From circular to diagonal fisheye in one superb lens

Sony's first E-mount fisheye zoom lens offers new ways to see the world, capturing entire spaces and using distortion as an expressive tool. It covers everything from full-frame circular to diagonal fisheye in one lens, providing comprehensive support for stills, movies, and VR imaging. It is also compact and lightweight enough for everyday shooting as well as professional use.

Versatile fisheye expression

An ultra-wide 180° angle of view captures dynamic spaces, and an 8-14 mm zoom range goes from full-frame circular fisheye at 8 mm to frame-filling diagonal fisheye at 14 mm. The ability to choose the ideal fisheye angle of view for individual environments and creative needs opens up an extraordinary range of expressive possibilities.

Clear and sharp with minimal chromatic aberration

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and aspherical elements in a new optical design result in a compact, lightweight lens that delivers performance worthy of the G LensTM brand. High resolution and minimal chromatic aberration are achieved throughout the image area. 0.15 m (0.5 ft) minimum focus with 0.22x maximum magnification enables truly dynamic close-up perspectives with smooth background bokeh for stills or movies.

Fast, accurate AF and intuitive MF

Innovative lens technology ensures that focus breathing is effectively suppressed for smooth, professional looking movies. The linear-motor focus drive system and circular aperture unit are quiet too, so movie audio won't be spoiled by lens noise or vibration. Linear Response MF supports direct, intuitive manual focus control when needed.

Outstanding mobility, operability, and reliability

Compact, lightweight design makes this unique lens a great match for compact bodies, providing ideal balance and handling. Effortlessly shoot one-handed or mount it on a gimbal or rig. Focus, zoom, and iris rings allow intuitive control, while zoom lock and focus mode switches ensure consistent operation. A dust/moisture resistant design and fluorine-coated front element maximise reliability in harsh conditions.

Natural spatial rendering for 3D VR content production

The 63.1 mm (2-1/2 in.) diameter of this compact lens makes it an ideal choice for shooting natural-looking 3D and VR content using a dual-camera setup. The left and right lenses can be set up at a distance of about 64 mm, matching the normal human interpupillary distance for natural spatial reproduction and impressive depth. Fisheye width enhances the immersive effect.
