Sony SEL14F18GM | Full Frame FE 14mm F1.8 GM - Premium G Master Series Prime Lens

Product Information

Lightroom’s manual correction works well, but it does require about +75 in my experience (with a midpoint of 25) to correct at f/2.8. Remember, brightening the corners by a significant amount can start to make noise more visible, so that does harm this lens for astrophotography.

Interestingly, for a wide and fast lens, there aren’t significant issues with chromatic aberration on the Pergear 14mm f/2.8. I needed to really work to produce any chromatic aberrations. It was worst with high-contrast out-of-focus subjects, like the plant in the photo below (it takes on a slight blue/green aberration). Overall, though, the fancy lens elements that Pergear mentions are doing their job here. NIKON Z 6 @ ISO 100, 1/800, FlareFor many years, my preferred full-frame-capable ultra-wide angle lens was the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM Lens Not only are gels far lighter and less expensive than glass filters, each 3 x 3" (75 x 75mm) gel has enough material to be used several times ever. Lacquer is a varnish that dries to produce a hard, durable finish. It comes in gloss, matt, or satin matt finishes and can be clear or coloured. It is usually applied to the flooring to help reduce the damage caused by spillages and act as an additional wear layer. This makes lacquered floors ideal for more chaotic areas whilst maintaining their natural character. Oiled

Like all Canon L Series Lenses, the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens has a high build quality that feels great in use. I prefer the look I get from the this fixed 14mm over the look I get from the 14-24mm zoom. This is because the zoom's simple distortion squishes things in the corners closer together, while the complex distortion of this fixed 14mm lens stretches out the corners. Half the reason to shoot a 14mm lens is to stretch out the corners, and this fixed 14mm does this better than the zoom. The simpler distortion of the zoom is much easier to correct if you want perfectly straight lines. If you make the same shot with both lenses, you'll see very different renditions and angles in the corners. In the shot below shot with this fixed lens, you'll see the corners pull up, while with the zoom, they sag down. This fixed 14mm is smaller and weighs exactly 2/3 what the huge new 14-24mm f/2.8 zoom (introduced in 2007) does. This means this fixed 14mm weighs 12 oz. (333g) less than the huge zoom! The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens features a rear focusing system driven by Canon's excellent USM (Ultrasonic Motor). While it may not be surprising that an L prime delivers better image quality than an L zoom, this was not the case with theMoving away from the center of the frame, there will naturally still be perspective distortion that causes a heavy skew on vertical lines as the lens is tilted upwards or downwards. However, because there is very limited barrel distortion with the straight lines, fixing this with only a perspective distortion correction is simple.

While the sealing in this lens is not different than the rest of Canon's weather-sealed non-super telephoto lenses, The Nikon 14mm f/2.8 lives to be used on your FX camera, and also feels perfect on manual focus cameras like the FA. The newer FX cameras like the D5 correct its distortion automatically. Enjoy high quality performance, low cost prints and ultimate convenience with the PIXMA G series of refillable ink tank printers. Don't waste your money on this for DX digital. For DX, get the 10-20mm DX or Tokina 11-20mm. These DX lenses can use front filters, and weigh and cost much less. This 14mm can't use anything except gels behind the lens. The reason today to get this 14mm is for use on 35mm and FX cameras, not to piddle with it on DX cameras.

MTF Chart

I find it especially challenging to compose a pleasing 14mm full frame image as this angle of view takes a lot in.

There are compact lenses that probably have restricted apertures and sometimes some optical compromises; there are huge, heavy lenses that take no prisoners in their quest for optical quality and lens speed, and the new Sigma lens falls squarely into the latter category. It's big, it's heavy, but is it beautiful as well? Let's find out, using the full frame Sony A7R III 42MP body. glass for sharper images and less lateral secondary chromatic aberration (color fringing). See the gold metal band around the front? That how Nikon sets off their serious ED lenses, and Nikon is so serious that they really use solid gold. People argue whether it's solid 14kt or just 18 kit gold-filled, but it is gold.As a traditional AF lens, it also works perfectly on almost every AF, digital, film and manual focus camera made since dirt. This kind of lens is the most universal Nikon lens there is. It's flawless on an F3, FA, FE, F4, F5, FG, F6, N55, D100, or whatever. The first shot is using the newest 14-24mm f/2.8 as a reference through which to set manual WB, and then the second shot is shot with this14mm f/2.8. The 14-24mm is the first ultra-ultra wide to be free from peripheral color shift, most likely due to the new Nano-crystal coating. This product is developed, manufactured and sold based on the specifications of E-mount which was disclosed by Sony Corporation under the license agreement with Sony Corporation. The traditional 7-bladed diaphragm gives Nikon's classic 14-pointed stars on brilliant points of light. I hope you enjoyed my field review of the Pergear 14mm f/2.8. I always find it interesting to test these unique entrants from developing manufacturers, and I hope you can make use of the results.
