The Sony FE 40mm f\/2.5 G combines the 40mm focal length, familiar from the world of film, with a compact size in a single package that is suitable for a wide range of uses. Whether you\u2019re shooting landscapes, street photography or documentary portraits, the Sony FE 24mm f\/2.8 GM is well suited to the task.<\/p>\n
Classic polttis, but in a well-executed ultra-compact form. The multi-purpose focal length has been superbly corrected optically and sharpness and brightness are top quality.<\/p>\n
The Nano AR II coating is the best technology for the job, plus the optical formula has extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements to correct for things that tend to go wrong in images, such as aberrations, colour fringing, and distortion. The optics have good coatings on the surfaces to remove haze and the contrast is really good. The optics are driven by a linear XD motor that makes focusing fast, accurate and quiet. Weather protection leaves no worries either.<\/p>\n
The Obiska is designed for very high resolutions and the image is sharp from edge to edge. The camera is very sturdy and intuitive to use in both stills and cinema applications. The 40mm compact lens is designed for Sony\u2019s full-frame cameras (though it is, of course, also suitable for APS-C sensors, where the focal length is equivalent to 60mm).<\/p>\n
Aspherical elements eliminate astigmatism (whatever that is), field curvature, coma and distortion.<\/p>\n
The two linear XD motors can be controlled by an AF\/MF switch and a polarised focus ring. There is also a focus hold button where you can of course program other things. The aperture can also be \u201dde-clicked\u201d if you want to adjust the aperture silently.<\/p>\n
Fluorine coating on the front element repels grease and dirt.<\/p>\n
7 sharp rounded dimmer makes background softening quite smooth.<\/p>\n
