The Sony FE 14mm F1.8 GM is an ultra-wide prime for full-frame E-mount cameras that pairs a 14mm field of view with an F1.8 maximum aperture, which no rival 14mm autofocus lens matches. It uses two XA elements, one Super ED and two ED elements to keep corners sharp wide open, and two XD linear motors for fast, quiet autofocus. It suits astrophotographers, landscape and architecture shooters, and gimbal or drone video work. Against the Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art it is far smaller and lighter and adds weather sealing, though it costs more and has no filter thread.

Reviewers rate it as the best fast ultra-wide for E-mount, praising corner sharpness at F1.8 and its small size. Owners note the lack of a filter thread and rely on in-camera correction for distortion and vignetting.
The Sony FE 14mm F1.8 GM is a full-frame ultra-wide-angle prime lens for E-mount cameras. It belongs to Sony's G Master series and has a maximum aperture of F1.8. The lens is compact and weighs just 16 ounces, so it suits Sony mirrorless cameras, handheld gimbal shoots and the Sony Airpeak drone.
The optical design uses two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, one Super ED glass element and two ED glass elements. Together they deliver corner-to-corner resolution up to F1.8 and reduce color bleeding. Nano AR Coating II minimizes flare and ghosting.
Two XD Linear Motors drive the autofocus, which is fast, precise and quiet. It supports both stills and video. A focus hold button supports professional shooting.
