FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS Standard Zoom Lens for Sony E-mount Cameras - Black

The Sony 24-105mm f/4 G OSS has become my go-to everyday lens. The zoom range is perfect — wide enough for landscapes and tight enough for portraits without ever needing to switch lenses. Image quality is consistently sharp, colors pop, and autofocus is fast and reliable. The OSS stabilization really helps in low light or handheld shots. It’s not the lightest lens, but the versatility completely makes up for it. A true all-round workhorse for travel, family photos, and daily shooting.

It has a wonderful auto focus and feels worth the price. It comes with the lens hood and a carrying bag. It gives me the extra little distance I need. I’ve used it on my Sony a7iii and while I’m still learning, it took my photography to the next level. It’s a good upgrade if you’re ready to rid the stock lens - if you want something ‘bigger’ or ‘better’ this isn’t the one for you. If you love the stock lens but want a little more distance and sharper quality, this is the one for you.

I have never spent over a $1000 on a lens until now. As long as I’m already spending the money on a superb camera, Sony a7iii, it didn’t make any sense to buy a mediocre lens for. After some considerable reviews, I decided on this Sony 24-105mm OSS as my first lens with a high probability that it remains as my primary lens down the road. My first impression was that this lens was HUGE. As with any camera lens, I strongly advised purchasing a UV filter. The filter size for lens is 72mm, considerably larger then my old Canon lens filter. It felt like it weighed more than the camera body. The larger the lens, e more photons it can pick up. The better the lens quality, the sharper the image. Together, it makes a superb lens. So far I used this lens to take photos of my daughter soccer games while sitting high up in the bleachers, taking photos of family activities, group photos, everyday street activities, macro shots of dragon flies and flowers. photos taken indoors without flash, and outdoors under various lighting conditions, Photos of my daughter soccer games after cropping to zoom in on the subjects looked surprisingly sharp. I can honestly say that all of the photos I’ve taken so far have been very impressive. I attributed that to the camera and the lens. The OSS Keep the image steady even under low lighting. There are times when taking photos with a flash is prohibited or not optimal, the stabilization feature on this lens is the best I’ve seen so far. Professional reviewers said as much and I can see why. I still rely on my tripod for long exposure shooting. Can’t see myself holding the camera on a subject for when doing long exposure such as that of the night landscape. Do I recommend the lens. The answer is YES, YES, and YES. Is it worth the money? The answer again is a resounding yes. Do I think the lens is expensive? I do. It is definitely not cheap. There are other lens companies such as Tamron that also make good lenses that can potentially be cheaper than this Sony lens. I however chose this over all others because of the overwhelming I read about it. Another thing to consider is that not all lenses are suited for every shooting situations. You have to think about what you primary use it for then pick a lens that best suited for it.
