Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 G Fisheye: Compact Power for Dual Fisheye Views

Sony's FE 8-14mm f/3.5 G is a compact full-frame fisheye zoom that offers two usable looks—8mm circular and 14mm rectilinear—with fast autofocus, sharp detail, strong flare control, and a rugged build. It includes features like a focus-hold, de-clickable/lockable aperture, a Zoom Lock, and weather sealing, making it a modern, highly capable option for fisheye enthusiasts and action shooters, though at $1,600 it’s pricey and the 8mm corners can be slightly soft wide open; for non-fisheye work or cheaper alternatives, Laowa’s 8-15mm remains a contender without AF.
