  • Fred Miranda Comparison with other ultra wide lenses
    Image quality comparison with Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 III, Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA and Loxia 21mm f/2.8. The Sony 12-24 The 12-24/4 is very flat field with incredible resolution.
  • Jim Kasson blog
    The Sony images are quite lovely for a zoom lens. Actually, they are lovely for any lens.
  • The Digital Picture
    It is a stand-out range of ultra-wide-angle of views [...] Aside from the extreme full-frame corners at the focal length range maximum extents, this lens delivers very sharp images, especially when stopped down modestly to gain improved peripheral performance. [...] Geometric distortion levels are strong at the widest and longest zoom settings but this lens performed especially well in most of the remaining tests.
  • Ken Rockwell
    This is the one and only ultra-ultrawide for full-frame Sony cameras, and it's fantastic. If you shoot interiors or need a lens for extreme special effects, this is an optically superb lens at a bargain price. You'll pay double for Nikon or Canon's equivalents, neither of which will work as well on your Sony camera.
  • OpticalLimits 8.3/10
    You will notice how small it is compared to similar (DSLR-)offerings. It's even more obvious in term of weight [...] Now you may expect that this comes with a couple of compromises but there are actually only a few. The resolution characteristic is very decent. It's already pretty good at f/4 (except at 24mm) and quite impressive between f/5.6 and f/8. At the wide end, you should avoid f/11 though. The quality is unusually harmonious across the focal length range.
