Product Description
A dynamic ultra-wide-angle focal length with an especially bright design, the FE 14mm f/1.8 GM from Sony is a fast, versatile lens well-suited to landscape, nature, architecture, and street photography. Its extremely wide-but-usable perspective is complemented by the f/1.8 maximum aperture for excellent performance in low-light conditions and increased control over depth of field. The optical design incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements and one super ED element to reduce chromatic aberrations, plus two XA (extreme aspherical) elements that significantly control spherical aberrations for a high degree of image sharpness and clarity. Nano AR II coating has been applied to limit ghosting and lens flare for increased contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
- Two XD Linear Focus Actuators provide quick and quiet focus and also lend more responsive control for manual focus operation. A minimum focus of just 9.8" and an ultra-wide field of view opens a new world of deep perspective close-up photography.
- The lens has a dust- and moisture-sealed design and fluorine-coated front lens element to support shooting in inclement conditions and a dedicated focus hold button, AF/MF switch, and manual aperture ring lend further control while shooting.
- As part of Sony's premium G Master series, this lens is designed to achieve notably high resolution and sharpness through the correction of a wide variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations. Additionally, these lenses feature robust and intuitive-to-handle physical designs to benefit both photography and cine applications.
- Versatile ultra-wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras; however, it can also be used on APS-C models where it provides a 27mm equivalent focal length.
- Notably fast f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field.
- One aspheric element and two XA elements are incorporated into the optical design, which features superior surface precision for effective control over astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other spherical aberrations.
- Two ED and one Super ED extra-low dispersion elements are incorporated in the lens design and help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.
- All-optical surfaces feature Nano AR II Coating to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions.
- Dual XD linear Autofocus actuators and an internal focus mechanism provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and contribute to more natural, intuitive manual focus control.
- A focus hold button is present on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid access to select programmable settings.
- The 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.
- Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.
- Fluorine-coated front element resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints and is easy to clean.
- The rounded diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.

New views from a 14 mm F1.8 masterpiece
This large-aperture ultra-wide-angle prime lens offers G Master quality in an innovative design that is incredibly compact. Industry leading technology achieves breathtaking resolution plus exquisite bokeh even at maximum F1.8 aperture. Fast, precise AF plus extraordinary mobility and control give your creative imagination the freedom it deserves.Eye-opening resolution even at F1.8
Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements in a G Master design achieve outstanding corner-to-corner resolution even at maximum F1.8 aperture. One Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two ED glass elements thoroughly suppress colour bleeding, while advanced overall optical design minimises sagittal flare for ideal rendering of point sources.Bright, ultra-wide, and incredibly compact
Precise aspherical elements including two ultra-precise XA elements in an innovative G Master optical design work with two of Sony's state-of-the-art XD Linear Motors to achieve extraordinary performance in a remarkably compact lens that weighs just 16 ounces. Take this lens everywhere and reshape the world with creative new perspectives.Learn more about lenses.Clear, bleed-free colour
Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that are effective in correcting for chromatic aberration are combined with a Super ED glass element that provides even stronger chromatic compensation for excellent contrast and precise rendering throughout the image area.Learn more about Super ED.Beautifully rendered night skies
Advanced optics with a high-curvature XA (extreme aspherical) front element minimise sagittal flare when shooting starry skies and other night scenes. The large F1.8 maximum aperture allows low-light shooting without having to use extremely slow shutter speeds, while compact dimensions let you shoot anywhere with ease.Exquisite ultra-wide bokeh
With a 9-blade circular aperture mechanism and optimal application of two XA elements, this unique ultra-wide lens lets you emphasise subjects with dynamic close-up perspectives while creating beautiful bokeh in deep, expansive backgrounds.Learn more about Circular Aperture.Dynamic close-ups with beautiful bokeh
Two XA elements and one aspherical element in a carefully designed optical system offer a minimum focus distance of just 0.82 ft, so you can move right in to shoot dynamic close-ups while taking advantage of the F1.8 maximum aperture to create extraordinarily beautiful background bokeh.Nano AR Coating II maximises clarity
The sun often ends up in difficult positions when shooting outdoors with an ultra-wide lens, sometimes causing unwanted flare and ghosting. Sony's original Nano AR Coating II technology produces a uniform anti-reflection coating on lens surfaces, effectively subduing flare and ghosting in tricky lighting conditions.Learn more about Nano AR II.Precise, quiet AF for stills and movies
Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors rapidly and precisely position this lens's large, heavy focus groups for fast, accurate, quiet AF performance that maximizes the speed potential of E-mount bodies. Quiet, low-vibration AF is a huge advantage when shooting movies, while compact mobility and fast response provide unrestrained creative freedom.Learn more about the XD Linear Motor.Intuitive manual focus control
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, similar to the response of a mechanical focus system. Control is immediate and precise, so your creative intent is manifest without delay.Learn more about the Linear Response MF.Customizable focus hold button
A variety of functions can be assigned to the lens's focus hold button from the camera body interface to suit individual shooting preferences. You could assign the Focus Magnifier function, for example, allowing fingertip control of focus magnification for pinpoint manual focus.Learn more about the Focus Hold Button.Aperture ring with click-stop switch
An aperture ring that allows intuitive aperture control is provided, with click stops that can be switched on or off as needed. Turn the click stops on for tactile feedback that lets you "feel" the stops, or off when smooth, continuous, silent aperture control supported by the lens's XD Linear Motors is required. Learn more about the I/A click.Outstanding reliability for any application
In addition to a fluorine coating on the front element that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, the rear element is also fluorine-coated to keep that surface clean when changing the rear filter. A dust and moisture resistant design maximizes reliability when using this large-aperture ultra-wide-angle lens in challenging outdoor conditions.Learn more about Dust and Moisture-Resistant Design.Lens Specifications | |
