You can finally preorder the new Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM at Bhphoto. Adorama. Amazon USA. BuyDig. FocusCamera. Calumet Germany. WexUK. P.S.: The Sony A7III is now in Stock at Adorama (Click here).

I know we were hoping to see a lot more than just one lens. But that said the new 24mm GM is truly amazing. It’s compact and super sharp. It’s one lens I am considering to buy now although I would prefer to have a 21mm focal length with the same speed…
