Sony SEL FE 24mm f1.4 GM

Sony SEL FE 24mm f1.4 GM

Outstanding f1.4 resolution in a fixed focal length mobile lens

Utilizing a variety of leading technologies, the G Master delivers consistently high resolution and smooth, natural bokeh - even at the widest aperture of F1.4. This compact lens is the lightest in its class, offering maximum E-mount mobility. It also offers a fast, precise AF drive and great control and reliability, making it a perfect choice for professionals.

Excellent resolution from center to edge

Two XA elements (extreme aspherical), one of which is for the front element, successfully compensate for coma, field curvature and astigmatism, which are common problems with wide-angle lenses with large apertures. This ensures excellent resolution from the center of the image to the edge, even at the largest aperture of F1.4.

Aspherical glass elements to suppress chromatic aberrations

Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements have been integrated into the optical path of the lens to reduce axial and lateral chromatic aberrations and ensure optimum sharpness throughout the image.

Compact, lightweight design

The new optical design uses two XA elements (one for the front lens) to reduce the overall diameter of the lens and, in combination with the newly developed Direct Drive SSM focus drive system (DDSSM), makes the very light weight of just 445 grams possible. This size- and weight-reduced lens is therefore perfect for compact E-mount housings.

Nano AR coating for reduced reflections

Nano AR original coating technology from Sony effectively eliminates internal reflections and ghosting to achieve optimum contrast and clarity in the widest possible range of shooting conditions. (1. nano-coating/ 2. glass/ 3. light quantity)

State-of-the-art optical design for faithful reproduction of point sources

The state-of-the-art optical design with two XA precision elements removes sagittal reflections, a common aberration in large aperture lenses. Sagittal reflections lead to an unnatural distribution of point light sources, reminiscent of a bird spreading its wings, which is amplified at the edge of the image. The natural reproduction of point sources is important for night shots with stars or city lights, for example. (1) Star shot with the FE 24mm F1.4 GM free of sagittal reflections. 2. strong sagittal reflections in a star shot with a conventional 24 mm lens with F1.4.)

Newly designed DDSSM system optimized for the lens

The newly designed, powerful Direct Drive SSM focus drive system (DDSSM) reduces size and weight while providing approximately three times the thrust of the previous system. The higher performance of the new DDSSM system offers a faster, more accurate and quieter autofocus drive - for outstanding performance in both photo and film shooting.

11 blades for wonderful bokeh

The lens' aperture mechanism consists of 11 blades, common to α lenses, and is designed in a ring shape to achieve a virtually perfect circular aperture - even when stopped down by 1 or 2 stops. This makes it easy to achieve an aesthetic, round bokeh.

Easy release for video recording

The aperture ring provides the immediacy and responsiveness that professionals need for both photo and film recording. The ON/OFF click switch engages or disengages the click stops on the aperture ring as required. The engagement of the click stops is a tactile confirmation that makes it easier to estimate by feel how far the ring has been changed and is therefore well suited for photo shoots. When the stops are not engaged, the aperture ring rotates smoothly and quietly for seamless, silent control when filming

. High reliability in the toughest conditions

The rubber-coated focus ring is easy to control even at low temperatures. A locking button for the lens hood prevents it from accidentally coming loose during transportation. The dust and moisture-proof design increases reliability when used outdoors.

Smooth, versatile operation

The focus hold button can be configured via the housing menu. This allows the user to directly access a second function assigned to the focus hold button, such as split lines to check the composition in landscape shots, or white balance to adjust it to the prevailing lighting conditions or to create a specific mood.

Versatile focus control at the touch of a button

The focus adjustment switch allows you to quickly switch between autofocus and manual focus depending on the shooting conditions.

Fluorine coating on the front element

The fluorine coating on the front element resists fingerprints, dust, water, oil and mud. If contamination does occur, the lens surface is easy to clean.

Excellent response and differentiated linear focus control

The focus ring offers MF with linear response for precise, responsive focus control. Focusing changes linearly according to the rotation of the focus ring, providing the immediate control required for fast and precise manual focusing.
