Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM Review
With a light, compact design and stellar optics, you can't ask or a better wide-angle prime lens than the Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM. The Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM ($1,399) is everything a modern wide-angle lens should be. It's notably smaller and lighter than alternatives for SLR systems, exceptionally sharp, and opens up to f/1.4 to snap images with defocused backgrounds. If it's within your budget, it should be your first choice in this focal length for your Sony a7 or a9 series camera, and earns our Editors' Choice recommendation. Compact, Wide, and Bright The FE 24mm F1.4 GM is a little bit smaller and lighter than similar lenses for SLR systems. It comes in at 3.6 by 3.0 inches (HD) and just under a pound, with support for 67mm front filters. Compare that with the the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art, which costs less, but is a bit bigger all around and a half-pound heavier. The lens is part of Sony's top-tier G Master series, and includes the expected design touches. The barrel is rugged polycarbonate, with dust and splash protection, and anti-smudge fluorine coating on its front element. Sony includes a reversi...
Pros:
- Bright, f/1.4 aperture
- Light and compact
- Dust, splash, and fluorine protection
- Aperture ring with selectable detents
Cons:
- Pricier than some other options

Quality is good, size is small
I am not a professional photographer. I found no problem using this lens. Quality is good, size is small. I will try to use it for travel.

The BEST all around lens on the MARKET!
Forever, I have been a fan of wide-angle. From films to photos. Portraits to landscapes, everything is amazing with wide angle. I have gone through many lenses, the 25mm f/2 by Zeiss, the 35mm 1.4 GM from Sony, the 24-70 2.8 GM from Sony, and finally now I have a lens that I love every aspect of.

Brilliant
I borrowed this lens once. On the basis of great reviews. I shoot rockn roll concerts very often and wanted to try it out. I was absolutely excited and convinced. What a quality. Sharp from corner to corner, and that wide open. Even the drummer who is further away is clearly visible.

Very happy with this lens! Using it on my Sony A6400, as a fast 36mm, one lens solution, for every day general photography!

Sharp, compact
Fantastic Sharp lens, compact size. I like the aperture ring on the lens with the ability to revert to using the thumb wheels by switching to A on the ring.
