Pricier than some other options

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

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.

What does this mean ?

What We Love. The G Master line has quite a reputation: high-class, high-standard design, high image quality. So when we finally got our hands on the new Sony FE 24mm F/1.4 GM , we definitely had high expectations. It's a good thing that Sony is consistent with producing excellent glass.

Light & compact; Has weather sealing; Aperture ring is a plus; Fast and precise AF; even in low light; Very sharp image quality; Hardly any barrel distortion; Nice bokeh

Signs of chromatic aberration; Pricey

Excellent 24mn F1.4 lens from the Sony GM line...stays on my camera

The FE 24mm f1.4 GM is Sony's flagship 24mm prime lens and a good match for Sony's mirrorless bodies. It is very sharp in close quarters and at longer distances, and produces a nice soft Bokeh rendering the background pleasantly blurred – as far as 24mm lenses go.

Pretty small and light for an f1.4 lens; Very good resolution and contrast; Very good resistance against flare; glare; and ghosting; Very nice background Bokeh; Weather sealing; de-clickable aperture ring; lockable lens hood; focus-lock button

Longitudinal color aberrations up to f2.8; High price
