The Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G is a new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for Sony full-frame FE-mount cameras (A9/A7/A7R II/A7S). It has four aspherical elements, including one Super ED and three ED elements.
The Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G is a bit of a surprising lens in a couple of ways. Upon first contact, you will notice how small it is compared to similar (DSLR-)offerings. It's even more obvious in term of weight (565g vs 1150g for the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 HSM ART).
The Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G is a premium, ultra wide-angle zoom lens for Sony's full-frame mirrorless Alpha 7-series and Alpha 9 cameras. It costs £1700. Not so long ago, any discussion on Sony's Alpha 7 full-frame mirrorless system always began with the same caveat: although the cameras were...
Extremely compact for such a wide zoom; Excellent image quality; Fast; silent and accurate autofocus
Considerable vignetting at 12mm; Doesn't accept filters
Sony's new lens is an ultra-wide zoom for full frame E mount cameras, although it can also be used on the APS-C format bodies, where it becomes an equivalent 18-36mm. In either case, this is a powerful and useful range.

Sorry for the delay in this review – I was having a little too much fun using the lens. And, reviewing thousands of images takes time. But, those images and the in-the-field use have given me strong insight into what this lens is capable of.
The FE 12-24mm f/4 G replaced my beloved EF 14mm f/2.8L II. I started my move from Canon to Sony in August 2017. Even though my 14mm functioned very well on my Sony bodies, the adapter that I used didn't allow eye-detection and a few other focus modes that the G and GM Sony lenses can provide.
I have used many ultra wides Voigtlander 10mm and 12mm, Rokinon 12mm and 14mm, Sony SEL1018 in full frame mode at 12mm to 18mm. When you go beyond 16mm distortion is going to be there.

Sent back. I already have the 16-35 f/4 and the Rokinon 14mm manual focus. Going down to 12mm wasn't that much and at max of 24 mm is too wide compared to zooming it at 35mm.
The lens is great for interior architecture shots or landscape use. It's a G lens but it's mostly constructed of plastic so it's fairly light and easy to carry around. AF speed is super fast and it uses a silent motor so no noisy AF focusing sound.
