G Master Image Quality
Combining advanced optics with the latest technology, the Sony 24mm f1.4 GM lens captures landscapes, interiors, astro photography, and wide-angle portraits of breathtaking quality. Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements help produce brilliant edge-to-edge definition in every frame, while three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements suppress chromatic aberration to ensure superior sharpness and clean colours. The Sony 24mm 1.4 lens also minimises sagittal flare, ensuring that point sources of light like stars are captured as they appear in reality. Sony’s Nano AR Coating keeps ghosting and flare at bay to deliver impressively clear and vivid imagery.
Outstanding Low-Light Performance, Beautiful Bokeh & Striking Close-ups
Featuring a large maximum aperture, the Sony 24mm 1.4 lens is outstanding for low-light shooting whether you’re capturing the inside of a candlelit cathedral, or night-time landscapes lit only by stars. The large aperture and 11-blade circular diaphragm create lush, natural-looking bokeh – even at f/1.4 – to beautifully emphasise in-focus details. A 24cm minimum focusing distance and 0.17x maximum magnification let you capture striking close-up perspectives, made more dramatic by the lens’ wide angle of view.
Fast, Quiet & High-Precision Autofocus
The Sony 24mm 1.4 lens locks focus in an instant, in near silence. Its powerful DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) focus drive system delivers three times the thrust of the previous focus drive system, providing autofocus that’s faster, quieter, and more accurate. So whether you’re photographing fast, unpredictable action on the street or filming quiet moments that you don’t want to disturb, you can count on sharply focused images, candid portrait expressions, and unspoilt audio.
Compact Design, All-Weather Performance
At only 445g, the Sony 24mm GM lens is lighter than any in its class*. This makes it the perfect complement for Sony E-mount camera bodies, and a fantastic travel or everyday companion that’s a breeze to pack or carry in hand. With a dust- and moisture-resistant design; a fluorine-coated front element that wards off water, grease, and grime; and a rubber-finished focus ring for easy operation in cold environments, this Sony 24mm lens provides reliable performance in any shooting conditions.
