With a maximum aperture of f/1.8, the lens excels in low-light environments, allowing for brighter images and better control over depth of field.
What is the minimum focus distance of this lens?
The lens has a minimum focus distance of just 25cm, allowing for impressive close-up photography.
Is the lens suitable for video recording?
Yes, the lens features fast and quiet autofocus, making it suitable for video recording, especially with its smooth focus transitions.
How does the lens handle chromatic aberrations?
The design incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements and one super ED element to effectively reduce chromatic aberrations, ensuring high image clarity.
What kind of coatings are applied to the lens?
The lens features a Nano AR II coating to minimise ghosting and lens flare, as well as a fluorine coating on the front element to repel dust and moisture.
Is the lens durable for outdoor use?
Yes, the lens is dust and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for shooting in challenging weather conditions.
The Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens is a fast, versatile lens well-suited to landscape, nature, architectural, and astrophotography applications. Its extremely wide-but-usable perspective is complemented by the f/1.8 maximum aperture for excellent performance in low-light conditions and increased control over depth of field.
The optical design incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements and one super ED element to reduce chromatic aberrations, plus two XA (extreme aspherical) elements that significantly control spherical aberrations for a high degree of image sharpness and clarity. A Nano AR II coating has been applied to limit ghosting and lens flare for increased contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
An XD Linear Motor system uses two separate motors to provide quick and quiet focus, and also lends more responsive control for manual focus operation. A minimum focus of just 25cm and an ultra-wide field of view opens a new world of deep perspective close-up photography. Also, the lens features a dust- and moisture-sealed design and fluorine-coated outer elements to support shooting in inclement conditions.

A Remarkably Compact Ultra-wide Angle Lens
Every component of the 14mm f/1.8 G Master is designed to ensure maximum results in a remarkably compact and lightweight lens. The three aspherical lenses, two compact XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear AF Motors, maximising the benefits of the short mirrorless flange back distance, all contributed to achieving the ultrawide large-aperture performance with no compromises. This increased mobility makes the 14mm ideal for outdoor shooting and movie shooting using a gimbal. With an incredible minimum focus distance of 0.25m, combining this with the unique ultra-wide 14mm angle offers expanded possibilities for close-up stills or movie shooting.
- Two XA (Extreme Aspherical) and one aspherical lens delivers supreme optical performance, with corner sharpness not seen in other ultra-wide angle lenses.
- Excellent contrast and precise rendering is achieved by utilizing a Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements.
- Two ED glass elements which effectively suppress chromatic aberration.
- Unparalleled performance with minimal coma, astigmatism, and sagittal flare.
Two XD Linear Autofocus Motors | Fast, precise, and quiet autofocus for stills and movies
Two XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors are optimized specifically for the 14mm f/1.8 G Master to provide the thrust efficiency required to precisely position the lens’s large focus groups, while maintaining near-silent operational noise.
The lens’s advanced mechanical system enables smooth and quiet focus transitions with minimal vibrations, especially crucial when filming video content. Additionally, the 14mm GM also supports Linear Response Manual Focus which delivers incredible precision when performing repeatable movements in Manual Focus.
G Master Construction
Maintaining the G Master standard of lens design and reliability, the 14mm f/1.8 G Master is constructed from a combination of metal and engineering plastic for high durability and low weight. At 460 grams and measuring under 10 centimeters, the lens is built to travel easily and balance perfectly onto a gimbal unit. Additionally, the 14mm f/1.8 has fluorine coating on the front element which helps to prevent fingerprints, dust, water, oil, and other contaminants, and built with a dust and moisture resistant design for extra protection and reliable operation.
