SONY ANNOUNCES NEW FE 14MM F1.8 G MASTER

Sony’s widest prime yet is set to be a star turn for astrophotography and more

Sony has launched yet another fast full-frame prime lens, the FE 14mm F1.8 GM. The new optic is one of the company’s premium ‘G Master’ lenses, incorporating XA high-precision lens manufacture technology in order to deliver the best possible image quality.

The only Sony lenses wider than this are the FE 12-24mm F2/8 G Master and older, non-G Master FE 12-24mm F4 zooms. This is the widest Sony prime lens yet, although it’s not the only 14mm f/1.8 lens on the market, as Sigma fans will point out, but the Sony lens is designed to be smaller and lighter, and to offer unrivalled performance.
