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

Product Information

With that in mind, I tested the lens both in daylight and astro-shoots. While I’ve not had great weather, nor ideal timing for the Milky Way, I was able to get a good feel for the strengths and weaknesses of this lens over time. Sharpness To calculate 14 Millimeters to the corresponding value in Inches, multiply the quantity in Millimeters by 0.039370078740157 (conversion factor). In this case we should multiply 14 Millimeters by 0.039370078740157 to get the equivalent result in Inches: The imperfections of a distressed finish are much more pronounced than brushed and hand scraped finishes. This gives the flooring a worn and rustic look, without the hefty price tag of a reclaimed solid wood floor.It really is the perfect alternative in terms of cost and durability. Lacquered

and then its replacement, the even better (at the wide end at least) Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. One was a tiny amount sharper in the center (the 1Ds Mark II ISO 12233 Chart 14mm II crops displayed are from this lens), the other was very slightly sharper in the corners.This effect aims to recreate the traditional look of wood flooring when a professional woodworker would hand finish each board, which gave them unique characteristics. This finish especially looks good on glossy, lacquered flooring where the reflection highlights the waviness of the finish. Aged

When the cap is removed, the vast, domed front element and the solid, built-in lens hood are revealed. Because of this, front filters are not possible, so a gelatin filter slot is provided at the rear of the lens. A separate guide plate (template) is included so gelatin filters can be cut to the correct size. Heating strips can be placed around the front of the lens, reflecting its applications in astrophotography. The two share a similar shape, size - and of course, convex-shaped objective element with a fixed metal lens hood. While ultra-wide lenses can have a wide range of uses, from journalism to sports, I was very keen to test this lens for landscapes and astrophotography. With both those genres of photography, it’s useful to have an ultra-wide lens at your disposal, and 14mm certainly qualifies! MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth.A huge advantage this 14mm lens has over its competitors is its portability. Small and lightweight, this 460g lens is 2.4x lighter than Sigma's 1120g 14mm lens, and 2x lighter than the 950g Sigma 20mm lens. It's very similar in size and weight to Sony's 20mm f/1.8 G Master lens, but for a 14mm this small size is almost unheard of. This lens is currently the lightest, fastest and widest prime lens from Sony, making it an absolute dream to take out on shoots. In the world of flooring, finding the perfect balance of aesthetics, durability, and affordability can be a complex task. 14mm engineered wood flooring emerges as a compelling solution, offering the visual appeal of natural wood, resilient construction, and compatibility with modern amenities like underfloor heating. If I really try to imagine seeing something, I may have seen a slight tendency for the corners to be optimized for subjects somewhat further away than in the center. This 14mm works great on 1959-1977 cameras, but you'll have to use stop down metering, or have a meter coupling prong installed. The Nikon 14mm even has pilot dimples on its aperture ring to install this prong! Don't come complaining to me if you can't get the Nikon 14mm to work on any Nikon camera of any vintage.

For many years, my preferred full-frame-capable ultra-wide angle lens was the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM Lens This 14mm handles great on manual-focus cameras. Unlike most AF lenses, the manual feel is excellent. Of course the nicest way to shoot it on film is on an F6, but it works great on all Nikons. Since the shutter is open for less time to capture the same amount of light, it means using a lower ISO. A shorter exposure and a lower ISO means less noise. Shorter exposures also means sharper stars with less trail. It's win-win. The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens is so wide that getting adequate full frame flash coverage can be a problem.A bulging convex front lens element and a built-in metal lens hood are identity features of this lens. To my pleasant surprise, it doesn't suffer much from diffraction, even in the corners. My older 15mm f/3.5 AI-s got horribly soft, especially in the corners, at small apertures. However, the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 is not perfect. It chronically weighs down you camera bag, which is galling if you only intend to use it occasionally at night. History/origin: The term "inch" was derived from the Latin unit "uncia" which equated to "one-twelfth" of a Roman foot.
