The Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G is a portable prime characterized by its smart build and sophisticated G Series optics. The wide-angle focal length and modest maximum aperture excel in a variety of situations, such as for street, architecture, landscape, and travel, and the portable build and stylish looks make for a great go-to lens for everyday shooting. All lenses prioritize a compact profile with an emphasis on intuitive handling; each features a manual aperture ring along with other tactile controls. Matched aluminum finish with stylish focal length and aperture engravings, both aperture and focusing rings, and matching metal lens hoods. One extra-low dispersion glass element controls color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color fidelity. Two linear motors deliver quick and accurate autofocus performance, along with capable subject tracking for working with fast-moving subjects. This AF system is also especially quiet to suit its use for cine applications. Linear Response manual focus control offers more natural handling and an AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for tactile control over this setting. Impressive close-up performance for working with close-up subjects; this lens has a minimum focusing distance of 7.1" with MF (9.4" with AF), which results in a 0.19x maximum magnification. Lens measures 1.8" and weighs 5.7 oz, making it a great portable choice that's well-suited to both full-frame and APS-C bodies.
