[sc name="affiliate disclosure"]Every camera manufacturer usually has a lens that falls in the 24mm to 105mm range that has an F4 Aperture (Nikon has a 24-120mm version). As I am new to the Sony system I decided to rent Sony's version of their 24-105mm F4 lens. Below is my Sony FE 24-105mm F4 Review.

Who this Product is For:

The Sony FE 24-105mm F4 is primarily for creatives who want a wide range in their lens. It's a great choice for events, travel, and wedding shooters. The 24-105mm is made for full-frame cameras but will also work on APS-C cameras. On an APS-C camera like an a6300 or a6500, the focal range will be 36-157mm.

Price:

At the time of this writing the Sony FE 24-105mm F4 lens cost $1298.00.

What You Get

Here are a few of the features that you will get with the Sony FE 24-105mm F4 lens:

Constant F4 Aperature
Image Stabilization
Weather Sealed

One thing I love that Sony has included in their new lenses like the 24-105mm is an AF/MF button. Canon and Nikon has this on their lenses but it took Sony some time to implement this feature. This is extremely helpful if you want to quickly switch to Autofocus or Manual mode. Very helpful if you're shooting video.

What You Won’t Get

I think one of the only negatives I found for the 24-105mm was the priced. Compared to its competitors the lens ranks as the most expensive of the bunch. The Canon and Nikon versions are 16-17% less than the Sony versions. Also, as the Canon and Nikon lenses have been out on the market for some time, they may be even cheaper on the used market.

Summary: Sony FE 24-105mm F4 Review

In conclusion, I was impressed by the quality and build of Sony's 24-105mm F4 lens. However, I think because of its high price compared to other competitors such as Nikon, and Canon, it may turn people off to buying the lens. Especially as third-party companies such as Tamron and Sigma are creating lenses for the Sony FE Mount. However, when you are using lenses that were specifically designed for that camera body, the functionality will work more accurately between the lens and body.
