Sony FE 24mm F2.8 G
Full-Frame LensProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Sony FE 24mm F2.8 G is a mid-range, ultra-compact prime lens for Sony's E-mount mirrorless cameras. It joins the FE 24mm F1.4 GM in this popular focal length while providing a more inconspicuous package.
While its maximum aperture at f/2.8 can be found in Sony's GM zoom lenses such as the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM and FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM, the FE 24mm F2.8 G is significantly more portable, while delivering an easy edge in image quality.
Unlike previous ultra-compact lenses released by Sony, the new 40mm is constructed of a full metal body with full sealing against dust and moisture. Like other recent Sony G series of prime lenses, the 40mm F2.5 G features a customizable focus hold button, an aperture ring that can be de-clicked, and an AF/MF switch.
The SEL24F28G joins the FE 50mm F2.5 G and FE 40mm F2.5 G introduced at the same time as a trio of ultra-compact lenses with a premium build.

Reviewer score 89% (normalized by Neofiliac)Sony FE 12-24mm f2.8 GM is the largest, heaviest, and by far most expensive of the three lenses in this comparison. Focus accuracy and repeatability is critical to consistently produce sharp shots. The zoom ring turns through 60 degrees and has a 17mm wide rubber surface with a good grip. The lens focuses in around 0.6 sec from infinity to 0.35m (1:10 magnification)
Pros
- Incredibly bright f2.8 focal ratio
- Sharpness at 24mm focal length
- Dust and splash protection
Cons
- Mediocre focus breathing

Pros
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent build quality
- Easy to use
Cons
- 1-stop difference in max aperture

Reviewer score 90% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM is the best wide zoom we've tested for any system. For landscape use, the lens shines at f/5.6 and f/8, and the corners are just shy of tack sharp. This is an especially appealing lens for landscape photographers who love the sunstar effect.
Pros
- Extremely wide angle of view
- High-resolution sensors
- Dust and splash protection
Cons
- Some distortion at f/2.8
