14mm · f/1.8
The Sony FE 14mm F1.8 GM is an ultra-wide prime praised for its compact, lightweight build (460g) and excellent optical performance, especially for astrophotography. It delivers sharp images with fast, quiet autofocus and weather sealing. Weaknesses include a bulbous front element preventing standard filters, requiring a fiddly rear gel holder. It suits landscape, architecture, and night sky photographers seeking portability without sacrificing speed.
