Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM (SEL14F18GM)
A pro-tier ultra-wide 14mm f/1.8 GM that stays remarkably light at 460g, built for astro, interiors and wide vlogging on full-frame E-mount. That combination of extreme width, fast aperture and low weight makes it a standout specialist. Be aware the bulbous front means no screw-on filters, just a rear gel holder, and with no OSS, non-IBIS bodies are a poor match for handheld stills.
