The images in this thread are really great and they have confirmed my decision to make the 24/1.4GM my main travel lens instead of the safe 24-105. It provides much more creative options then the 24mm @ F4.0 on the zoom, while also removing the temptation to constantly zoom about. When I survey my past trips, most of the photos were taken at the 24mm or 105mm, with very few in the middle.
This lens on the new a7RIV will allow for some excellent cropping options as well as the APS-c mode. I'm thinking of pairing the 24 with the 135/1.8GM for the telephoto shots. I think between these two lenses the images I will capture will be far more impressive and creative.
Of course, I will probably have the zoom on hand as a backup option, as well as a 100-400 for the long distance shots from the ship.
I’ve had mine for a while now. I find it hard to believe that this lens is still put on a waiting list for those who want one. Here’s some of my photos from a recent trip to Florida. It’s a great little lens!
It's an amazing lens, and I use it often. I never liked using "wide" lenses before but this lens has changed my point of view. Funny thing is when I went in the store I wasn't looking at buying that lens, I did not even know about it! They happened to have one (back in November) I tried it and instantly fell in love with it.
A panorama of 5 portrait-oriented shots with the 24 GM, stitched in Affinity Photo. No need for a dedicated UWA for these type shots which I do like 10x max a year. Lake Uri, Switzerland, beginning of snow melt season this year.

A few images from a couple recent weddings with this lens. Love it! One observation I've had - I had always figured 24 would be too wide for candid but I actually really like it for that purpose and find that I am leaning 24 over 35. More so for family stuff but here and there for weddings as well.
This was my neighbor's tribute to those that died on September 11th and subsequent to that day.
He was in the military and stationed in the Middle East when the towers and Pentagon were hit and the words "let's roll" became the call to action. He retired and became a fireman and now is retired from the department.
