Sharp right into the corners - sharp across all apertures: the first-class FE 24 mm F1.4 GM (model SEL-24F14GM) meets the requirements of even the most demanding photographers. With a filter diameter of 67 millimetres, dimensions of just 75.4 x 92.4 millimetres and a weight of just 445 grams, the Lens impresses with its extremely compact and lightweight design. The new lightness is at least partly due to the new compact but high-performance autofocus ultrasonic motor (Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor). It is around three times more powerful than conventional autofocus drives. It also moves the lenses in the Lens extremely quietly, which is particularly appreciated by filmmakers.

The FE 24 mm F1.4 GM meets all quality standards for G Master Lens and combines high resolution and extreme sharpness with fine bokeh. As spherical aberrations and aberrations have a direct influence on the quality of the bokeh, these factors are already checked during the development and production of the lenses. Each Lens is individually tested and adjusted so that it can deliver the highest image quality with outstanding bokeh.
Thanks to its exceptionally high imaging performance, the compact lens is not only ideal for full-frame cameras, but also the perfect complement for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors from Sony, such as the Alpha 6500 and Alpha 6300. In total, 48 native Alpha E-mount lenses are now part of Sony's portfolio - and more lenses will follow.
