Sony FE 14mm f / 1.8 GM lens

A dynamic ultra-wide-angle focal length with an especially bright design, Sony's FE 14mm f / 1.8 GM is a fast and versatile lens suitable for landscape, nature, architecture and astrophotography applications. Its extremely wide but usable perspective is complemented by the f / 1.8 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance and greater 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. A Nano AR II coating has been applied to limit ghosting and lens flare to increase contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.
An XD linear motor system uses two separate motors to provide fast and quiet focus, and it also provides more sensitive control for manual focus operation. A minimum focus of just 9.8 "and an ultra-wide field of view open up a new world of deep perspective close-up photography. Additionally, the lens features a dust- and moisture-sealed design and fluorine-coated exterior elements. to facilitate taking pictures in inclement conditions.
As part of Sony's premium G Master series, this lens is designed to achieve remarkably high resolution and sharpness by correcting a wide variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations. In addition, these lenses feature robust and intuitive to handle physical designs to benefit both photography and film applications.
The versatile ultra wide-angle main is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras; however, it can also be used in APS-C models where it provides a 21mm equivalent focal length.
The remarkably fast f / 1.8 maximum aperture benefits when working in difficult lighting conditions and also provides greater control over depth of field.
Two XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements and one standard aspherical element are incorporated into the optical design, featuring superior surface precision for effective control of astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion, and other spherical aberrations for a high degree of sharpness. and precision. representation.
A Super ED element and two Extra Low Dispersion elements are included in the lens design and help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing to improve clarity and color neutrality.
Nano AR Coating II has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare and ghosting to increase contrast and color reproduction in bright lighting conditions. This updated coating is more suitable for larger curved elements and is especially adept at minimizing internal reflections.
An XD linear motor system uses two separate motors, along with an internal focusing design, to provide fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus and tracking performance. This design also contributes to a more natural and intuitive linear response manual focus control, and an AF / MF switch is located on the lens barrel for quick focus mode switching.
The 9.8 "minimum focusing distance is suitable for creating dynamic close-up images.
A focus hold button is present on the lens barrel for intuitive touch control and quick access to select programmable settings.
The physical aperture ring can be clicked off for smooth and quiet aperture change for the benefit of video applications. The ring also incorporates an "A" lock position for use in automated exposure modes.
The sealed design against dust and moisture allows for better work in inclement conditions and the rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.
The fluorine-coated front and rear elements resist dust, moisture and fingerprints and are easy to clean.
The filter holder is built into the back of the lens, within the lens mount, and accepts cut gel filters and a filter cutter template is included.
The integrated petal-shaped lens hood helps block stray light from causing lens flare and also provides some physical protection to the front element.
