For a broader worldview
This ultra-wide-angle zoom from Sony is perfect for capturing sprawling landscapes, along with architecture and interior shots. With a minimum focus distance of eleven inches, you can also use it for beautiful close-ups with spacious backgrounds. A constant f/4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range ensures your images will be consistently well-exposed by allowing you to change focal lengths without having to adjust exposure settings once you've gotten them dialed in.
This ultra-wide-angle lens captures expansive scenes with outstanding resolution and clarity.
Great photos indoors or out
While this lens's light-gathering ability makes it well-suited for indoor shooting, its rugged construction lends itself nicely to outdoor photography in just about any conditions. If you're out shooting on the beach and the wind starts kicking up sand, you won't have to worry — the dust- and moisture-resistant design means you can keep shooting even when the weather gets dicey.

Features
Overview: The Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G Master lens is a full frame (35mm) ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that is ideal for landscape and cityscape photography, as well as architecture and other wide-angle subjects. G Master lenses feature the most advanced optical technology to achieve spectacular resolution. The SEL1224G has a 7-blade circular aperture for beautiful bokeh (blurred background elements). The lens comes with front and rear lens caps, an integrated lens hood, and a soft storage case with a drawstring closure.
Compatibility: The SEL1224G has a Sony E-mount, and is compatible with α-series Interchangeable Lens Cameras with the E-mount. It is designed for cameras with full frame (35mm) image sensors, but will work with cameras with an APS-C image sensor. The full frame equivalent focal range for APS-C cameras is 18-36mm.
Lens Elements: The SEL1224G has 17 lens elements in 11 groups, including three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one Super ED glass element to minimize chromatic aberration. Sony's original Nano AR Coating suppresses spurious reflections that cause flare and ghosting.
Focusing System: The lens features an advanced inner-focus mechanism with a Direct Drive Super Sonic-wave Motor (DDSSM). The focusing system quickly and accurately positions the large focusing elements inside the lens to give you precise and fast auto focusing.
Controls: The FE 12-24mm lens has two controls on the lens barrel: a focus hold button and an AF/MF switch. The focus hold button is customizable, and can be assigned other functions if needed. The AF/MF switch lets you switch between Auto Focusing and Manual Focusing.
Integrated Lens Hood: The SEL1224G has a built-in lens hood for blocking incidental light that may cause flare and ghosting to maintain optimum clarity and contrast. The supplied lens cap slips over the integrated lens hood.
