About this deal

This is a dumb comparison, since the best lens to use is the one that fits your camera. Don't waste time with adapters since all they do is mess things up. For Sony, use this Sony lens. Can't really say anything bad about this lens. I'm used to manual focus lenses, or little micro four-thirds cameras, so it seems big to me, but this lens is full-format, and with all those gears and motors inside for stability and focusing, that's understandable. And it takes a large, telephoto-sized filter, but 77mm is not crazy-big and at least the lens doesn't require some oddball internal filter. So even those factors are okay. For ultra-critical uses you can correct the tiny amount of residual distortion with these values in Photoshop's

I don't know how much correction was done in the camera, but CA is nil. And I didn't see any noticeable barrel or pincushion distortion. However, when carry-on restrictions become an issue when traveling, then having two cameras becomes less palatable. Not Waterproof; Only Moisture- and Dust-Resistant The Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS lens has two switches on the barrel, one to switch between autofocus and manual focus, and another to enable or disable Optical Steady Shot image stabilization. Concerning manual focus, the focus ring feels pretty loose. Overall, I didn't find the manual focusing experience especially good, but it's also far from bad. I mostly focus manually for night sky photography, and the F4 zoom lens isn't well-suited to this task, so I rarely used MF anyway. The lens also includes a customizable function button between the two rings. By default, it's a focus hold button, which is useful. Since this lens didn’t compromise on image quality, image stability, and shooting speed (among its other attributes), I use a two-camera solution if I can get away with it. Nevertheless, I haven’t noticed such distortions nearly as many image distortions caused by the Sony SEL24105G compared to the Sony SEL24240 lens (my other lens that had a better zoom range).At 105mm, the lens' longest focal length, performance continues to impress. If you don't require an F2.8 max aperture, the greater zooming capabilities of the FE 24-105mm F4 are a big reason why a photographer may opt for it over Sony's fantastic 24-70mm F2.8 GM and GM II pro zooms. Of course, price is also a factor, but I think the extra 35mm at the long end is very nice. These aren't facts or specifications, they are the results of my research that requires hours of photography and calculations on the resulting data. Further adding to its versatility, the new standard zoom lens also features a customizable focus hold button, a dust and moisture resistant design 2 and a fluorine coating on the front element to help minimize dust, water, oil and other contaminants. Something that I’ve been quite aware of regarding superzoom lenses like the Sony SEL24240 lens as well as my old Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM lens is the minimum distance to shoot. Indeed, it’s nice to have this capability without feeling like I need to burden myself with the weight, bulk, and time-to-setup involved with bringing a tripod to steady the camera while shooting. Low Minimum Distance For Autofocus To Work

the new Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS is capable of filling that gap. If you like, it is a member of Sony's G lineup - or "semi-pro" grade. It adds some extra

Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS SEL24105G User Reviews

Other than that, I haven’t really done enough image postprocessing in Lightroom to warrant a strong opinion on this, and so I’ll trust the experts on this particular issue. Fast Shooting Speed Again, I have no idea why some people get excited about lenses that only go to 70mm; 105mm is far more useful. For less money, the B+W 77mm 010 is an excellent filter, as is the multicoated version and the basic multicoated Hoya filters or the 77mm Nikon Clear (NC - UV), but the Hoya HD3 is the toughest and the best. The lens also has Sony's original Nano AR coating to minimize flare and ghosting, and utilizes a circular aperture to ensure it delivers high quality bokeh that is consistent for all Sony's G series.

In fact, while out on our travels, I had the ability to take photos of our food when at a restaurant without needing to get up out of my seat to create enough separation between myself and the food. In other words, I’ve found it difficult to focus on my subject at close range (especially for close-up macro photos) when using the long telephoto lenses.After stopping down to F5.6, corner performance improves. Center performance is a bit better, too, although the difference is less noticeable than the improvement in the corners. The Sony SEL24105G FE 24-105mm f/4 OSS G Lens mated with our Sony Alpha 7 III mirrorless full-frame camera bodyIts E-mount frame means that it mates with our Sony Alpha 7 III Mirrorless Camera body or any other Sony camera body with this mounting frame or compatibility. The lens does, obviously, feature an image stabilizer (OSS). We haven't found any official figures about its efficiency, but we'd rate it Ryan and the snowman he made at his school Christmas party, 12:13 P.M., 21 December 2017.

The lens by itself weighs 1 pound and 10.9 ounces with the lens hood attached, and together with the Sony Alpha 7 III body, it weighs 3 pounds 6 ounces.

The Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS is ultra sharp, much sharper than the dinky ZEISS FE 24-70mm f/4 OSS at 24mm in the corners and sharper than the ZEISS 16-35mm from 24~35mm. We may safely forget those old Zeiss lenses from earlier this decade. So I’d have to live with the limited zoom if my travel situation doesn’t allow for that second camera. Therefore, the Sony SEL24105G lens has been my go to lens as it’s pretty much almost always attached to my Sony Alpha 7 III full-frame mirrorless camera body. range over the 24-70mm f/2.8 GM and gives up an f-stop. For many users, that's probably a sweet spot in this segment and at around 1300 USD/EUR, it's at least not painfully expensive by today's pricing standards (...).

The 24-240mm OSS is a less expensive, lighter-duty lens that weighs a little more, and has over double the zoom range. Unfortunately, I’ve had the misfortune of dunking my Sony Alpha 7 III body with the Sony SEL24105G lens in water. The scene of the crime, so to speak, where the Sony camera was dunked in water Regardless, there is no one lens that does everything well, but the Sony SEL24105G comes the closest in my experience with Sony cameras, which I think exceeds my experiences with the Canon EOS cameras and lenses that I’ve used. Avoid polarizers at the 24mm setting with any lens; the sky's natural polarization may appear as a dark band across the sky. I'd forget about the f/2.8, unless you are the sort of guy who likes to flaunt his fancy lenses more than he likes to show off great photos. The 2.8 might be a hair sharper in the corners at 2.8 in the lab, but the real-world photos of the 24-105 are at least as good when you add stabilization and the better zoom range.
