FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens for Sony E
Product details
Web ID: 18802451Great versatility
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

My all around workhorse.
I bought this lens as an all around upgrade for my kit lens on a A6000. Fast forward a few years, this lens is my all around workhorse. Wide enough for landscape, crisp for portraits, and great clarity for those must capture moments from across the room at events. It’s now married to an A7rIII and for the price, I couldn’t be happier with this setup.

Rock solid lens.
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.

Excellent zoom range
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.

Handy lens but a little dated.
Bought secondhand as an ideal travel lens. A reasonable size, not too heavy and good feel on an A7RV body. I'm a little disappointed with the image quality though. Having come from Nikon mirrorless, their 24-200 has much better image quality. Perhaps this lens is in need of a refresh.

My go to lens. Lite to carry easy for close ups.
I bought this lens about 5 years ago. Used for lot of my bird shoots but now I have 300mm to 600mm but it weights 7 pounds.

Travel lens
I bought this to have flexibility on travel with just 1 lens. On the whole it is an ok lens. My biggest difficulty is the minimum focusing distance.
