Sony FE 24mm F 1.4 GM lens adopts a brand-new optical design, and its structure is 10 group 13 lens, including two XA (super aspheric) lenses and three ED (ultra-low dispersion) lenses. Two XA lenses can effectively suppress coma, thus accurately reproducing the point light source, making FE 24mm F 1.4 GM a sharp weapon for starry photographers.

Sony FE 24mm F 1.4 GM also adopts the unique nano anti-reflection film technology, which can effectively reduce glare and ghosts and further improve the resolution.

Sony FE 24mm F 1.4 GM also adopts a newly developed high-power DDSSM (direct-drive ultrasonic motor), which has a driving force about three times higher than that of the previous DDSSM, achieving faster, more accurate and quieter focusing.

It can be seen from the real sample that Sony FE 24mm F 1.4 GM maintains a very high resolution in the whole aperture range, which also provides a more tolerant space for post-processing. We can cut local pictures and complete different composition styles, but the details of the pictures are still very clear, and the blurring effect of the background is more obvious.

Customize vertical cutting and flexible composition.

In the process of shooting indoors, we may often encounter insufficient light. At this time, a larger aperture can often bring clear image quality, and at the same time, a large aperture allows us to try shooting under a safe shutter. For example, the photo taken with the shutter of 1/30s in the following figure has a very clear center focus, and the Jiao Wai blur effect is very delicate in the market. After we enlarge the photo by 100%, the details near the central focus,

Through the actual hands-on shooting experience, Sony FE 24mm F 1.4 GM lens left a deep impression on the author. Its lighter and smaller mirror design is very suitable for daily hand-held shooting, and the high-resolution photo quality also provides more space for post-processing. In addition, through the actual shooting experience, the Jiao Wai blur effect of FE 24mm F 1.4 GM is equally outstanding.
