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.

Not much to say about this lens. You know it's amazing. Landscape and real estate photography are my main uses for this. I haven't done astro with it yet but from what I understand it's perfect for that. Sharp as a tack. Focuses fast. Silent. One of my favorite lenses.

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

Sharp and clean lens

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!! There are many online reviews about this lens, and all I can say is: the hype is real. We have not seen anything like it up to this point (Sigma 14mm f1.8 is a traditional DSLR design and is big and bulky). It can also produce pretty good sunstars, which is important for a lens this wide. Two really really minor issues: first, it is so sharp that in certain cases it gives the "overly sharpened in photoshop" look. This is more obvious if there are leaves and grass in the photo. Second, the micro-contrast is not as good as the Zeiss in my opinion.

This lens literally rests on my camera as I film weddings all day. The quality of Sony's G-Master lenses are always remarkable, but this one is my favorite. Its amazing in low light, focuses very quickly on multiple camera systems, and always delivers top notch colors and bokeh. I considered buyign a sigma 14mm and the tamron 17-28mm, but when a friend of mine let me borrow his for a few hours, I fell in love with this 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.
