What is the sony fe 12 24mm f 2 8 gm good for?

The Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM is a wide zoom for full-frame Sony E cameras, and it's at its best where you want to fit a lot in. On full frame it covers 12 to 24mm, which suits big skies, strong foregrounds and tight spaces. As I say on the landscape guide, a wide zoom is the classic landscape lens.

The constant f/2.8 is more than most landscapes need, since you'll usually stop down to f/8 or f/11 anyway. It does help in dim interiors and at dusk. It isn't stabilised, so a tripod is worth having when the light drops. On an APS-C body it frames like 18-36mm, and the wide end still works well there.

If you want to know how the aperture translates between sensor sizes, the focal length converter walks through it.
