Description — Sony SEL24F14GM
The Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM Lens is a prime wide-angle lens built for full-frame Sony E mount mirrorless cameras. Its f/1.4 maximum aperture makes it a strong choice when light levels are challenging or when you want greater control over depth of field in a wide-angle composition. The fixed 24mm focal length delivers a classic wide perspective suited to landscapes, architecture, street photography, and environmental portraiture.
Autofocus and manual focus are both supported, giving photographers the control they need across different shooting scenarios. Weighing just 445g, this lens is practical for fieldwork without being overly burdensome. The 67mm filter thread provides easy access to a broad range of screw-on filters.
Note that the lens does not include built-in image stabilization, so stabilization-dependent shooting will depend on the camera body's capabilities. Overall, this is a focused, capable wide-angle prime for Sony mirrorless photographers.
