Overview / Product Description


Sony FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye 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 and professional use.

  • Sony's first full-frame E-mount fisheye zoom lens
  • 8–14mm zoom spans circular to diagonal fisheye perspectives
  • Constant F3.5 aperture throughout the zoom range
  • Excellent resolution with minimal chromatic aberration
  • Fast, accurate autofocus for both stills and movies
  • Compact, lightweight 314 g design for outstanding mobility
  • Minimal focus breathing for smooth movie imagery
  • 0.15 m minimum focus distance for dramatic close-ups
  • Professional 3D VR capture with natural spatial rendering
  • Reliable construction for demanding field work

Versatile fisheye expression

The 180° angle of view captures expansive, dynamic spaces, and the 8-14 mm zoom range goes from full-frame circular fisheye at 8 mm to natural-looking 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.

Outstanding G LensTM optical performance

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and aspherical elements in an innovative optical design create a compact, lightweight lens that delivers high resolution and minimal chromatic aberration across the image. 0.15 m (0.5 ft) min. focus with 0.22x max. magnification enables dynamic close-up perspectives with smooth background bokeh.

Fast, accurate AF and intuitive MF

The linear-motor focus drive ensures fast, precise AF and tracking, and effectively suppresses focus breathing for smooth, professional-looking movies. The linear motor 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 intuitive manual focus when needed.

Small, light, and extraordinarily versatile

Optimized projection*4 reduces size to 63.1 x 82.8 mm (2-1/2 x 3-3/8 in.) and weight to 314 g (11.1 oz.). This lens is an ideal match for E-mount bodies, reducing fatigue during long handheld shooting sessions while improving mobility. The internal zoom maintains ideal balance at any focal length, and the rear filter holder accepts standard sheet filters.

Independent focus, zoom, and iris rings

Independent focus, zoom, and iris rings allow direct, intuitive control, making it easier to achieve your creative goals.

Reliable in challenging outdoor conditions

A dust and moisture-resistant design ensures high reliability in outdoor conditions where rain and airborne dust might otherwise be a problem. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that prevents contaminants from sticking to the lens surface while making it easier to clean.

Natural 3D VR content production

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