Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 G Full-Frame Fisheye Zoom Lens - SEL814G

Sony SEL814G FE 8-14mm F3.5 G Full-Frame Fisheye Zoom Lens

The Sony SEL814G FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G full-frame E-mount fisheye zoom lens moves from a full-frame circular fisheye at 8 mm to a frame-filling diagonal fisheye at 14 mm¹, with a constant F3.5 maximum aperture and an ultra-wide 180 degrees angle of view. ED glass and aspherical elements support high resolution with minimal chromatic aberration, while a quiet linear-motor focus drive, suppressed focus breathing and 0.15 m minimum focus distance serve stills, movies and VR imaging.

For Sony E-mount creators, the compact lens balances easily for handheld work, one-handed shooting, gimbals and rigs, while dedicated focus, zoom and aperture controls keep adjustments close at hand.

Key Features

8-14mm Circular-to-Diagonal Fisheye Zoom

One lens can shift from a circular image surrounded by the frame to a diagonal perspective that fills it. Creators can tailor the amount of distortion to the environment, capturing expansive spaces or turning curved lines into a deliberate expressive element.

Constant F3.5 Aperture Across the Zoom Range

The maximum aperture remains F3.5 while reframing, supporting consistent exposure choices from the widest circular composition to the diagonal fisheye end. A 7-blade circular aperture also contributes smooth background bokeh when working close to a subject.

G Lens Resolution and Dramatic Close-Ups

ED glass, ED aspherical and aspherical elements are arranged to preserve fine detail across the image area while controlling color fringing. A 0.15 m minimum focus distance and 0.22x maximum magnification make it possible to push subjects toward the front element for exaggerated perspective while the background falls away smoothly.

Quiet Autofocus for Stills and Movies

The linear-motor drive responds quickly and operates quietly, helping keep focus transitions smooth without adding distracting lens noise or vibration to recorded audio. Focus breathing is effectively suppressed for steadier movie framing, while Linear Response MF provides direct, intuitive manual focusing when the shot calls for hands-on control.

Compact 314 g Handling and Direct Controls

At 314 g, this compact camera lens pairs comfortably with compact bodies and stays manageable for one-handed shooting or placement on a gimbal or rig. Separate focus, zoom and aperture rings join a focus hold button, focus mode switch, zoom lock switch and aperture click switch for efficient adjustments during still or video production.

Dual-Camera 3D VR Capture

The 63.1 mm lens diameter allows a pair of lenses to sit about 64 mm apart in a supported dual-camera configuration, approximating normal human interpupillary distance for natural spatial rendering and immersive depth.² The fisheye field of view further expands the sense of space in 3D and VR content.

Field-Ready Protection

Dust/moisture resistant construction supports work in demanding environments, while a fluorine coating helps protect the exposed front element.³ Together, these details make the lens better prepared for location shooting where changing conditions and frequent handling are part of the job.

Footnotes:

¹ Equisolid angle projection at the wide end and equidistant projection at the tele end of the zoom range.

² The approximately 64 mm paired-lens spacing applies when using a pair of VENICE Extension System Mini units. Refer to Sony's CBK-3621XS information.

³ Dust and moisture resistance is not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.
