Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS Hands-on Review Summary Among Sony's most practical, useful and versatile lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras That said, I know that it can be too much trouble to bring two cameras on a trip (let alone carrying them on a hike).

The zoom and focus rings operate smoothly. Typical for such lenses, it extends when zooming As for image quality at 105mm, it's great. Center sharpness at F4 is very good. Corner performance is impressive, albeit a bit less impressive than the corner performance at 35mm and 50mm, but pretty similar to the corner performance at 70mm. If you want slightly better corner performance, you should stop down to F5.6, F8, or maybe F11, although F11 has some diffraction.As usual, manual focusing works "by-wire". This may not be everybody's taste, but we have no issue with this. A focus hold button As a result, I can see why the Sony SEL24105G lens is widely regarded as Sony’s best all-around lens, which is precisely what I need for the myriad of situations that I often encounter in my travels.

If this is about 6" (15cm) wide on your screen, the complete image would print at 26 × 40" (67 × 100 cm) at this same high magnification. If this is about 12" (30cm) wide on your screen, the complete image would print at 53 × 80" (4.5 × 6 feet or 1.3 × 2 meters) at this same high magnification.I have no idea why some people get excited about lenses that only go to 70mm; 105mm is far more useful. This is primarily due to the lens’ high quality construction and engineering that afforded me the flexibility to shoot wide angle landscapes as well as close-ups, which made up over 90% of my shooting situations in both my hikes and travels. Even without RAW postprocessing in Adobe Lightroom, this photo of a beautiful sunset at Trinidad Beach was faithfully captured as I saw it
