Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G

Part of Sony's 2021 compact G-prime trio (24/40/50mm) — small, weather-sealed and sharp, an underrated everyday lens for travel, street and vlogging, if lacking the outright character of a GM prime.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
