Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G

Sony had introduced its trio of G series lenses that are compact and lightweight—the FE 24mm f/2.8 G, the FE 40mm f/2.5 G, and the FE 50mm f/2.5 G. Last month, BP tested the FE 50mm f/2.5 G, and we were quite impressed with its image quality and built. For this review, we will be putting the FE 24mm f/2.8 G on our test bench to see whether it is able to keep up with its sibling.

Features

It is designed using 8 elements in 7 groups, the lens incorporates three aspherical elements and two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements. It has a minimum focusing distance of 24cm when shooting with AF and 18cm when focusing manually. The lens has a maximum magnification ratio of 0.13x when using AF and 0.19 x when using MF. It comes with two linear motors that deliver fast, precise AF with tracking performance. It includes a 7-bladed circular diaphragm and a 49mm filter diameter.

While the lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras; however, it can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 36mm equivalent focal length. It has a fluorine-coated front element and is also dust- and moisture-resistant. Despite its wide view angle, the 24mm f/2.8 accepts filters. One can also attach circular polarising filters for landscape photography or ND filters for movies.
