Sony FE 24-240 mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Zoom Lens

I bought the lens as a walk round do it all lens for my A7rIVA and A7rIIIA bodies and in most cases it fulfils it’s role.

It’s nice to have the slightly wider angle for landscapes and the ability to give that telephoto range for when required., making it extremely versatile.

The zooming action is reassuringly smooth and tight, eliminating lens creep and the size is relatively compact to carry around, but inevitably the lens is quite heavy, but reassuringly sturdy.

Whilst inevitably not quite as sharp as separate 24-70 mm and 70 -200 mm lenses, the difference is only visible when zooming in very close and doesn’t stop me leaving the other 2 zoom lenses in the camera bag when I need to travel relatively light and compactness is required.

Focusing is quick and lock is quick and accurate and stabilisation works well.

The supplied lens hood is reversible for transportation.

I would recommend this lens to anyone wanting a versatile one lens for most situations option

Bought this with a new FX6 camera. First job was to film a cycle race. Very fast auto focus and sharp images. Rock solid workhorse.

had this lense about one month now and find the picture qualitty excelent i have only one complaint it dosent have enough zoom

I had been looking for a super-zoom lens for a while mostly for the convenience of only having to carry the one lens and not having to stop and change lenses. This one is perfect for that. The range it offers is fantastic, plenty wide enough for most landscape shots and able to zoom right in for things in the distance as well. I don’t think there is anything else available for Sony full frame cameras with a wider range. While looking around I read a lot of reviews and was a bit concerned that some of them weren’t impressed with the image quality, but I haven’t found any problems. I do have some prime lenses that are sharper, but I find this one is plenty sharp enough for most normal situations and can even make some pleasant out of focus backgrounds when zoomed in. The auto focus also seems to work quickly and actually making the lens easy to use. The fact that the lens folds down when zoomed out helps to make it easier to carry, though it is a little on the heavy side.

I bought this lens to replace a faulty 28-70mm lens (I dropped it). Although this new one is heavier it means I rarely need to also take my 55-210mm lens with me when I go out as I now have this one lens covering the range of the other two. Even better - when fitted to my A7 it still fits into my shoulder bag.

This lens is perfect for general photography and I'd even happily use it as a back up for my wedding photography.

I wanted a lens that covered a wide focal range, the FE 24-240mm does just that, it’s the right size and weight and compliments my A7 IV body perfectly. The operator is smooth, fast and pin sharp. My first outing was outside shooting at the longest focal range in overcast conditions, this did not phase the lens at all, the photo results have been excellent. This lens is competitively price, and is worth every penny. A great Sony lens.

At this stage in my ownership of this lens I can say in auto mode the pictures are pretty good. I feel they will be better using manual settings but I have not yet tried them, hence a part review.

As I have upgraded to Sony from Canon I needed a travel lens and this fits the bill.

I bought this to give me lens to use when walking. Have also found it great fo weddings, presentations and racing. Saves having to carry several lenses and having to change lenses
