Sony FE 14mm F1.8 GM Full-Frame Large-Aperture Wide Angle Prime G Master Lens

I’ve only had this lens a couple of days but I already love it. I handles beautifully. It’s crazy light for. I tried out the 12-24 GM and just couldn’t get excited about such a big heavy lens with a relatively limited zoom range, esp since I already own and love the 16-35 GM. This is a perfect compliment to the 16-35, for the wider perspective and the faster 1.8 aperture for astro shots. Excellent lens.

If you want that fish eye effect it tight spaces. This is it. Works great indoors and in tight spaces to capture more. I would of went for the g master 12-24 2.8 but it was pricier. If you want to use filters you have to place it behind the lens close to where the sensor meets the lens attachment. It requires taking out three screws.

Amazing lens for landscape and low light.

There was no indication in the used item description that the lens would be missing the lens cap.

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.

This lens is amazing! It is so light and compact. Its astoundingly sharp, and the colors looks so good! You can get some really great sunburst effects. At its widest opening, you get some amazingly sharpy photos. I have really come to love this lens for some street photography. You can fit so much of the bigger buildings in a photo. I need to take it out for some astrophotography next, will update this review after.

I started with the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 in 14 and there were stretched stars in the corners (pincushion distortion) due to keeping vertical things straight but things are wider at the sides causing the stretching. All Sony lenses from the 1635,1224 and the early aps-c 1018 (1527) @ 12mm in FF f/4s had no pincushion. Example look at a time lapse of the MW going across the sky and look at the sides where the stars are wider apart and travel faster than the center stars like being in a fishbowl with curved glass (yes we are in a fishbowl). Things get worse the faster the the glass with all the different coma. I have used the Sigma lens for two years and had to use at 2.2 or 2.8 because of coma and pincushion. You may not see it but use Capture One it has a pincushion correction even without a lens profile and watch the foreground change. small and light also, just WOW!

For a milky way photography enthusiast, this lens achieves the holy trinity of fast (f1.8), sharp, and light (460 grams or 1 pound). The last quality is important for me since I often go to remote places for my milky way photos (the attached shot was in Great Basin National Park at ~11000 ft. which took 4 miles of hiking to get to). My other wide angle lens is the Sony-Zeiss 16-35 F4, this F1.8 is noticeably lighter than that lens!!

Excellent Len. Favorite to use on my Sony
