Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM 

Top Rated Gear: Used Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens for Sony E V MFR: SEL1224GM.

You'll be captivated by the ultra-wide, constant F2.8 12-24mm zoom range of the FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens for Sony E. This lens offers an expansive angle of view at the 12mm end, perfect for capturing breathtaking landscapes, night scenes, and architectural wonders. Its innovative optical design, combined with Sony's advanced XD Linear Motors, ensures outstanding G Master image quality in a lightweight lens. The lens features three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, including the largest ever made for any Alpha lens. These, along with one aspherical element, contribute to a stunning G Master resolution across the entire image area. Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass elements work together to suppress chromatic aberration, ensuring maximum sharpness and preventing color smearing.The FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens for Sony E also boasts a new Nano AR Coating II. This coating is applied evenly to large lens elements or highly curved surfaces to suppress internal reflections, resulting in clear, crisp images even in challenging light conditions. Despite its wide-angle view, this lens is surprisingly compact and lightweight, weighing only 29.88 ounces. It's ideal for active sports shooters seeking mobility without compromising on ultra-wide angles. The lens's XA elements, with their extremely high surface precision, effectively suppress onion-ring bokeh. The fine tuning of its spherical aberration characteristics during design and manufacture, along with a nine-blade circular aperture, contribute to a smooth, creamy G Master bokeh. The lens's floating focus mechanism divides the focus group into two independently controllable groups, minimizing aberration and maintaining top performance from infinity to close-up focus, throughout the entire zoom range. The constant F2.8 maximum aperture at all focal lengths ensures consistent exposure, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity, making it ideal for flexible moviemaking. The lens's dust and moisture-resistant design, along with a fluorine front-element coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, make it reliable for outdoor use. The FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens for Sony E also features a rear filter holder for standard sheet-type ND, color correction, and other filters, expanding your creative possibilities. The lens's focus mode switch allows for instant switching between auto and manual focus mode, while a conveniently placed focus hold button offers easy control and can be customized to a variety of functions. Experience the difference with the FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens for Sony E, a lens that combines advanced technology, superior design, and exceptional performance to deliver stunning images.

Used Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens for Sony E V

My favourire lens. Great for travel photography, I use mostly for waterfalls pictures.

Great quality.

Probably THE most expensive lens in my arsenal. I had a off brand crop sensor 11-24mm that I was using for real estate. After slapping this lens on my camera and seeing what I've been losing (with the other lens), the price tag became a lot more digestible. Plus, with the trade-in trade-up, tax free, 36 month free financing, why not?

Life Changing Experience

I have been using this lens now for the past few years and love it! I usually grab this lens when I am doing helicopter photo flights with others or just for personal use images for helicopter photo flights. The ability to quickly and smoothly zoom in and out from 12mm "all the way" 24mm with a short twist is great.

For those that need / want to use drop in filters they are sold separately and used in the rear of the lens as the front element on this lens is INSANE. It's super bulbous and really sick (in a good way...). I love the constant F2.8 abilities though for the most part I will tend to stop down just a tiny bit for landscape. 

If you are a landscape photographer in any capacity, this is a killer lens to add to your collection. I personally am not into street photography though this would be a really killer lens to add to your collection if you are into those ultra wide angles or are shooting in really tight spaces. Tack sharp, killer quality, another unreal lens from the GM collection within Sony's growing line up!

Outstanding For Ariel Helicopter Photos & More!

Wow! This is a fantastic lens and I always have it with me!

Fantastic Lens!

I brought 2 months ago , feel happy and satisfied .

Image

I am very happy with my purchase. Very good wide angle especially for landscape and fireworks. I will try out for more.

Great features!

I used 16-35 Zeiss before, comparing with my new 12-24 GM , GM got a clear and sharp picture, excellent quality, just only more weight , I've already given 16-35 Zeiss to my nephew.

Nice and clear photo

I absolutely adore this lens. It makes it had to look at another wide angle lens the same. 12-24 is perfect before going into the single digits of wide lenses and those get weird. When I go on my photo hikes I love the 12-24 for being able to get everything in the same shot whether it's photo or video. If I had to say one flaw of this is, it's not great for one handed vlogging gets kind of heavy for that.

Greatest wide angle lens ever!!

I have several GM lenses such as 24mm GM 1.4, 35mm GM 1.4 and 70-200mm GM 2.8 II. I also used to have 24-70mm GM 2.8 but I sold that lens last year to buy the mark II version, which I currently preordered. Once the new 24-70mm GM 2.8 II arrives, it would complete the holy trinity of zoom lenses. I contemplated whether to get the 16-35mm GM 2.8 or 12-24mm GM 2.8 but I decided on the wider one because of 3 reasons. First, 12mm is super wide and I did not want to regret down the road wanting wider lens if I had bought the 16-35mm. Second, although 16-35mm GM 2.8 is significantly cheaper than the 12-24mm GM 2.8, 16-35 is pretty old now and it is ready for a mark II version. New 16-35mm needs to have XD linear motors for faster autofocus like the 12-24mm. At the same time I did not want to wait 1-2 more years for Sony to update the lens. Third, I love the look and the feel of the 12-24mm GM 2.8. Spherical front lens element makes adding filter difficult but I actually love the round look of the front glass. I mostly take portraits of children moving around so fast autofocus is important and this lens does just that. At 12mm, distortions are significant so I find myself trying something new to make the portrait work. I actually welcome this challenge because it forces me to be little more creative and the end result looks very different than my other portraits taken with more standard focal lengths. Since this is a zoom lens, 24mm is still available if you don?t want to deal with distortions that occur at 12mm. I sometimes take landscape and architectural photos with this lens also and I love how this camera is able to capture scenes other lenses cannot. Although this is not the best portrait lens, I often find myself putting 12-24mm on my A1 because the pictures look interesting and different. In general lens performs well and it is very sharp. Sharpness does struggle a bit in a low lighting especially when the subject is constantly moving at 12mm with lowest aperture setting possible. Lastly, once you start shooting 12mm, 16 mm will not seem wide enough. I sometimes wish that the lens was even wider than 12mm because I have become used to it.

Most Interesting & Exciting E-Mount Sony Lens

The best lens I ever owned. Very sharp even in the corner of the shot. The flare is beautiful. I use it in photography and also filmmaking.

The best lens I own

Unlike other lenses we have there is no noticeable bending or distortion of the picture with this lens. We were both extremely impressed by that as well as the clarityof picture especially in low light. WOW!

No regrets with this purchase

Amazing ultra-wide lens

Do you like night landscapes? Get this lens

Great for night landscape.

I bought last month.Outcome is good.easy to use.Still learning for more good photos

Good and great body.Easy to handle

The FE 12-24mm f2.8 takes you from wide to extremely wide with a bright constant f2.8 aperture. It?s a lens for those who want the best wide-angle performance 



I have a range of Sony?s premium lenses and I am very impress with Sony?s optics
Extreme wide angle-of-view at 12mm focal length.
Extensive weather sealing plus fluorine coating against moist and dust.
I purchased thus lens for architectural photography and also use it for landscapes

Great wide lens with a bright constant f2.8 apertu

No other better choice for a super wide zoom working at f 2.8 from 12mm to 24mm. It's extremely useful for interior design & architecture shooting. For outdoor and landscape, 16-35 would be a more reasonable option though.

An extraordinay lens

Super sharp really fun lens. I also ordered the rota pola for it and it?s great for a lot of situations

Great lens

I bought the G Master 12-24mm to supplement my 24-70. I now own 4 G Master lenses and this one is by far the best - and my new favorite! Lines are straight and not curved all the way to the edges and photos are super sharp! Auto focus is awesome. Now if they would just give me a new 70-200 and 100-400 to equal this level of quality.

Best lens I've ever had!

I went storm chasing with this lens.  When I compared my pics to my friends pics I captured the whole cloud structure with little distortion -- their pics weren't even close.  Worth the $$$.

Perfect Storm Chasing lens

Love the lens. Super sharp. Great color. Super Fast Focus. Cannot believe. Really need to bring out updated 24-70 & 70-200. They just cannot compete. They are like third party lenses compared to this one.

Wow. Super Sharp. Fast Focus!

Phenomenal sharp ultrawide lens. Expensive, but worth it.

Phenomenal sharp ultrawide lens

Amazing field of view and clear as a bell.

Amazing lens

Love this lens, it's super sharp and it has the best focal length for real estate photography.

Best wide angle lens out there

Great dynamic range and sharpness throughout the wide focal range.

Great dynamic range and sharpness throughout the wide focal range

Real Estate Solution

Using this lens has been a joy. I used a 14mm prime before and it was just not wide enough. My real estate clients love the photos. This lens does a fantastic job in handling the flares when taking photos of the exteriors on a sunny day. This lens is super sharp even wide open at f2.8. The only gripes I have are the price ($3k!) and the distortion at 12mm which I expected with this lens and is correctable in post.

It is a G-master!

Perfect for interior real estate. Also, the best lens for landscape photography.

Great Ultra-wide

This is the nicest wide angle zoom I’ve ever used. Focus is tack sharp.

Best Wide Angle Zoom

First I am only a Hobbyist, Second I went Sony in 2014 with the A7S because I did HDR at the time but in 6 mos I discovered the magic of Milky Way Photography. The wider and faster (f/) everyone craves to have. This Lens is the GOLD Standard for Low Light and Astro Milky Way as well as Ultra Wide Photography landscape. I did several Astro star captures and there is no coma (dove stars) everything near and far "AT Night" is Sharp and in focus. YES Expensive. If just starting there are other lenses that give the same performance to work with that cost less FE 1224 f/4 G and the E 1018 f/4 (works in full frame @12mm to 18mm but a 90 deg FOV @12mm) also the FE 1635 f/4 ZA (very sharp stars). After buying and using many NON Sony lenses after reviews that said THEY were great I found they were NOT. I sold those to buy this one. Six years of Star filled skies my Sony lenses were always the best, I have had many wasted nights with other lenses. Sony knows the limits of lenses, just stay Sony!!

Truly SHARP/CLEAR Day or Night only Sony will make one faster and wider

Best lens I have ever owned. Truly a unicorn of a lens.
