Summary

The Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 G Master is incredible for Astrophotography. Available from B&H https://goo.gl/HjL1Kc This weekend I was invited to Sedona, AZ for a Sony trip to use the 24mm f/1.4 gm to shoot the night sky. This lens is absolutely incredible - I've had the chance to use it before, but not in an astrophotography setting. I compared the Sony 24mm against the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Art and the Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 We were joined by Stan Moniz and José Francisco Salgado - be sure to check out their work! Stan Moniz https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthsmh56Kag8qnslXD4vd6g José Francisco Salgado http://josefrancisco.org/ What I love about the Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master • Excellent low-light performance • beautiful depth of field • almost no sagittal coma flare • very low chromatic abberation even wide open • light weight • fast auto-focus • reasonable price point - performs better than lenses 5 times as expesive Check out my other videos: • Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW-xRCrZXIc • Why Sony is Killing It Right Now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hYMgDT_iAI • How Good Are Sony Lenses? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLJQG_pU3J4 • Sony 400mm f/2.8 G Master https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pix0A5TGn8 Music is from Epidemic Sound.

There was no financial compensation and the opinions here are my own.
