Or, perhaps grab a used copy. Prices seem to be great on the used market these days for these.
The 24-105 f/4 G is my workhorse lens. Something like 80% of the photos I share were taken with this one. It’s a really good lens and is usually the one on my camera, unless I need something more extreme when it comes to focal length or aperture. It’s remarkably sharp for what it is, the colors are great, and it covers a focal range that’s good for most of my shots. I’ve had this lens since April 2018 and still love it; it’s held up really well over time.

The 24-105 is an awesome lens. I gave it to my daughter and I do miss it sometimes. I replaced with the Sony 20-70 F4 G and Sony 70-200 f4 Macro G OSS II combination. They are super sharp (as sharp as the GM 2 equivalents in the smaller apertures), small, and lightweight, and provide a much wider range with some level of “Macro” capabilities. They fit nicely, along with a 1.4TC, in a 7L Wotencraft Pilot bag.
Soo nice that you add some example pics in your review! Helps soo much to see, what the lense is capable of!
Still in my lens line up after all these years. Love this lens!
your shots are incredible, and really inspiring. i just got my first real camera in the r6 mark ii with the rf 24-105 f4 and this basically sold me on it (again). can't wait for my bag to arrive so i can actually head out and start shooting. cheers for the really great video!
Zoom lenses FTW! Haha but seriously! I've never used a 24-105, I mostly use a 24-70 & 70-200 on 2 cameras and barely ever switch lenses. But now this has me intrigued!
Thank yoU!
Thank you for video. I am thinking about this lens as one-travel-solution, companion to my current Sigma 24-70/2,8. I am tempted by extra reach of this Sony.
Great review, and very beautiful photos ! thanks
I'm pretty confused between Sony & Tamron I am into travel photography landscapes and street please suggest me between sony and tamron also which range should I consider and I will be photographing in low lights due to UAE 🇦🇪 whether conditions
24mm to 70mm OR 28mm to 200mm
Sony OR Tamron
Hey I have a question I have the lens now for 2 months I photograph myself with a Sony a7iv I have real problems with the lens with the sharpness even if I set the focus manually the pictures are not as sharp as they should be you also had problems in that direction . 😅
Great pics, and good sell of the lens! My only zoom is Sigma 100-400; everything below 100 is primes. If I do sometime want to go with another Zoom, this one looks like a great bet.
Nice! Do you have a favorite prime? I'm having fun playing around with them more these days and have my eye on a few more...
Hi! Nice video! I have a question: is this lens good for travel?, in the city photos?
Extreme longer wider faster? like what focal lengths and would they be zooms ?
Hey I recognize some places from Slovenia in your sample pictures :) I'm on M43 and have similar attachment to 14-140mm lens. I do 100% of my videos and 80% of photography with it. It's just so comfortable that I'm often willing to compromise on picture by sticking to this lens instead of going winder or longer (and have both 7mm and 400mm lenses).
Also this kind of long term reviews are sorely lacking ... I guess clicks for reviews of fresh new stuff bring more views on youtube ...
I need to get back to Slovenia again for another trip soon! Japan's on the schedule for this fall, but hopefully within the next few years. And yeah, totally agree on the lack of long-term reviews. RUclips definitely seems to reward reviews of new and exciting gear (and if a channel focuses primarily on reviews, there's only so much you can review that you've used for an extended period of time before you run out of things to review!). I'm just planning to include some videos here and there talking about gear that I've actually used for a bit (maybe not 6 years each time though 😂).
@@BrianLackey Happy to help you on Slovenia route planning whenever you're ready.
