Product Description
New views from a 14 mm F1.8 masterpiece
This large-aperture ultra-wide-angle prime lens offers G Master quality in
an innovative design that is incredibly compact. Advanced technology achieves
breathtaking resolution plus exquisite bokeh even at maximum F1.8 aperture. Add
fast, precise AF and extraordinary mobility, and you have a lens that can
capture fresh views of everyday scenes.
Spectacular image-wide resolution all the way to F1.8
Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements in a design that meets stringent G
Master standards achieve outstanding corner-to-corner resolution all the way up
to the lens's maximum F1.8 aperture. One Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two
ED glass elements thoroughly suppress color bleeding for outstanding image-wide
sharpness and clarity, while Sony's Nano AR Coating II effectively minimizes
flare and ghosting.
Large-aperture ultra-wide perspectives in an incredibly compact lens
Precision aspherical elements including two ultra-precise XA elements in an
innovative G Master optical design work with two of Sony's state-of-the-art XD
Linear Motors to realize extraordinary overall performance in a remarkably
compact lens that weighs just 16 ounces. This is one ultra-wide large-aperture
lens you carry around anywhere, reshaping the world with creative new
perspectives.
Resolution and compact convenience for impressive night skies
Adding to the versatility provided by its large aperture and ultra-wide
angle of view, advanced optics with a high-curvature XA front element minimize
sagittal flare when shooting starry skies and other night scenes. The large F1.8
maximum aperture allows low-light shooting without having to use extremely slow
shutter speeds, while compact dimensions let you shoot anywhere with ease.
Exquisitely smooth bokeh in ultra-wide views
With precise XA elements, a nine-blade circular aperture mechanism, and
optimally managed aberration, this unique ultra-wide lens is capable of creating
exquisite background bokeh without unwanted onion-ring artifacts. Minimum focus
distance is just 0.82 ft, so you can move right in to combine dynamic close-ups
with beautiful bokeh in expansive backgrounds.
Fast, precise, quiet AF supports stills and movies
Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors provide the thrust efficiency
required to accurately position the lens's focus groups, achieving fast,
precise, quiet AF performance that maximizes the speed potential of E-mount
bodies. Quiet, low-vibration AF is an unprecedented advantage for shooting
movies with ultra-wide angles, while mobility and fast response give creators
the freedom to work effectively with any subject
Outstanding reliability for any application
In addition to a fluorine coating on the front element that repels water,
oil, and other contaminants, the rear element is also fluorine-coated to keep
that surface clean when changing the rear filter. A dust and moisture resistant
design maximizes reliability when using this large-aperture ultra-wide-angle
lens in challenging outdoor conditions.
