SUMMARY
Sony's first-party E-mount lineup now includes the FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G, a compact and well-built lens that provides creative flexibility with its zoom capability, switching between circular and diagonal fisheye views. Despite its $1,600 price, it offers optical performance that exceeds expectations for an extreme lens design. While the need to remove the hood at wider focal lengths is an inconvenience, its autofocus and internal zoom are beneficial for both photographers and filmmakers.
