Pros

Photo of an fm station's transmitting antenna, is cropped from one shot 500 feet away, using this lens on a sony a7r camera. Image stabilization is a big plus, especially for video.

Image quality is spectacular and ultra sharp at all focal lengths. Manageable chromatic aberration.

The lens is also very snappy with lightning fast autofocus. Focussing on them is super-fast and reliable. Focus is silent and smooth.

The lens delivers impressive image quality that is only rivaled by the much heavier and more expensive sony 24-70mm f/2. The lens and camera both replace a much-loved canon 5d mark iii and a zoom lens with identical specs. Next for me a nifty 50 or a ...  Read More

The 24-105 is light enough to carry all day. It eliminates the need to carry around multiple lenses. The lens is not too heavy, feels well balanced in the hand so it’s comfortable to use on road trips or hiking. The zoom range is perfect for my type o...  Read More



Cons

The lens has a great focal length range, but anything in the periphery is terrible. It is ridiculously bad at shorter focus distances, say 1 meter or less. Put it on my camera and tried to zoom, this lens is a joke.

Quality


One of most well built and sharp lens i’ve ever owned.


A solid all-rounder with clean, crisp sharpness all the way through the zoom range, solid af performance, and a fantastic build quality.


The lens is also very snappy with lightning fast autofocus, the focus is fast even in low light situations.


However, all of the moving images i have taken have missed the mark 90% of the time, mostly focussing on the wrong spot (inaccu...  Read More

Price


Hope this helps, it's worth every penny compared to a $2400 f2.


8 gm for both cost and comfort.


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.

Packaging/appearance


I've shot it (with fill) into the setting sun at a wedding and it captured the bride's soft hair and dress details beyond expec...  Read More

Competitiveness


The lens delivers impressive image quality that is only rivaled by the much heavier and more expensive sony 24-70mm f/2.


I also shoot with canon and i like this so much more than my canon 24-105 rf.


There are other lens companies such as tamron that also make good lenses that can potentially be cheaper than this sony lens.


Used it to death until we picked up the a7c (and yes, the d90 still produced superb images that rivaled the best smart phones in 2021).
