FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Prime Lens

This lens is a great wide-angle lens, especially great for astrophotography. Image quality is impressive from center to edge, with beautiful detail and contrast in low-light conditions. The only downside is that the filter system isn’t my favorite. It can be awkward to use. Overall, it’s a high-quality lens that delivers stunning results, especially for night sky and landscape shots. One of my top 3 favorite lenses.

If you enjoy landscape, architectural, street, or astro photography... well, you have found your lens. This lens is "fun" and provides opportunity for some fantastic creativity. Obviously it is fast, has great AF, and smooth aperture racking (when you need it)... in a relatively small, lightweight package. The bulbous front element will make filtering inconvenient, requiring either lens mounted brackets or using plastic/film filters cut to shape behind the lens. Having said that, I don't often use an ND & CS filter when shooting with this lens... so this doesn't bother me. I was considering the 12-24 2.8 but the size & cost deterred me and I am happy with this prime for my situation. Sony has managed to knock another one out of the park with this lens.

Sharpest, widest lens in my Arsenal with a fast 1.8 is hard to find especially at this weight. Very light and this lens does a extremely good job minimizing distortions. It’s incredible. Im usually hesitant with lens that cost close to 2 grand but with this lens I did not disappoint or regret.

The performance of this lens is excellent! The wide angle is just enough to have the entire moon eclipse recorded. Edge part might be distorted but that can be fixed through photoshop (also, distortion for such a wide angle is very normal). I'm satisfied with the graph quality

I wanted to get a wider angle lens for my Sony A7 IV My standard lens goes out to 24 mm and I have an 18 mm but for indoor work I wanted something even wider. The difference between 14 mm and 18 mm is considerable and this is a better lens anyway. For real estate photography or any other interior work. This is really useful. The fast aperture means that the dimly lit interiors are still usable. The lack of distortion is much appreciated. I also use this for landscape panorama work.

Packaged very, very well, exactly what I ordered, fast over night shipping. But for the love of God almighty they ship these direct delivery only. So if you can't be home to sign for it or it's the wrong address you are so, so screwed because once your address is locked in you cannot change it. So make sure you can actually fully receive the package and it's rock solid after that. Was a nightmare getting it but quality is a plus though!

Absolutely love it for Astro!!

Sharp and clean lens

Lente maravilhosa, que estou usando muito tanto para fotos de paisagens quanto de eventos. Gostei muito do vendedor que fez uma entrega de qualidade, no prazo, respondeu minhas dúvidas e com um excelente preço.

Esta focal justifica 1/1 su relación valor-precio. Baja o casi nula distorsión sobre un sensor full-frame. Nitidez sobresaliente aún para los estándares de la línea GM de Sony, esta focal es extraordinaria. Ideal para fotografía de paisaje, arquitectura, astro-fotografía, interiorismo o para establishing shots en video.

حدة الصور خيالية لبعض المشاهد مثل المباني، الطرقات والتصوير الليلي تشوه أقل رغم التصميم فتحة عدسة واسعة أعطت نتائج جميلة للتصوير في منتصف الليل بشتر بطيء دون تمميز لتوقيت التصويرما إذا كان في الليل أو في ضوء النهار تصوير النجوم في المزرعة على بعد كيلو تحديدا من أضواء المدينة نتائجها كانت جيدة جدا رغم أنها لم تعطي التفاصيل الكاملة لمجرة درب التبانة بسبب ضروف التصوير إلا أني راضي جدا عن تلك النتائج عند استخدام فتحة عدسة ضيقة التفاصيل كانت أكثر حدة للمشاهد الثابته عدم القدرة على استخدام الفلاتر السابقة والسعر المرتفع للفلاتروملحقاتها بسبب قلة الشركات المصنعة لهذه النسخة من سوني حتى الآن بنظري النقطة السلبية الوحيدة. تستحق خمس نجوم

This lens is amazing. But of course, it's a G Master lens. It's minimum focus distance is quite close. I felt like I was too close to my subject, but it still focused. And at f/1.8 the bokeh from everything else in the distance is creamy smooth. This will be my wide field Astro lens for Milky Way shots and such. It'll make a great low light landscape lens. Highly recommend for any landscape photographer in low light scenarios, but also good for being able to focus really close and get that smooth background separation. (I know, not something you typically think of with a 14mm lens, but it does work.)

For an open wide F1.8 14mm you're not gonna find a better lens for Sony E mount. Worth every dollar. Buy it nice so you don't buy it twice.
