Sony Electronics releases the introduction of the FE 14mm F1.8 GM in addition to Sony E-Mount Lens Line-up – compact, large F1.8 aperture, ultra-wide-angle lens further expands its E-mount lens lineup. Users can now capture the world with new perspectives, especially when shooting landscapes, architecture, starry skies, and interiors.
“The newest member of Sony’s G Master series, the FE 14mm F1.8 GM, delivers extraordinary resolution, fast and quiet autofocus, and is remarkably compact. “ Ryo Ochi, General Manager, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific.
Extraordinary Resolution in a Compact and Lightweight Design
The new FE 14mm F1.8 GM features a compact optical design, measuring 83mm x 99.8mm and weighing just 460g (approx.). It delivers superb resolution and stunning contrast with its advanced optical technology that is now part of the Sony E-Mount Lens Line-up.
Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements maintain excellent resolution which enables its compact and lightweight design.
Therefore, users can faithfully render light point sources thanks to a maximum aperture of F1.8. This makes it possible to capture astrophotography or shoot in other low-light environments without having to use extremely slow shutter speeds.
The FE 14mm F1.8 GM can produce beautiful bokeh at F1.8, even with the ultra-wide 14mm focal length. Consequently, this offers expanded possibilities for close-up still and video shooting with a 0.25m minimum focus distance. Resulting to create stunning bokeh known to Sony’s G Master premium series of lenses.
Additionally, it has precise XA elements – a 9-blade circular aperture mechanism, and optimally managed aberration. It enables the FE 14mm F1.8 GM to produce exquisite background bokeh without the undesirable onion-ring effect.
Advanced and Quiet Autofocus
Also, focus can be accurately acquired and maintained using two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors to give professional shooters the reliability they need to get the job done in challenging conditions.
Professional Level Control and Reliability – Sony E-Mount Lens
The new lens also features several advanced and versatile control options including, a focus hold button, a focus mode switch, and a focus ring to ensure smooth, efficient operation in a wide range of shooting environments.
For instance, dust- and moisture-resistant design provides the reliability needed in harsh environments. A fluorine coating on the front lens element repels water, oil, and other pollutants. To keep the surface clean when adjusting the rear filter, the rear part is also fluorine-coated. A built-in petal hood effectively blocks extraneous light that can cause flare and ghosting on the lens.
