Excellent Travel Lens
SEL24105G 07 June 2018 by Richard_S (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
The 24-105 f4 provides both a wide-angle view, to capture grand buildings inside and out, and telephoto reach, to compose portraits and pick out either built or natural landscape details, in one lens. Generally good lenses avoid the transition from truely-wide to usefully long like 24-70s which hardly go beyond normal. Lower quality lenses often offer great range but at a compromise - usually getting soft at the longer focal lengths. To get a decent picture with them means stopping down making the lens useless for isolating the foreground. If you want extreme separation in your headshots this is not the lens, but for contextual portraits where the face is pulled out from the background yet where the background is still recognisable; it is perfect. Every focal length is razor-cut sharp meaning your interiors, landscapes and portraits will all look top-notch. The sharpness at large apertures delivers great separation when you want it. At 24mm it goes just about as wide as you can without needing to use special care over composition. It feels heavy, because the camera and lens together seem physically small, but I have felt no hint of fatigue. A pair of primes would not be much lighter or indeed sharper but would necessitate regular changing. Physically this lens looks smart but not impressive - I think manufacturers who add a coloured ring know what they are doing because an optic like this is not cheap. The zoom takes some effort but is smooth. Vibration is wonderfully damped by the stabilisation although whether I should thank the lens or camera is hard to say. Controls all work fine - though I don't regularly focus manually. Before I bought this, I thought I would suffer the occasional frustration of not having wider or longer reach but to my surprise I rarely do. Maybe I step forward and back a little more without thinking. As I said in the title, this is an absolutely excellent travel lens, a keep-on-your-camera-all-day optic. It is also a superb social lens - for snapping parties and gatherings yet coming home with the most fantastic pictures. I use this lens on an A7 III.

Auto focus died after 3 years
SEL24105G 13 May 2021 by Tinkham (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
If you are considering buying this lens, think again. Many people have had problems with the auto focus dying. Now this happened to me. The lens is useless for my needs.

I've had this lens now for about 3 weeks, and mostly the UK weather has prevented me from using it. From my experience, (EX PRO), it seems so far to be good, and worth the money. I expect to get better results than this too, as soon as I get the chance.

SEL24105G 08 August 2024 by Quoicher (United Kingdom)
I bought the A7 IV Camera and was looking for a lens that would cover a broad zoom range to prevent carrying multiple lenses. This Lens fits the bill perfectly. It is perfect for the landscape photos that I tend to take. It’s well balanced on the camera and is neither too bulky or heavy.

An Excellent First Lens For those new to Sony
SEL24105G 19 June 2024 by Priestoe (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
This a logical, economical first step into the world of Sony mirrorless. The focal length is perfect for a “walking around” lens. It’s got the sharpness to produce very acceptable results without the cost of GM lenes.

The lens is pretty heavy, autofocus isn't as fast as I thought it would be. Saying that when you do nail focus the pictures are incredible. Pretty much sharp corner to corner apart from when zooming in edges can soften but center is sharp.

Bought this as I wanted a lens with a bit more reach than the 24-70 (I had the 18-135 APSC lens before) and thought this was a good balance of size, cost and range. Very happy with this lens as it is sharper than my old lens and brighter than it too, without breaking the bank

Sony FE 24-105 F4 G Perfect Travel Lens
SEL24105G 03 February 2024 by Connecticut Old Man (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
The Sony FE 24-105 f4 G Lerns is the perfect companion for my Sony a7r iv. Excellent focal range. And when needed, a higher ISO eliminates the need for an aperture wider than F4. For travel or street photography, it's the only lens you need.

I had a kit lens and upgraded to the SEL24105G OSS. What a difference in clarity, sharpness, and just a great range for carry around daily. Took it to Grand Canyon and Arches National Park this spring. I could not be more pleased with the performance. Weight is good, zoom is smooth and with just enough resistance, and manual focus is spot on!

Super sharp lens
SEL24105G 17 November 2023 by PaulBB (United Kingdom)
Purchased as a first lens to go with my A7iv and what a lens. Super sharp right out to the corners at all apertures. It is a bit slow at F4 but still manageable to hold at 1/20th shutter due to the camera and lens built in stabilisation. Quite pricey for a F4 lens, but you are buying sony quality with a range of 24-105mm its a great all purpose lens which rarely comes off my camera.

SEL24105G 19 September 2023 by Purple guy (United Kingdom)
As I had recently switched to Sony from Fujifilm I did not have the budget to replace all my lenses. So, I needed a zoom lens that covered most of my needs. This was by far the best option for me, yes I would love it to be faster but for portraits in a studio and on occasion at a location, F4 is sufficient. The detail is sharp for an older lens and the zoom range is pretty good, not too wide on the low end and not too much on the telephoto end. It's well constructed, has decent stabilization, smooth focus/zoom ring, AF is snappy and is not too heavy. It's a lens that I may keep around for quite some time as I love the images I have been able to capture with it.

Great lens and sharp images
SEL24105G 19 August 2023 by ecprior (United Kingdom)
I bought this lens with the A7IV camera body having moved from Fujifilm. I never felt that the images from the Fujifilm 16-80 were really sharp, a bit soft, but the images from this lens are really sharp through the focal length. This lens gives me the same focal length that I had but it's in a different league and am really pleased with the images. Would have liked it to be lighter but it feels really balanced on the camera. Will be a great travel lens for my next holiday as I am only taking 1 lens and body, so ideal combination.

SEL24105G 14 May 2023 by Xweini (United Kingdom)
Have been a photographer for over 50 years and Sony Alpha convert for 11. I was let down with delivery of 24-70 GM and bought this instead. I was taking photos at my son's wedding with a bagful of lenses and didn't take it off the body. It has a perfect range of zoom, takes crystal sharp images and is small and balanced with the A1. I'm beginning to think now that with the image quality at higher ISO, the benefit of F2.8 vs F4 is almost non-existent with an appreciable weight disadvantage. The quality of build of this G lens is identical to the GMs I have. I cannot praise it more highly

SEL24105G SYX 13 May 2023 by Alex Koh (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
Great and versatile lens for any situation by far. Using it on a6400 and a7m4, truly made the photography experience up another notch. Fast auto focus and manual focus ring is quick with good sensitivity and it has quite a short stroke for a long focal length. A lot lighter than Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN Art which is quite surprising with shorter focal length. Will be amazing if it can be like 200-600 G OSS inner zoom!

I have been trying for nearly three weeks to get the £200 cashback for this Sony lens bought from John Lewis. Even John Lewis Tech team have been unable to get my cashback, all five claims I and John Lewis have made so far been denied, with no other reason that information is missing, what information neither I or John Lewis Know. This is Why I will never purchase a Sony product again.

Brilliant lens that covers most needs
SEL24105G 09 December 2022 by Saltford photographer PH (United Kingdom)
I bought this lens as I wanted one zoom lens that has prime lens level of IQ (it just about does), covers 24mm to 105mm for many uses (portrait, landscape, reportage, street, travel, family photography) yet is relatively compact and not too heavy. This fits the bill, is a joy and is easy to use and f4 as fastest aperture covers most needs whulst a faster lens would be bulkier and heavier. One suggestion for Sony - when updating this lens, please give it an aperture ring to complete the ease and speed of use for aperture priority photographers. All in all a brilliant lens.

SEL24105G 26 July 2022 by Tommy1956 (United Kingdom)
I had several prime lenses, most of which I had stopped using so I traded them all in and bought this. I am just a hobby photographer and I have found my photography has improved since using this lens which covers much of what I shoot without the inconvenience of changing lenses. I have given it 5 stars but I would recommend reading up the professional reviews. I have no doubts that Sony have better zoom lenses if you go to GM so my review is also based on cost.
