Unique Perspectives
Photographing in low ambient light is the great strength of this lens, making it ideal for working with selective focus as well as for indoor and outdoor photography without flash, even in weak lighting conditions.

It has also been designed to meet the specific needs of filmmakers and videographers.
Developed for the Best
To achieve the best possible optical performance of the lens, the light flow has been specifically optimized based on the relationship between the lens glass and the position of the sensors in Sony cameras. The high-quality 14mm f/2.8 lens is compactly designed despite its solid metal housing.
High-Quality Optics
The interior of this lens consists of 14 glass elements arranged in 10 groups. This allows for a close focusing distance of just 25 cm. Three aspherical lenses reduce chromatic aberrations and imaging errors, ensuring high imaging performance. This results in sharp images with crisp contrasts and natural colors. The construction is completed with a multi-layer coating that avoids reflections and ghosting.
Advantages of a Full-Frame Lens on an APS-C Sensor Camera
Save time in post-processing. Many lens errors such as distortion, edge softness, or vignetting occur at the outer areas of the image. When using a lens designed for full-frame on an APS-C sensor camera, these areas are not utilized. This way, you achieve maximum quality, eliminating the need for additional post-processing time to correct lens errors.
