On a Sony camera, the Canon 24-105 will distort much more since the camera can't compensate for it, and only the Sony lens' optical stabilizer will work. At 70mm, the lens continues to perform well. At F4, center sharpness is good. Extreme corner sharpness is only okay. I think the corner performance is worse at 70mm than at 50mm, at least at F4. Something that I’ve been quite aware of regarding superzoom lenses like the Sony SEL24240 lens as well as my old Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM lens is the minimum distance to shoot.

As a result, I’ve been surprisingly able to take some long-exposure photos with this lens without the need to mount it on a tripod. The Sony SEL24105G Lens is a general-purpose all-in-one midzoom lens that can do both wide angle and a modest 4.3x zoom relative to its minimum focal length of 24mm. With the introduction of the FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS, Sony has finally released a lens that can fill the gap in the mid-range of the lineup. The 24-105mm focal range is ideal for a variety of photographic disciplines including landscape, photojournalism, portraiture, fashion, documentary, architectural and travel photography. ILCE-7M3 + Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS (SEL24105G) @ 29mm, ISO 400, 1/100, f/8.0 Here's an image shot wide-open at 105mm, and it's ultra-sharp corner to corner. You can't ask any more of a lens than this:The digital photography literature on the internet had been singing the praises of the Sony SEL24105G lens because of its image quality despite it being a non-specialized general-purpose lens. Vignette is well-controlled by the Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS lens. Even when shooting wide open, there's no big issue throughout the entire zoom range. What minor vignette is present is gone by stopping down to F5.6. So the thing is - there's an urgent need for something good and reasonably affordable in their standard zoom lens lineup, and maybe Unfortunately, I’ve had the misfortune of dunking my Sony Alpha 7 III body with the Sony SEL24105G lens in water. The scene of the crime, so to speak, where the Sony camera was dunked in water

Finally, the Sony SEL24105G did what they could to ensure a consistently open minimum aperture at f/4 stop to ensure that every shot I take would have sufficient light. However, in addition to landscapes, I’ve also found that this lens does a pretty good job at allowing me to take macro photographs of things that get my attention (e.g. close-ups of blooming flowers, berries, or insects among other things). The build quality may be a tad below what GM lenses are offering, but it's still up to professional standards. The construction is a combination of high-quality plastics based on a metal mount. The zoom and focus rings operate smoothly. Typical for such lenses, it extends when zooming

The 24-240mm OSS is a less expensive, lighter-duty lens that weighs a little more, and has over double the zoom range. Focal-length settings are engraved into the metal and filled with paint on the zoom ring, while other markings are painted. The AF system relies on Sony's Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM), which is pretty fast and silent. Focus accuracy is usually spot on. By the way, if you do attach a filter, you’ll want to use a very thin one (I use a B + W XS-PRO MRC nano 77mm circular polarizer filter), which would minimize vignetting (i.e. the dark corners). Nevertheless, I’ve had situations where I wished I had telephoto capability as some moments (especially with wildlife) are fleeting.

The ZEISS FE 24-70/4 is a smaller, older, lighter weight and lighter duty lens. It doesn't zoom as far, macro isn't as close and it isn't as sharp at wide angles. I have no idea why some people get excited about lenses that only go to 70mm; 105mm is far more useful.It will not work on any Sony A-mount DSLR or any Minolta MAXXUM 35mm SLR of any kind. Those use the old A mount which was actually the Minolta MAXXUM mount from 1987.
