Sony E-Mount 24mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar Lens

The Sony E-Mount 24mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar Lens is an APS-C format lens with a 35mm focal length equivalent of 36mm. It also performs well under low-light settings due to its f/1.8 maximum aperture. Constructed with 8 lens elements in 7 groups, it features two aspherical lens elements and one Extra Low Dispersion Glass to reduce spherical and chromatic aberration. Meanwhile, the 0.16m minimum focusing distance allows you to zoom in closer to the subject. Likewise, smooth and quiet framing is also possible through the Direct Manual Focus and quiet video autofocus. Amazing bokeh effects can also be achieved through the seven-blade circular diaphragm. Compatible with Sony E-Mount Cameras, the Sony E-Mount 24mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar Lens has a 72mm filter diameter and is fortified with a sleek and durable aluminium alloy finish.

Product Features in Detail

Extra speed and wide-angle appeal
This compact, lightweight 24 mm Zeiss® Sonnar design features an F1.8 maximum aperture plus outstanding frame-wide sharpness and contrast. It can also produce beautifully smooth "bokeh" when required. This lens is an outstanding choice for a wide range of subjects, from landscapes to low-light indoor shots and even 1:4 close-ups.

Get close for impressive detail and impact
An advanced optical design ensures that maximum performance is achieved right down to 1:4 macro focusing distances, making it possible to shoot small subjects and details with dramatic clarity and a wide-angle perspective. The lens's large F1.8 maximum aperture is an advantage for close-ups too.

Smooth and quiet for quality movies
Smooth, quiet operation is essential for moviemaking. An internal drive motor that achieves fluent, low-noise focus operation makes this lens a good choice for movies as well as stills, keeping imagery solid and noise out of the soundtrack.

Outstanding color and contrast
The ZEISS T* coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced color and contrast, which give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.

Refined exterior finish and feel
The black-finished aluminum alloy exterior of this lens affords an appearance that is eminently suitable for the distinguished Zeiss® name, and of course it blends beautifully with the graceful design of E-mount bodies. The engraved focus ring offers sophisticated appearance as well as superior grip and operating feel.
