Live prices and creator coverage for the Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 Air FE Lens (Sony E) - everything in one place.
Our editorial take on the Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 Air FE Lens (Sony E)
The Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 Air FE is an ultrawide prime lens for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras, priced at $199. At 14mm, it delivers an expansive field of view suited to architecture, interiors, landscapes, and astrophotography. The f/4 maximum aperture is modest but typical for budget ultrawides, and Viltrox has equipped it with a fast STM autofocus motor and electronic aperture control for seamless integration with Sony bodies.
The optical formula incorporates four extra-low dispersion elements, two high-refractive elements, and two aspherical elements to control distortion and chromatic aberration. HD nano multilayer coating is included to reduce flare and ghosting. Internal focusing and a 58mm filter thread add practical convenience. At this price, the lens undercuts first-party and many third-party ultrawide options by a significant margin, positioning it as an accessible entry point for creators who need ultrawide coverage without the premium typically associated with specialty glass.
