The Sony 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G Lens bestows upon Alpha photographers an authentic native fisheye zoom for the inaugural time on E-Mount. It presents a genuine circular fisheye projection at 8mm, extending to a frame-filling diagonal fisheye at 14mm, thus demonstrating remarkable versatility within its speciality. The lens employs a generous amount of ED glass elements, ensuring the 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G delivers superior resolution across the frame and throughout the entire zoom range. Moreover, the lens incorporates a highly uncommon aspherical ED element, further enhancing resolution and reducing flare.

Rapid Autofocus for Video or Stills

Employing a dual linear focus motor, the 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G is capable of keeping up with even the fastest Alpha bodies, enabling capture with autofocus at up to 120 frames per second on the A9 III. Focus travel is optimised for video as well, with smooth, steady focus tracking and an optical design that minimises breathing effects from focus changes, allowing them to be effectively eliminated with breathing correction in-camera.

Get Up Close and Personal

A close focus distance of 15cm and a maximum magnification of 0.22x allow the full use of this lens for creative effect, filling the frame with even small subjects.

Portable and Reliable

At 314g and only 63mm by 83mm, this compact fisheye is easy to include in even a compact and lightweight kit. Designed for use in adverse conditions, the lens is fully dust and weather sealed, with a fluorine coating on the front element that rejects unwanted dust and grime. The supplied lens hood also gives excellent flare resistance at 14mm, although users will need to remove it at shorter focal lengths or risk it appearing in their shots.
