FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G
Lens (Sony E)
Boasting a full 180° angle of view across its 8 to 14mm zoom range, the FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G Lens from Sony delivers a bold, expressive fisheye perspective for still photography, video, and VR imaging. Used with full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, this versatile zoom shifts from a circular fisheye effect at 8mm to a diagonal fisheye view at 14mm, giving photographers and filmmakers the flexibility to choose the ideal composition for every shot. A constant f/3.5 maximum aperture, 5.9" minimum focusing distance, and 0.22x maximum magnification further support dramatic close-up imagery throughout the zoom range.
Compact and lightweight at just 11.1 oz, the lens is built for mobility while maintaining professional-level functionality. Two linear motors deliver fast, precise autofocus with reduced focus breathing for smooth movie capture, while separate focus, zoom, and aperture rings provide intuitive manual operation. Dedicated AF/MF/FH, zoom lock, and aperture click switches add practical control, and the dust- and moisture-resistant construction, fluorine-coated front element, and rear filter holder make the lens well suited for demanding work in the field. Its compact diameter also supports more natural 3D and VR capture in dual-camera setups.
