Key Features

• Fast f/1.4 Maximum Aperture

  • Low-Light Mastery: The wide f/1.4 aperture is perfect for low-light photography, allowing you to capture sharp images in dim conditions without raising the ISO. This feature is invaluable for nightscapes, indoor photography, and other scenarios where light is limited.
  • Cinematic Depth of Field: Achieve beautiful, creamy bokeh with a shallow depth of field, making your subjects stand out against soft, blurred backgrounds. This is particularly effective for portraits and artistic compositions.

• Advanced Optical Design

  • Superior Image Quality: The lens is crafted with two XA (extreme aspherical) elements and three ED (extra-low dispersion) elements to minimize chromatic aberration, distortion, and ensure edge-to-edge sharpness. This design produces high-contrast images with accurate color reproduction across the entire frame.
  • Nano AR Coating: Sony's Nano AR coating effectively reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and clarity even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions, such as backlit scenes.

• G Master Build and Performance

  • Professional Build Quality: Built to withstand the demands of professional use, the lens features a robust yet lightweight construction. The metal exterior and weather-sealing make it resistant to dust and moisture, allowing you to shoot in various environmental conditions.
  • Smooth and Quiet Autofocus: The lens is equipped with a Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor (DDSSM) for fast, precise, and silent autofocus. This makes it an excellent choice for both photography and video, where noise and focus speed are critical.

• Versatile 24mm Focal Length

  • Wide-Angle Perspective: The 24mm focal length offers a wide-angle view that is perfect for capturing expansive landscapes, architectural shots, and group photos. It also provides a dynamic perspective for street and documentary photography, allowing you to tell compelling visual stories.
