Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G Lens
Ultra-Compact Wide-Angle Prime for Sony E-Mount – Wide 24mm Perspective, Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture, Dual Linear AF Motors with Linear Response MF, Clicked/De-Clickable Physical Aperture Ring, Advanced G-Series Optical Design (3 Aspherical & 1 ED Element), Customizable Focus Hold Button & AF/MF Switch, Dust- and Moisture-Resistant Aluminum Construction, Protective Fluorine Front Coating, Standard 49mm Filter Thread, Includes Front & Rear Caps and Dedicated Metal Lens Hood (Good Condition)

The Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G is a premium, ultra-compact wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras (also fully compatible with APS-C bodies, providing a 36mm equivalent field of view). Part of Sony’s matched trio of compact G-series primes, it pairs high-resolution optical performance with a portable pancake-style form factor measuring just 1.8 inches long. Delivering an expansive 84° angle of view, it is an ideal companion for street documentary, dramatic landscapes, architecture, environmental portraiture, and lightweight gimbal video setups.

The optical formula utilizes eight elements in seven groups, incorporating three precision aspherical elements and one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element to suppress spherical aberrations, field curvature, and color fringing, ensuring corner-to-corner clarity on high-megapixel sensors. The front element features a protective fluorine coating to repel oil, water, and smudges. Driven by dual linear autofocus motors, the internal focusing system delivers fast, quiet, and precise subject tracking with Linear Response manual focus control and a close 7.1-inch minimum focusing distance in manual focus mode. Engineered for both still and cinema workflows, the rugged aluminum alloy barrel features a tactile manual aperture ring that can be de-clicked for silent, stepless iris adjustments, a customizable focus hold button, an AF/MF toggle switch, comprehensive dust- and moisture-resistant weather sealing, and a shared 49mm front filter thread.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: COMPLETE COMPACT PRIME OUTFIT. Supplied with the Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G lens, original front snap-on lens cap, rear bayonet dust cap, and authentic Sony matching metal bayonet lens hood.

Exterior & Physical Status: GOOD CONDITION. The anodized black aluminum barrel, knurled manual focus and aperture rings, de-click switch, focus hold button, and metal Sony E-mount bayonet show moderate cosmetic signs of regular field handling (such as light surface finish rubbing or small cosmetic marks on the metal exterior and hood edge). All engraved focal length and aperture markings remain sharp and legible.

Optical Status: GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION. Front and rear exterior optical glass surfaces are clean and free of deep scratches, gouges, haze, or fungus. The internal optical path shows typical light, superficial dust specks consistent with normal use, which have no negative impact on contrast, sharpness, or overall image quality.

Mechanical & Electronic Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The dual linear autofocus motors lock swiftly, silently, and accurately; the physical aperture ring turns with positive click detents and de-clicks cleanly into stepless mode; the Linear Response manual focus ring rotates smoothly; the focus hold button and AF/MF switch respond instantly; the circular 7-blade diaphragm actuates reliably across all f-stops; electronic contacts maintain communication with Sony E-mount camera bodies.
