Opinion:This is a splendid reportage lens. Focusing is very fast and the curvature of the field helps in photos taken indoors. The central part of the image is razor-sharp, so you can always crop to tighten the frame. With this 24 you have a digital zoom up to 50 simply by cropping in post, especially if you use a camera with a 60 megapixel sensor. My grade is a nice 10 laude. It is a step above the Leica Elmarit 28 that has accompanied me on my travels around the world for so many years. I see some somewhat critical judgments on the resolution at the edges of the image. True, the resolution at the edges is a little lower, but there is no loss of contrast and this is only visible when zoomed in to 100% on the 27-inch monitor. In real images, printed or viewed at sensible magnifications, the problem is non-existent. This is an excellent lens.
Cons:exaggerated distortion - very visible field curvature - vignetting - price
Opinion:After the 40mm f2.5 G (excellent), I wanted to try the 24mm G of the same series thinking to have more or less the same image quality... Nothing could be further from the truth. The sharpness of my specimen has been variable from photo to photo. The exaggerated distortion intolerable for a very recent design perspective with a high price is the thing that made me decide the immediate return. I tried to correct it as many say through Camera Raw and Dxo Lab, but inevitably in addition to losing framed field you lose so much sharpness on the edges. The vignetting is also very conspicuous but recoverable. An optics that is aesthetically fabulous returns very disappointing images. Things to avoid
Cons:Distortion quite high that must be corrected in post (or in the car but always via software) price a bit 'high for the type of optics.
Opinion:I have been for years a very happy owner of Canon's 24mm F2.8 IS USM, an optic with which I shot a lot. I was looking for a worthy replacement in the Sony world, for now I haven't done many things yet, I'm using it a bit for fun for now, but I'm starting to get familiar with it. The feeling is still to have a hand a toy for its size (but this is a feeling that also gives the having passed from reflex to mirrorless), a toy that however copes well a little in all light situations, has a good bokeh and a pleasant management of the flare against the light. As said the distortion is imported and must be corrected via software I have not detected aberration problems for now. Overall a good product in my opinion the right price should be around 400 €
