The Sony FE 8 to 14mm F3.5 Fisheye G (SEL814G) is a full-frame E-mount zoom lens with two fisheye looks in one lens. At 8 mm it produces a 180-degree circular fisheye image surrounded by the frame. At 14 mm it produces a 180-degree diagonal fisheye view that fills the image area.
The optics use ED glass and aspherical elements to help minimize chromatic and other aberrations. The F3.5 maximum aperture stays constant from 8 mm to 14 mm. The lens focuses as close as 0.15 m and reaches 0.22x maximum magnification at the telephoto end. The front element has a fluorine coating, and the construction is dust- and moisture-resistant.
Autofocus is fast and precise, and Linear Response manual focus is available for deliberate adjustments. Focus breathing is minimal and operation is quiet for movie recording. The lens has a focus mode switch, a zoom lock switch, and an aperture ring with switchable click stops. The inner zoom mechanism limits changes in the center of gravity while zooming. Two lenses used with two VENICE Extension System Mini units can place the optical axes approximately 64 mm apart for 3D VR capture.
