I appreciate all the sample images, but at 24mp and a very limited amount of demanding landscape examples, I'm still not convinced.


I don't really understand this comment. What do you consider 'demanding landscapes' ? And they were all shot with the A7RIII

Great samples. I was thinking to get Loxia 21 but this lens seems much more versatile and has AF.

The lens looks reasonably good for astro . Still hoping for a direct comparison with the Loxia 25 in different scenarios. May have to wait until a few more esteemed FMers get their hands on this fast 24.

What are the small green things near the middle? Is the aurora causing flare?


Definitely flare.

Icelandic Leprechauns, of course.

Don't you know anything?

Has anyone seen a side-by-side with the 12-24 zoom at 24mm?

Good stuff. I would love to see some comparisons to the Samyang 24/1.4 for Astro and Nightscape Photography.

Looking at these on my phone it seems the Sony has some similar coma and stretched stars (astigmatism?) In the corners.

I have neither but I was under the impression that the Lox21 was the golden horse (is that an expression..?) Anyway,I thought it was everyone's favorite & simply amazing for landscapes. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Thinking of trading my Zeiss Loxia 21 F2.8 AND Batis 25 F2 lenses for this lens. Is that sensible? Anyone think of any counterarguments?

size, weight, focal length, and sunstars, the loxia advantage. That 2 stop advantage for only 100g penalty on the GM...... that's too hard to overlook, I'de get the 24 and simply build my kit around that

The 50/1.4 really delivers lovely images,with little editing needed. Warm,soft and tack sharp at the same time. Like a Leica but warmer. Love it.
