly compact and lightweight design, especially for such an ultra-wide focal length.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has one Super ED element and two extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the lens design and help to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has Nano AR Coating II applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions. This updated coating on the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens is better suited for larger, curved elements and is especially adept at minimizing internal reflections.

The Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens excels in Low-Light Conditions

Rare for an ultra-wide, the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has f/1.8 maximum aperture which is a useful asset for working in low-light conditions, such as for astrophotography applications and when making timelapses where shorter shutter speeds are required.

The optical design of the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has been optimized for shooting wide open; the integrated high-curvature XA elements minimize sagittal flare for cleaner, more accurate nighttime sky and point light source rendering.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a fast and precise focusing
 
An XD Linear Motor system uses two separate motors to provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus and tracking performance. This design also contributes to more natural, intuitive Linear Response manual focus control and an AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for quick focus mode switching.

Internal focusing design of the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens offers more responsive focusing performance and maintains a consistent overall lens length during operation.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a minimum focusing distance of 9.8" suits making dynamic close-up images.

Despite its ultra-wide field of view, the close minimum focusing distance and bright maximum aperture of the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens enable creating shallow depth of field imagery characterized by a strong close-up subject and a soft background.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has reliable construction

Beyond outstanding optics, G Master lenses are also known for durable and reliable physical constructions, including extensive weather sealing and intuitive designs for easy operability. Also, specific to this 14mm f/1.8, the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens features a uniquely compact and lightweight design, measuring 3.3 x 3.9" and weighing just one pound.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications. The ring also incorporates a locking "A" position for use in automated exposure modes.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a focus hold button which is present on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid access to select programmable settings.
Integrated petal-shaped lens hood helps to block stray light from causing lens flare and also affords some physical protection to the front element.
 
The Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a filter holder incorporated at the rear of the lens, within the lens mount, and accepts cut gel filters and a filter cutting template is included. Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a dust- and moisture-sealed design which better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.

Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens has a fluorine-coated front and rear elements which resist dust, moisture, and fingerprints and are easy to clean.
