Combining a wide-angle perspective with a fast maximum aperture, this 24mm f/1.8 AF Compact Autofocus Lens from Samyang is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 36mm equivalent focal length when used on an APS-C camera body. Two extra-low dispersion elements, three high refractive index elements, and two aspherical elements are incorporated into the lens construction to help to control aberrations and distortions for increased clarity and sharpness. Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to all lens elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and enables greater control over depth of field and focus placement. The Linear STM autofocus motor provides fast, quiet focus, and the lens barrel incorporates a custom function switch and a focus hold button for optimal focus control. The nine-blade diaphragm to produce a quality of bokeh.
This 24mm f/1.8 lens is designed for full-frame format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 36mm equivalent focal length when used on APS-C-format cameras. Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture is ideal for working in low-light conditions and offers greater control over depth of field and focus position for selective focus applications. Two extra-low dispersion elements, two aspherical elements, and three high refractive index elements are incorporated within the lens design and help to control chromatic aberrations as well as reduce color fringing for sharper, clearer imagery. An Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to all lens elements to suppress lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy. The Linear STM autofocus motor and internal focus design maintains the overall length of the lens during use. A non-rotating 58mm front filter mount enables the use of polarizing, graduated ND, and other filter types that require precise positioning. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when using selective focus or shallow depth of field techniques. UPC: 084438767223

I bought this lens to start taking pictures of the milky-way and it didn’t disappoint! The auto infinity focus button makes it so easy to focus on the night sky!

tested them all
By Nick Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-12-21
I tested the Sony GM and the Sigma. This lens out performed them all in sharpness. I also like the ability to pre focus on infinity for astrophotography.
Good Value Sharp Lens
By Brian Rated 4 out of 5 Date: 2021-12-16
So far lens is plenty sharp. AF on my a7iii is quick and accurate. Eye detect AF struggles to detect eyes in wide-af mode but it’s a 24mm lens so that is excusable. Eye is sharp when found.
Sharp and light
By Steve Rated 4 out of 5 Date: 2021-11-17
It’s small, light and sharp for 4k video and gimbal work. The little clam shell case is great too- compact and sturdy. Focus is quite good with a73 and a7s3.

Have been quite impressed by this little lens by the sharpness and focus in lowlight shots.
Worth every penny!
By Francisco Rated 4 out of 5 Date: 2022-01-25
I’m new to astrophotography. I normally do surfing photography and since I’m close to the Space Coast in Florida, I wanted something good to start in astrophotography while saving some money. After a few reviews decided to get it here at which had the best price. I have taken some perfect shot of the stars in night with moonlight which isn’t the best to do this. Don’t hesitate. If is budget and quality, this lens gets you more for less.
