Sony 24mm F1.4 GM review by Marc Alhadeff: “it is a new masterpiece from Sony”

Share


Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM lens at Bhphoto. Adorama. Amazon. Calumet Germany. WexUK.

Marc Alhadeff tested the new Sony 24mm GM lens. This is his conclusion:

The Sony 24mm F1.4 GM is a new masterpiece from Sony and well deserve its GM label. It is certainly one of the best 24mm if we consider all criteria together

  • Excellent sharpness wide open across the full field, even wide open (Note : for close distance corners are “only” very good at F1.4/F2)
  • Fast and accurate AF with very good Eye AF performance
  • Small and light
  • Excellent bokeh and very smooth background blur 
  • Fast Aperture : F1.4 : perfect for low light 
  • Very small focusing distance + F1.4 = perfect for small depth of field
  • Very good contrast and 3D effect at F1.4 for people portraits
  • No field curvature
  • Very low distorsion
  • Very low coma (suited for Astrophotography)
  • Suited for video thanks to click less aperture ring
  • Very good color rendition (but Zeiss Loxia 25mm F2.4 is excellent)
  • Very well built, weather sealed

There are however a few area where it is not “perfect”

  • Very small amount of CA
  • Resistance to flare is good but not excellent
  • Vignetting at F1.4 & F2 (a future Lightroom Lens profile will correct it)
  • Price (but in line with GM price range)

The lens is very versatile and will be the perfect choice for landscape, street photography, , low light, architecture, people reportage, full body portraits, astrophotography, and this  both in photo and in video

Nikon is confident they can beat Sony&Canon and become Number 1 in Full Frame “quite soon”

Share

I still have a fresh memory of the days when Samsung was claiming they would become the number one company in the system mirrorless camera world. Well it didn’t end well for them. I hope the following Nikon statement will not bring them bad luck too. In an interview released at Dpreview Nikon said:

“Our goal is to become number one in the full-frame market. We believe that we can achieve the number one position maybe quite soon”

Quite soon? Let’s pack folks, the game is over. Nikon won and your E-mount stopped to work as of today :)

–

On a serious note: My bet is Canon will still lead the pack in 3 years from now…
