Product Information
Optimize your camera's performance with this compact Sony SEL 24mm f/1.8 Sonnar wide-angle lens. Noted for being the first Sony Zeiss E-mount lens to embrace the classic Sonnar design, this lightweight optical device enhances your camera's ability to achieve spectacular image dimensionality and presence. The device contains seven circular aperture blades, which produce a smoother, more natural defocusing effect on the background of your image because of the shallow depth-of-field.The Sony SEL 24mm f/1.8 lens has many different features that will enhance your photography. The aspherically flanked aperture effectively minimizes spherical distortions and aberrations, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality. A particularly well-designed aspherical element can reduce the total number of elements required in the device, thus keeping the size and weight to a minimum. Moreover, as focal lengths get longer, a normal optical glass would have a problem with chromatic aberrations. But the Sony SEL 24mm lens has an extra-low dispersion element that suppresses chromatic aberration and provides better contrast across the entire image. It also has a direct manual focus system that lets you directly fine-tune the camera's focus after lock-on without having to switch modes.Additionally, this type of device achieves impressive overall resolution, even with the aperture open, because of its excellent corner-to-corner sharpness. The E-mount T lens enables you to take high-quality photos with your camera in low light conditions due to its remarkable range of f/1.8 to f/22 and 24mm focal length with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 36. The device has a maximum magnification level of 0.25x, so you can take dramatic close-ups with exquisite detail. Because the device can focus as close as 6 inches, it can offer a combination of close focus and wide-angle perspectives. You can be assured that even in poor conditions, this well-made, high-quality camera lens will still give you incredible performance. Carl Zeiss covers the surface of its lenses with a special T-Star coating, which almost completely eliminates flares, internal reflection, and light scattering that can otherwise mar your photographs. The Carl Zeiss T-Star coating produces a high contrast and uniform resolution right out to the edges of the image for superior quality. The lens's internal drive motor produces fast and smooth autofocus operations, minimizing noise and image jitter. To reduce glare and improve saturation, this device also accepts a complementary 49mm filter. The Sony SEL Sonnar 24mm f/1.8 lens is compatible with Sony's NEX series of mirrorless digital cameras with an APS-C image sensor. Tested to withstand various real-world conditions, this Sony device can go almost anywhere. The lens's frame is tough and durable, but also lightweight and compact. The release version of this product comes with a front cap, a rear cap, a case, and an ALC-SH114 petal-shaped hood that attaches with a bayonet mount. This Sony product is a premium, high-quality lens intended for professionals and hobby enthusiasts. If you need to take great-looking, top-of-the-line photographs, the Sony SEL 24mm f/1.8 lens allows you to experience incredible Zeiss prime lens performance.Product Identifiers
