this lens is what I am looking for and just arrived before I left for Canada

Works great as a walk around lens and takes stunning photos

i bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it.

This Len used with a7riii Sony works very well together

This lense is alright I think I could have gotten something better for the purchase.

Not a professional but, I feel like one. Great choice for the money a lot of value. The only lense I need.

Good performance, covered most popular use cases. We got an open box unit. It is a very good deal.

I'm not too sure what the previous reviewers were thinking. One complained about the price and also about the weight, when in fact this lens is among the lightest in its class. The other complained about this lens not stacking up to a specialty lens, well.... duh. Those reviews are head scratchers too me. This lens has turned into my go-to lens. The focal length range of 24mm to 105mm covers almost any situation I've been in, and will cover the needs of most amateur, enthusiast, and prosumer shooters out there too. Okay, yes I'm not getting the "Ultra Wide" shots, or the "Super Zoom" in shots, but for 90% of the day-to-day shooting I run into, this lens covers it gloriously. Also, given the range is in the "Sweet Spot" of photography, traveling with only one lens is a major plus. It gets a 5/5 for versatility. Being part of the Sony "G" (Gold) series lenses, you'd expect a high quality build, and sharp images and this lens does not disappoint. It has great sharpness thru the focal range and the auto focusing has impressed me. It gets a 5/5 for Image Quality. One reviewer, as previously mentioned, knocked this lens for being "Heavy". This lens is 1.46 pounds. Look at comparable lenses in its class.... Canon 24-105mm is 1.75 pounds, and Sigma 24-105mm is 1.95 pounds.... There is a reason why Sony has pushed this lens as a "Lightweight" lens. Honestly, for size and weight, the numbers don't lie. I give it a 5/5 for Size and Weight. This lens has an f/4 aperture throughout the focal range. Some people may take issue with this for reasons such as depth of field. Honestly, this starts coming down to preference of how you are going to use the lens. Rating this on personal preference is wrong and I won't do that. But I will say that Sony's recent cameras have such great ISO game that any slack here can be picked up by ISO. I review this lens keeping one critical thing in mind.... Performance vs Price. We are not reviewing a GM series lens. Yes, the GM series lenses are going to be better, but... at nearly twice the price. Value now comes into play. One of the reviewers knocked this lens for the price point. Instead of looking at the price, lets take a look at the "VALUE". The quality you are getting from the photos this lens takes can rival the higher end lens series. The quality is clearly superior to a lens from a cheaper price point. You ever hear "you get what you pay for"? It applies here too. You are paying for one heck of a lens and the "Value" return is worth it. You'll be happy, I know I am. For "Value I give this lens 5/5. I personally LOVE this lens. It's my Go-To lens. I can easily give this lens a Overall 5/5.

expected more from this lens. seems like they are also waiting for a good mirrorless camera to come along

It’s an amazing lens for my special foto sessions. Would highly recommend it.

Really nice lens for many functions Clarity is fine and it is versatile

Great lens! I highly recommend this one as a good overall starter lens.

This Sony 24-105 mm F4 is great lens for travel,I love it.
