Sony FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G Lens (Sony E)

Overview

The Sony FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G Lens is an ultra-wide fisheye zoom built for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, delivering a full 180° angle of view across its 8 to 14mm range for stills, video and VR imaging. Used on a full-frame body, it transitions from a circular fisheye at 8mm to a diagonal fisheye at 14mm, letting photographers and filmmakers choose the ideal composition for each frame. A constant f/3.5 maximum aperture, 15cm minimum focus distance and 0.22x maximum magnification also open up dramatic close-up imagery across the entire zoom range.

Two linear motors provide fast, precise autofocus with minimal focus breathing for smooth movie footage, while independent focus, zoom and aperture rings offer intuitive manual control on set. Compact and lightweight at just 314g, the lens is built for mobility without giving up professional functionality, including dedicated AF/MF/FH, zoom lock and aperture click switches. A dust- and moisture-resistant construction with a fluorine-coated front element supports demanding field work, while its compact diameter suits natural 3D and VR capture using dual-camera rigs.

Circular-to-Diagonal Fisheye Range

The 8 to 14mm zoom transitions from a full-frame circular fisheye at 8mm to a diagonal fisheye at 14mm, with a full 180° angle of view throughout, capturing dynamic, distinctively distorted images of interiors, landscapes and tight spaces alike.

Constant-Aperture Close-Up Performance

A constant f/3.5 maximum aperture holds consistent exposure across the entire zoom range, while a 15cm minimum focus distance and 0.22x maximum magnification enable dramatic close-up perspectives no ordinary fisheye can match.

Dual Linear Motor Autofocus

Two linear motors deliver fast, accurate autofocus and tracking for both stills and video, backed by Linear Response MF for predictable, repeatable manual focus pulls, and a 7-blade circular aperture for smooth, natural rendering.

Independent Manual Controls

• Independent focus, zoom and aperture rings for direct manual control over key settings.
• AF/MF/FH switch with a dedicated Focus Hold setting for astrophotography and VR shooting.
• Aperture click switch toggling between 1/3-stop clicks for stills and seamless adjustment for video.
• Zoom lock switch to secure the lens position during transport.

Rear Filter Holder for Custom Filters

A rear filter holder accepts sheet filters and ships with a cutting template for custom sizing, letting photographers fit creative or protective filters despite the lens's bulbous, non-threaded front element.

Weather-Sealed, VR-Ready Build

A dust- and moisture-resistant construction with a fluorine-coated front element stands up to demanding field conditions, while the lens's compact 63.1 x 82.8mm diameter and 314g weight suit both handheld shooting and dual-camera 3D/VR rigs.

• Internal zoom design maintains balance as the focal length changes.
• 16-element, 13-group optical design with three aspherical, four ED and one ED aspherical element.
