Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM

Sony's professional wide-angle prime for full-frame E-mount — the FE 24mm f/1.4 GM combines G Master optical quality with an unusually fast f/1.4 aperture at 24mm. That combination opens up creative possibilities unavailable with most wide primes: strong foreground-to-background separation at a wide angle, low-light landscape and street work without a tripod, and astrophotography with minimal star trailing at shorter exposures. XD linear motor autofocus is fast and precise for a wide prime, and G Master weather sealing handles professional outdoor use. A distinctive and powerful lens for landscape, astrophotography, and documentary photographers who want something beyond the standard 35mm and 50mm primes.

GearFrame's Take

The finest wide prime for Sony FE — G Master quality at f/1.4 and 24mm, with XD linear AF and weather sealing that make it equally capable for astrophotography, landscape, and street.

Great For
🌌
Astrophotography f/1.4 at 24mm allows very short exposures for stars with controlled coma — one of the finest astrophotography primes available.
🏔️
Landscape G Master sharpness, f/1.4 for dawn and dusk, and 24cm close focus for foreground interest — an outstanding landscape prime.
🏙️
Street f/1.4 separates subjects at wide angles in a way f/2.8 cannot — powerful for low-light street and documentary work.
✈️
Travel Compact for a G Master and weather-sealed — a capable single prime for travel photographers who want wide-angle versatility.
