In this review I will be covering the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 OSS G Lens via the Sony A7R IV camera body.
I’ve gotten more requests to review this lens than probably any other lens in Sony’s line-up. Thank you for your patience and I must tell you this lens did not disappoint.
The Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens is a high quality all-in-one zoom lens option that is particularly good if you want to just use one lens. So, for travel and/ or family outings all your bases will be covered. You can get excellent landscapes, portraits, architecture, food, pets, video footage, and anything else you want to try and capture.
This lens features a constant f/4 aperture throughout the range and offers optical stabilization to help with slower shutter speed situations which you will inevitably have due to the slower f/4 max aperture when compared to faster f/2.8 lenses or even faster prime lens for example.
