Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM
Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM
The Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM lens is an interesting choice for owners of Sony digital mirrorless cameras with the Sony E mount. It offers a fixed focal length of 14mm and f/1.8 aperture, with a maximum aperture of f/16. With such a low aperture, it is possible to achieve a shallow depth of field and create the popular bokeh effect, i.e. background blur. The lens uses a very quiet motor, which is especially appreciated by video makers – its operation is virtually inaudible. It also features autofocus, an aperture ring and dust and moisture resistance, so it won't shy away from the toughest conditions. It is designed for both Full Frame and APS-C sensors and has no filter thread. At 460 g, it offers top optical quality in a compact design.

Impressive full frame resolution up to F1.8 aperture
Two XA (Extra Aspherical) elements in a design that meets the stringent standards of the G Master series achieve excellent resolution across the entire surface up to f/1.8 lens aperture. One Super ED (extra-low dispersion) and two ED glass elements thoroughly suppress colour tone blending to ensure excellent sharpness and clarity throughout the image, while Sony's 2nd generation anti-reflective nano-layer effectively minimizes flare and multi-focus.
Ultra-wide-angle, high-luminosity perspectives in an incredibly compact lens
Precision aspherical elements, including two XA elements, in the innovative G Master Series optical design work together with Sony's two XD linear motors to deliver exceptional overall performance in a remarkably compact lens that weighs just 460 grams. You can take the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM ultra-wide-angle high aperture lens anywhere to transform the world with new creative perspectives.
Superbly smooth bokeh effect in ultra-wide-angle view
Thanks to the precise XA elements, 9-blade circular aperture mechanism and optimally controlled aberration, this ultra-wide-angle Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM lens can produce an exquisite bokeh effect on the background without inter-circle artifacts. The minimum focusing distance is just 0.25m, so you can immediately start combining a dynamic close-up perspective with background bokeh.
Fast and silent autofocus for both stills and movies
Two linear XD motors provide the thrust efficiency required to precisely position the focus groups of the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM lens and achieve fast and silent autofocusing that maximizes the speed potential of E mount bodies. Quiet, low-vibration autofocus is an advantage when shooting wide-angle videos, while mobility and fast response give creators the freedom to work with subjects.
Excellent reliability in any application
In addition to the fluorine coating on the front member to repel water, oil and other contaminants, the rear member is also fluorine coated to keep its surface clean when the rear filter is changed. Dust- and moisture-resistant construction maximises reliability when using the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM ultra-wide-angle lens in harsh outdoor conditions.

| Manufacturer information |
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio. In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
