Sony SEL24240 FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Zoom Lens for Mirrorless Cameras

very heavy lens, i was thinking about the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens also, but glad i didnt get the GM lens - its even heavier than this one. very versatile. good for scenery, portrait or zoom. im not a pro user, just a dad wants to take good photos of kids. not very sharp you say, its sharp enough for me, fast enough. im not doing any extreme sports, so not weather sealed is ok. low resale value? no problem, im planning to use this for a long time. i dont think i will need another lens. 3 sample images for portrait/zoom, in door and outdoor scenery. i didnot spend very much time taking these photos, just point and click.

The best super zoom Ive ever used. I tested the lens the day I received it and then shared about a dozen images from a photowalk. Others were impressed as well. Lens is bright and focuses fairly quickly locking on to subject with no hunting. IQ is quite impressive. The lens is sharp, contrasty and has excellent color. The range is perfect for a day outing or travel. In a 2-3 hour photowalk I rarely found myself needing or wanting anything wider or longer. One exception was at a local pond where I could have used a 500mm to capture a fisherman on the far bank. But thats not a carry-around lens. The zoom ring is a bit stiff out of the box but I think that will break-in over time. Ive seen that before with new lenses. Either way, its fine as you wont find this lens creeping much. Packaging is minimal but the plus side is that its quick to unpack. Unlike some other Sony lenses and particularly the Zeiss, the box just barely fits the lens. Inside you find the typical literature and the lens itself wrapped in a small bubble wrap bag. No additional cardboard bracing, no lens bag, no extra protection. This is true minimalist packaging. Thankfully mine came from Amazon packed in a larger box with some other items (soft items). Ive used super zooms from Canon, Tamron, Sigma and several others and have never felt that I was getting this level of performance. Of course, this lens costs a good deal more than the others but it shows in build quality and image quality. Strengths: Outstanding Image Quality Excellent Build Quality Excellent Range Ideal Carry Lens for All Day Outing Cons: A bit on the heavy side can leave a small body feeling unbalanced Packing was minimal. Thin cardboard box and some bubble wrap Zoom is stiff right out of the box, hoping it breaks in

Wonderful lens. I truly light the range this lens offers, and while I have seen some complain about the weight of the lens, it doesnt seem to phase me. The focus and zoom are rather stiff, but that doesnt seem to bother me either. Ive enjoyed the 4K and 1080p 120fps this lens has helped delivered, and while I have noticed it is difficult to avoid a soft focus from a distance at times, overall it hasnt been bad at all as some claim. I think the overall focusing on the Sony A7Sii is imperfect and needs improvement, and when testing it with autofocus on, I had minor issues with it keeping up. Ive also used this lens on several photography sessions, and I have truly enjoyed the range it offers. Overall I truly have enjoyed this lens, and my only regret is not purchasing it earlier!

This is actually a very nice lens with sharp optics for a zoom with this range. As always there are compromises with a lens covering such a large range but Ive been pleasantly surprised by the overall sharpness that this lens provides. While, of course, not an equal to prime lenses or even the much more expensive shorter zooms for the Sony, it does a very good job and one has to carry considerably fewer lenses. I traveled with this lens and a Leica 50mm f2 prime. At lot less than I usually carry.

No its not the sharpest nor the fastest but for convenience and for a do-it-all travel lens I think its perfect. I have zero complaints regarding image quality for this lens. Focus speed on my A6300 is fast and predictable. I highly recommend this lens if you need the ability to go wide or far and cannot change lenses or only want to deal with one lens. It is a little heavy but I really dont mind it. Ive walked around all day before and never felt the lens was too much to carry even at the end of the day.

Great lens for my purposes. I bought it mainly to film figure skating, where you need both wide angle have to zoom in and out pretty fast, and the lens proved to be perfect for the task. Besides, this lens turned out to be a great main lens, I ended up using it a lot for photo as well.

Nice one for all lens. Meets most normal use cases. Its also the only option so far from Sony. I took camera all the time and this lens is the No.1 choice. Optical quality is OK, at 240mm side its becoming soft but that the typical case for all 10x zoom lens. Notes that, although people tend to think mirrorless camera is small and light (comparing to DSLR body, its true), thats not the case for optics. The lens is comparable in volume and weight to the lens of DSLR.

Hands down my go-to lens for absolutely any occasion. Great if not the best travel lens you can get for your Sony cameras. Although its heavy as hell and it takes time to get used to how tight the focus is.

Very nice Pictures and the focusing is very easy. I like the fact that you dont have to change the lens. However as far as portability it makes the camera very heavy and is certainly not practical to carry around with a shoulder strap.

Got this lens today and shot about 70 pictures in the neighborhood. Couldnt be more pleased. Its a bit heavy, but the performance compensates of that.
