Sony SEL814G

Sony Electronics introduces the SEL814G, the company’s first fisheye zoom G Lens for full-frame Alpha E-mount cameras. The 8mm to 14mm zoom range covers circular fisheye at 8mm through diagonal fisheye at 14 mm, with a constant aperture of f/3.5. The lens pairs a compact, lightweight body with G Lens resolution, fast and precise autofocus, and refined operability for stills and movies. In a dual-lens configuration with the VENICE Extension System Mini it also supports spatial content production. The SLE814G will have an MSRP of $1,599.99.

“Our first fisheye zoom runs circular through diagonal across 8 to 14 millimeters, so you can find your perspective standing right in front of the subject,” said Yang Cheng, Vice President of Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics. “We held it to G Lens resolution through the whole range, to provide an exciting, high-quality creative tool. And at 314 grams, you can carry it all day.”

The lens measures approximately 63.1 mm in maximum diameter and 82.8 mm in length and weighs approximately 314 g, giving it mobility for handheld, gimbal, and rig-based shooting. An inner zoom mechanism minimizes shifts in the center of gravity while zooming.
