Is the sony fe 24mm f 1 4 gm good for vlogging?

Not really, at least not as the first lens I'd reach for. The 24mm framing is tighter than the wide look most vlogs need. The video guide suggests roughly 16-20mm full-frame equivalent at arm's length, and this lens isn't stabilised, so the frame gets tighter again once a camera crops in for stabilisation. On APS-C it frames like 36mm, which is tighter still.

The f/1.4 aperture is lovely for blurry backgrounds, but a vlog is mostly about being in frame and sharp at arm's length. If you want this lens's look, it's better for portraits and b-roll than for talking to the camera.

For a wider option, the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM zooms wider than the target range. Check its page for camera compatibility. Also read the video guide on sound, since audio usually matters more than the lens.
