Sharp Prime Lens Performance
The Sony Zeiss 24mm f1.8 offers spectacular prime lens performance no other lens of the same field can counter. Based on the Zeiss Sonnar optical concept, this Sony lens features a large maximum aperture of 1.8, keeping each frame sharp and focused. This also results in a shallow depth of field and that works well even in low-light environments.
Extra Speed and Wide-Angle Appeal
Designed for APS-C Sony E-mount, the Sony 24mm f1.8 offers wide-angle appeal with fast AF for more precise shots. This Sony lens offers a 36mm equivalent focal length that improves street, interiors, landscapes, and general photography. You can also use this lens on full-frame E-mount cameras in APS-C mode.
Glass Elements with Extra-Low Dispersion
The Sony Zeiss 24mm 1.8 is designed with eight elements in seven groups for sharper performance. It features one extra-low dispersion glass element that lowers chromatic aberration and two aspherical elements that reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations. The Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings incorporated in the lens surface also help lessen reflections for clarity, contrast, and colour fidelity.

How to Use / Care Instructions
To mount the lens, align the white index mark on the lens barrel with the corresponding mark on your Sony E-mount camera body, then twist clockwise until it locks into place. To maintain the pristine quality of the Zeiss T* coating, we recommend protecting the front element with a high-quality UV filter. When cleaning, use a blower to remove loose dust before gently wiping the glass with a clean microfibre cloth. Always keep the lens caps on when not in use and store it in a dry, cool environment.
