Sony has debuted the FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G (SEL814G), the company’s first fisheye zoom G Lens for sports and video production.
It can also be used for spatial content production when used in a dual-lens configuration with the VENICE Extension System Mini.
At 8mm it shoots circular fisheye with a 180-degree angle of view projected as a circular image on a full-frame sensor, said Sony, and at 14mm the lens shoots diagonal fisheye across the full frame with a 180-degree diagonal angle of view.
The lens measures approximately 63.1mm in maximum diameter and 82.8mm in length and weighs approximately 314g, giving it mobility for handheld, gimbal, and rig-based shooting, added the company.
An inner zoom mechanism minimises shifts in the centre of gravity while zooming. Using two sets of the VENICE Extension System Mini and this lens, side by side, positions the optical axes approximately 64mm apart, close to the average interpupillary distance of human eyes, supporting spatial content production, including VR, with a natural sense of depth and distance, said Sony.
