Extreme Wide Angle Beast of a Zoom

I purchased the lens for urban photography, for a trip to NYC. It will work for landscapes and interiors as well. I love that the lens is f/4 throughout the 12-24mm zoom range. The lease is tack sharp and because it is a Sony lens, its algorithms match perfectly with my alpha a7R III. A great lens at a fair price.

After 2 years, the lens stop focusing. It shows focus, but everything is blur. I cannot believe the horrible quality of this expensive lens!
An Enthusiast's Lens

It's a mediocre lens, compared to a professional-level lens like the Canon L line with a similar zoom range. If you own a Sony alpha body with E-mount, just get a Canon EF lens and a Sigma adapter and you won't be disappointed. This is only an enthusiast's lens.
A Sony high quality lens

On my first outing, I got some great sunrise photos. I am still learning how to take advantage of the super wide angle perspective of this lens. I chose it over the f/2.8 and am not sorry. The Sony a7r sensor gives a wide latitude for working with low light. I just do not think the extra $1000 is worth the extra F stop of the FE 12-24 F/2.8.
Distorts Like Crazy

This lens is pretty sick but seems horrible for using with people in the shot. It distorts so much, makes people look like bobble head figures and huge legs. I purchased this lens primarily to film skating but its unusable because of the distortion. It doesn't only only distort people of course. Just in general while filming it distorts so much that while moving you can see the motion of the distortion like a wave. pretty bummed.
Absolutely Killer Lens, Shame About The Filter

For ultra wide angle video on the A series bodies, this lens is fantastic! I love the build quality, weight, and handling. Only drawback is no ability to add a circular polarizer.

I've begun to shoot in smaller spaces (museums, exhibits, galleries, etc.) where my 24-70 GM is not wide enough. The 12-24 fills my needs perfectly. The A1 loves it. Sharp and colors pop.
