I find the 1.8 / 24 mm is often used times wrong - it is a highly fast aperture wide-angle reportage for every day and for special light and is characterized by a particular color and image reproduction rather than through bone-dry sharpness.
A lens for landscape and architecture, it is not - it also Nex cameras are not made!
Some test results that prove his lack of resolution I can not understand - for me one of the comparison.
About the price is much grumbling, wrongly in my opinion. It can not be compared with high-telephoto lenses for 300, since the construction is in WW-area are more difficult, especially with this light intensity. Measured by more than 3 times as expensive, but mechanically much aufwenigeren and compact Leica - it is even very inexpensive.
For the Nex there are no better lens. I use it together with the 1.8 / 50 mm and the Tamron 18-200mm VC - with whom I am very satisfied.
I'm curious how long the smooth version remains scratch-free.
