Description

Boasting a full 180° angle of view across its 8 to 14mm zoom range, the  Lens FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G from Sony delivers an expressive fisheye perspective across stills, video, and VR imaging. When used with full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, this versatile zoom lens transitions from a circular fisheye at 8mm to a diagonal fisheye at 14mm, allowing photographers and filmmakers to select the ideal composition for each frame. Its constant f/3.5 maximum aperture, 5.9" minimum focus distance, and 0.22x maximum magnification also enable dramatic close-up imagery across the zoom range.

Two linear motors provide fast, precise autofocus with minimal focus breathing for smooth movie imagery, while independent focus, zoom, and aperture rings offer intuitive manual control. Compact and lightweight at just 11.1 oz, the lens is designed for mobility without sacrificing professional functionality, including dedicated AF/MF/FH, zoom lock, and aperture click switches. Its dust- and moisture-resistant construction, fluorine-coated front element, and rear filter holder further support demanding field work, while its compact diameter enables natural 3D and VR capture using dual-camera configurations.
