Advanced Optical Construction

The Sony FE 14mm f1.8 G Master lens consists of multiple lens elements to ensure crisp, sharp, and colour-accurate imagery. This includes two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-Low dispersion) elements, one Super ED, and one aspherical element. This may sound complex, however, the inclusion of these intricate optical elements ensures outstanding resolution every time you release the shutter button. You are guaranteed corner-to-corner high-resolution and a stunning bokeh quality via the circular 9-blade aperture. This makes the 14mm f1.8 ideal for landscapes, starscapes, portraits, and even videography. The wide angle of view is also great for experimenting with close-up perspectives and dynamic framing.

Rapid Action Response

This G Master lens incorporates two XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors for fast-action autofocusing. When compared to more conventional lenses, the 14mm f1.8 provides superior accuracy, speed, and a much quieter focusing system. By doing so, you will never miss a shot with this large aperture wide-angle lens. When shooting video, rapid AF can be a real lifesaver; capturing precise detailings and adding serious production value to your content.

Nano AR Coating II

To fight the frustrations of shooting in strong sunlight and intense backlighting, Sony have added a Nano AR Coating II to the lens element surface. This has the desired effect of minimising internal reflections to ensure that flare and ghosting are no more. As this FE lens is such a powerful multi-functional prime lens, the addition of Nano AR is a real game-changer in light-sensitive shooting scenarios. These include shooting landscapes at dawn/dusk, portraiture under natural light, studio shooting, and various forms of astrophotography.

Pro-level Ergonomics

As with all Sony G Master lenses, you are presented with a stylish, tactile, and well-balanced lens barrel construction. The Sony FE 14mm f1.8 is also dust and moisture resistant, which lends itself to tricky shooting scenarios both indoors and outdoors. When securing this lens to a compatible camera system, you will notice the easily accessible controls and textured focusing ring. By combining this with its 460g weight, it is clear to see how the 14mm f1.8 has been tailor-made for all day, everyday shooting.
