Mount Sony E
Focal length 24 mm
Max aperture f/1.4
Stabilisation No
Weight 445 g What reviewers say Both praise compact handling, strong central sharpness, attractive background blur and the aperture controls. Photography Blog reports excellent sharpness across the frame even wide open; Digital Camera World finds softer edges and some colour fringing in its one-day shooting sample. Both regard the price as high. Photography Blog also notes corner darkening at large apertures.
