Review on Sony E-mount FE 24mm F1.4 GM: Full Frame Wide-angle Prime Lens (SEL24F14GM), Black - Superior Quality and Versatile Photography by Jessica Morris

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expensive but great lens. query?

5/26. exclaimed Revain on 05/24. to: They said they got the lens back. My app still reports this on the go. It may take up to "2 weeks" once they receive the item to refund my payment. 1/3 of this payment was made with Revain Gift Points. I'm really starting to doubt these big purchases from them. Raven called today. First they said they received the lens I sent them a week ago. They show where it was sent to. But it looks like they can't find him a week later. It cost over $1300 but "Revain can't find it" Update June 24th: Returned this lens to Revain over a week ago. Haven't received it yet, it's starting to make me really nervous giving away lenses (or big ticket items) when it takes a week to return! There will be news! The IQ of this lens is, well, okay. For landscapes and other shots, this lens is just perfect. The bokeh is great thanks to the beautiful round bokeh spheres. I noticed some slight vignetting at f16 in the top left corner that was really impossible to fix in LR. (this may just be my copy) But for shooting with a7riv and a1 I just didn't find that focal length that I liked nearly as much as I hoped. Although mine is back I would still recommend this lens to anyone who knew they wanted to shoot in normal mode in such a wide angle shot. I'm much more interested in wildlife, macro photography and portraits. The smallest I shoot is 35 for fixes. I have a 28-70 Gmaster if I need to increase the width. These are of course all my personal preferences. For me, this lens has made a comeback. And as usual, Revane allowed the return without exception.

Pros
