- BEST A7IV lens Sony 24-105mm f4
arguably the sony 24-105mm f4 is probably the best all rounder lens for the sony a7iv. This lens is a brilliant lens with great sharpness, chromatic abberration, focus speed, focal range, aperture and price. With the amazing versatility of the wide 24mm to the telephoto 105mm, this lens will pair perfectly with the new sony a7iv.
The optical steady shot is a great feature in the sony 24-105mm lens. Having stability in the lens pairs very well with the sony sensor. The internal active steady shot also works well as shown in the stability testing

#sonyalpha #sony24-105mm #sonylens - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I have owned this lens since it was introduced and agree with your review. Sharp, Clean, Fast, and OSS Stable. I initially bought it to cover the 35, 55, and 85 mm ranges in one lens, and this one did what was expected. F4. is the new f2.8 with the Sony cameras available, and the ability to gather light. This lens has also never let me down when doing portraits, Real Estate, and other requirements. Once you mount this lens, it is unlikely you will swap it out much! Oh, and this is NOT a kit lens in any way.
Fine video! I agree. I have had the 24-105 since I moved to Sony mirrorless in 2018 and it's my go-to lens for so many scenarios. Plus, given the impressive low-light performance of my Sony A7Siii and FX3, I don't suffer much (if at all) having to use a higher ISO (because of the f4). You're right, for the price and the performance, it gets the job done.
Nice comparison footages, thanks for that!
I freaking love this lens for weddings! So incredibly versatile & it flairs perfectly.
Such a great lens. I do see the edge sharpness in your stability test. Can tell the softness. Almost looks vintage. Love it
Thank you so much for this video. I have the Sony a7iv and have been using it for a couple months. It’s the first camera I’ve ever purchased. Ive been using the lens that came with it and now just purchased this one! Super excited to have my first real lens. Keep being great brother
And how is this lens on the sony a7iv?
Thanks for your video. It's fascinating mate!
If I keep watching your channel I will be a sony Expert and I don't even have one lol
We will convert you soon enough 😂
Thank you Jason for making another great video!
I'm dreaming soooo much on GM 2.8 Version with this focal range and must OSS!
I'm looking forward for sure like many other....
Great video. I bought this lens last week and i love it
Great video Jason.. surprised how stable it was 👍
This is the first lens I purchase after buying my Sony A7 with a the 28-70 F3.5-5.6. So far I am loving it
I bought this lens 2nd hand for $750 and now just waiting for my a7IV to arrive. The quality of the lens and how its made its top notch as well and can’t wait to try it out.
Oh wow that's a bargain!
You are awesome, very good explanation.
Great video! I do have this lens, and one comment -- I would no way put this in the kit lens category; the build quality is phenomenal, overall image sharpness is fantastic, has a fixed aperture, that original price point! Literally the only thing I don't love is its low light performance (on my A73, soon to be upgraded!), but I really only notice it on low light video, not low light photography. I agree - I wish they'd re-make this at 2.8, or even make a GM version of it, because then it'd be unstoppable. Thanks for the review, and glad you're seeing great results paired with the A74 (including the image stabilization differences -- thanks for covering that!).
Great choice on the lens. Imagine a 2.8 version of this! Would be incredible
..and incredibly heavy! lol
I own much faster wide and telephotos primes but the 24-105 F4 is the one lens I have on my Sony most often! It is not the perfect lens but under most circumstances, it is close to it! I have absolutely been hugely satisfied by its performance for last few years! I have set the eye autofocus on the side button and the tracking has been great!
Thanks for sharing. I have the 20mm 1.8 for vlogging, this might be the zoom addition I need :)
Oh 20mm f1.8 is great!
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema it really is amazing! Excited to upgrade its body from a7c to a7iv :)
Love you videos. Did you have a chance yet with the Tamron 35-150mm f2.8? Would love to see your impressions on video.
I really enjoy your content Jason! Keep up the good work! Did you have the chance to try the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 ? I’d love to hear your thoughts and how it compares to this Sony 24-105 f/4 G
Good review!
I have the 24mm 1.4 GM lens which is gonna live on the camera almost full time, and also the kit lens 28-70mm oss, just waiting on the camera here in the US. Your videos were most insightful, thank you!!
24mm beast! Brilliant lens that.
I own this 24-105mm f/4 OSS and I am very happy with it. Beside this I have the 16-35mm f/4 OSS, the 70-200 f/2.8 GM2 OSS and the 14mm f/1.8 ultra wide. Those are in my backpack when I am in the mountains.
Great video!. Thanks. In terms of image quality, would you say this one is better than the sony 28-135mm f4 power zoom lens? Cheers!
Every so often I consider selling this lens and upgrading to an 2.8 but I use this lens so often. My IV is due in Feb so keen to experience this combo myself
I have the 24-105 on my new A7iv and it is my most valued and used lens. It is on my camera 90% of the time and I use for video and stills
Pairs so well! What other lenses you got?
I got the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 I'm very happy with this one it does not have OSS but other than that is an AMAZING lens, strongly recommended.Nice video as usual!!!
I also have the Sigma lens paired with a new A 7IV. We do have the option of punching in to Super 35 mode which will give us a 105 MM equivalent and 14 MP to work with. Not bad, since we will have permanent F2.8 as well.
Yes the sigma 24-70mm lens is a very capable lens for sure!
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema It’s indeed and quite sharp I just wished it was a lil’ longer focal length but quite cos is f2.8.Good stuff buddy!!☺️🙏🏾🙌🏾👊🏾
@@bf110c4 that’s a good one!! I’ll definitely try that thanks for sharing 😃🙏🏾
I’m on the fence. Love the sigma but no OS might be the deal killer. So far not too impressed w A7iv interval OS compared to canon. Thoughts?
A video comparing this with the Sigma 24-70 would be useful.
Love this lens combo with my fx3
Hey Jason.
Great video thanks. Is this lense compatible with the Sony A7IV focus breathing compensation?
I got the lens last week, now just waiting for the a7iv to arrive!! ha ha Glad you did this video, really helped me confirm why I bought it! Hope to see you do more on the a7iv brother!
You will love the a7iv!
the 2 are great together. bought my camera combo even before watching lens review vids. no complaints so far
One of my favourite lenses!
Hi Jason,
My name is Alan, I just found your channel and I’m so happy I did. Soon I’m getting
A 7IV I like the Gage you have on your Sony
A7 IV could you tell me about this gage please I mean what brand and where can I get it. Thanks 🙏
Nice, I was looking into a full-frame lens with OSS. Glad to see you made a review for it and you answered all of my questions.
Definitely considering purchasing this lens now. Love how smooth it looked handheld with everything turned on. Great because I love to go on hiking and backing trips with my wife and friends. That extra bit of stabilization would be great for walking and panning shots.
It also is compatibility with the focus breathing feature on the a7iv
I just recently dove in to photography and bought the A7iv. After extensive research I realized I just could NOT afford all the lenses I really wanted so I went for this one as a compromise for daily shooting and then the 14mm 1.8 gm for what this can't give me. It arrives today and I'm glad to hear I made a good choiceà
Same here! 😅
I'm sold.... I just ordered !
I bought this lens with the a7iii when it came out and it’s been my 99% go-to lens ever since. Holds up so damn well, it’s actually ridiculous. It makes it tough for me to justify buying anything else! Even bokeh is pretty nice when at 105mm. Such a beast piece of gear.
I shoot with this lens on a a7IV, a7RIV, and a a7SIII. I fell in love with this focal length when the studio I shot for at the time transitioned from medium format to DSLR; the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L is still a work horse lens for them.
I can't get enough of my 55 1.8 Zeiss. It has flown 50+ times in the six years I've owned it and the thing is still sharp af. Sometimes a good copy of a lens gives you false emotion for the lens 😂.
yes i love the 55 zeiss. small and compact too
Does flying degrade lenses?
Hey, ordered this lens for my a7sIII. Can you tell me how the active stabilization acts at night/lowlight? Are there issues same as gopros hypersmooth has? Would be great to get an answer 🙂 thanks for your videos 👏🏽👍🏽
I see this lens is for winter sale for less than the new Tamron 28-75 mm, and I consider getting the 24-105 instead of the Tamron G2. Do you think there is a possibility Sigma will make an art lens of this focal range soon? Or that Sony will make a GM version?
Damnn now I'm considering this too but Waiting on that 35-150 Tammy lens review from you lol
great video Jason,but there's one thing i don't understand when i watch your videos and you show the stabilization of a camera,i know what Ois and ibis are but i don't understand what "AS" means thanks
Ciao Jason. Is that Tilta cage adapted or originally made for the 7IV?
Jason does A7IV with 12-24 F4 G, 24-105 F4 G & 100-400 GM is good for travelers. Also how good is 4k60 with 24-105 on A7IV.
It's also a fantastic holiday lense.
Another lens to note for the A7IV users who want to film in 4k 60 is the aps-c E PZ 18-105 F4 G OSS. The lens is super sharp and since the camera is already cropping in there's no vignetting. Plus its only $650 brand new.
It´s also one of the rare parfocal Sony lenses 😉. Amazing little gem, often on sale far below 650 USD.
The light bloom on your talking head shots looks awesome, what filter are you using?
I use the Nisi black allure mist 1/8 panel filter. I'm sure their circular filters would have similar look
I would like to add that I really try to avoid shooting 24mm and 105 at f4 and f22 because of the lack of sharpness in the corners. If I can, I'll shoot something like 26mm at f5, etc.
next target, thanks
wow that one the best lence many recommend. he bro can you work through your studio officer set?
@Jason Morris Is there such a thing like a speed booster for this lens?
Thanks for recommending a cheaper alternative so many CZcamsrs like to push Sony g lenses like everybody has that kind of money . Most photographer are hobbyist which makes f4 more then good enough
I am still tempted to buy that lens, but started my kit with the Tamron 28-200.
Suggest me which one i should go with my a7iv this 24-105 f4 or tamron 28-75 g2 ( i am ả hybrid shooter but more into videography )
This is the only lens I used! Really nice lens
Love it
Your image tests make this look fine at 24mm without any major vignette or barrel/pin-cushion distortion, but other videos that I have looked seem to suggest otherwise so now I'm confused. I've ordered this online and it hasn't shipped yet, and the other videos were to bad I was considering cancelling the order, but it looked fine here, so I'm confused now. Were the images here in 24mm focal length lens/profile corrected and could that be why they don't look as bad?
I'm thinking about going with the Sigma 24-70 art or the 28-70 contemporary. What would you suggest for video work as well as photography? After that I'd like to get the 35 and 85 1.4s from sigma
If you have the money I recommend the 24-70 art. Perfect lens for the price. Much cheaper than the GM version. You will find a lot more use out of the 35mm 1.4 than the 85mm 1.4 unless you're always doing portraits then 85 it is
I am struggling so much, I got the 24-70 f/2.8 GM for the same price as the 24-105G OSS so now I have both. But I need to pick one to sell, what would be your advice?
Now that this video is a year old would you consider the 20-70mm f4 instead? I hear it is sharper even cropped in to 105mm. Is lack of OSS a huge deal?
How the stabilization works for IBIS when compared to sigma 24-70 art?
Dear Jason, you are phenomenal, more than the Sony 24-105mm f4 lens. You always give solutions in your videos and they are also wise solutions. Could you take away a curiosity please? Do you think the NEW Tamron 28-75 2.8 is sharper than the Sony 24-105mm f4 lens? Now I ask you only your thought, but don't smile please. ;) If you had to make a documentary in 4K with the Sony A7 IV, documenting the daily life of indigenous peoples in remote areas of the planet, would you use 25p or 50p? Thank you for your precious info.
Would you recommend this lens for talking head videos? I ordered the a74 and I Heard- someone say that there is a lens, that makes you look better than in real life… I have good lighting. I just don’t know what lens is good for that. I want to make cinematic looking beauty editorials and reviews…
I just bought a7 iv, it this lens good for all purposes such landscape photo and telephoto?.
how about sony 24-105mm F2.8 GMaster romors coming soon ???
what about sony 18-105, 18-135 or 18-250 and 24-240? or glass is very bad on this?
What cage are you rocking? 🔥
Hi Jason, thanks for the review. I've also seen quite many people comparing this lens to Tamron 28-200. It seems they are quite close in performance and Tamron offers a longer reach. Just wonder what's your take in this? Have a nice day :)
the only reason I prefer the 24-105 is that added OSS. extra stability can help with walking shots. overall a faster lens would be optimal for many
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Thanks for your kind reply!
I have the 24-105 G; however, after using the Tamron for photography, I see little reason to keep the 24-105 G. The extra speed with that range has proven to be too useful for my usage. I have the 16-35 GM for the wider end. The Tamron seems faster than the G zoom for AF to me.
I do agree with the 35-150. Onky if you don't need that 24mm wide angle. OSS is another reason the sony is better then the tamron. It purely depends what you create
The 35-150 is $1900
35-150 is 2/3 more money than this
Thank you
You're welcome
Im about to buy the 7IV so... be honest, This 24-104 or 24-70 GM1 ?
When I've heard "teliphoto" I immediately knew you are Aussie :).
I have this lens (24-105) with my Sony a7R3. Very versatile.....
And focus breathing compensation!
This will be tricky to write; I'm considering buying this lens and get out of my current Tamron 28-200. Nothing against the Tamron, but in general I've noticed those versatile lenses that goes from 2x - 2xx or 3xx are usually a big let down.
I'm trying to move from Meh or Okay lenses but not get into GM Serie which are too expensive for a hobbyist as myself who doesn't monetize his work.
I don't know if my reasoning is correct but I feel like this F4 is made to 105 and not 200 or above in order to avoid decreasing the quality, which is the opposite of the 24 - 240 Sony or 70 - 300 Sony ..
Also I want it for the OSS, though I don't do videos, and F4 isn't a problem as long as the quality remain good I can get out of the 200 that I own.
Would be nice to hear some feedbacks as I'm still not sure a 100% to get this one or not.
Yes, de finitely not a cheap kit lens. The best medium range (in mm's) made by Sony. Not as fast as the Sony F: 2.8 24 - 70 mm,
but a much more versatile lens for the working professional. Medium wide-angle and short telephoto combining excellent optics, I'd be lost without mine.
I just bought this lens and the Sony A7IV, however it says the autofocus is invalid with this lens. Sony was no help. Any tips??
Nice review but I do have a bone to pick with you. A kit lens that costs more than $1k? That is more than some cameras! Never heard anyone refer to it as a kit lens. Would love to know who does. Also , with the iso capability of Sony full frame cameras who needs a 1 stop faster lens that costs more with a shorter range? The bokeh diff, which is way overblown by most CZcamsrs, is negligible. If we want serious bokeh we use a fast prime anyway. This is a great serious all around general carry lens for most of us. In spite of my disagreement, you have a great channel and I love most all of your content!
I don't call it a kit lens, sony and photography places do. They sell them as a 'kit with new cameras so it is classified as a "kit lens" by default. Regardless of the untitled name I absolutely love this lens and its capabilities
Totally! Why would you give up that great range 24-105 for an extra stop when it’s so much easier to push your ISO instead. You’re giving up very valuable wide and telephoto. I have this lens and didn’t even consider hobbling my range at both ends for a stop!
I compared my Sony 24-105mm f4 and Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 lenses at 105mm f4 at ISO 80 shutter speed 1/250 s on my Sony a7 IV photos at 400% zoom in very small print photographed at 5 meters. My conclusions: Tamron has more contrast and brighter colors, but Sony seems to be a little bit sharper.
I also noticed that video mode stabilization is much better on lenses with optical stabilization (Sony - my respect!). I also have a Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 and Samyang 85mm f1.4, as well as a Samyang 45mm f1.8.
Hi thanks for the video. Im looking for some advice on a wide angle lens for the a7iv If I'm not mistaken you've suggested the Laowa 9mm apsc? Do you have any videos shot with that setup. I'm mainly interested in real estate video. Thank you
which lens is better? 24-70f4 or 24-105f4?
I am thinking getting one for my studio work with flash which gonna shoot at 5.6, f8, maybe even f11. So f4 aperture is no issue for me. Is it sharp? That is all I care about.
Absolutely. Stopping down to f5.6 or 6.3 and you'll have pretty much perfect sharpness edge to edge
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I agree. I shot a number of photos of family at a b-day party. Got a few shots of my son in room light with help from daylight. I blew up the image to match the seen in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly when the three were at Sad Hill Cemetery. On a 34 inch ultrawide, I was blown away at the sharpness of the skin, eyebrows and lashes. But the cherry on top was the eye. It was like looking at the shiniest steel ball bearing or marble. The photo was taken with my A7R3. I'm giving up neither.
I love the 35 1.4 gm
Why not just use the APSC 18-105 f4?
This was a tough call for me. Lot of people recommended this, but I ended up with the Sigma 28-70
What are your thoughts on that one??
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema so far, so good! I was nervous about the 24-70 Sigma because of the dust issues, but nothing has come up yet with the 28-70. I know you have compression on the 24-105mm at the tighter focal lengths, but I really wanted that 2.8
@@phucmapvlog dust issues have been resolved with that lens. as long as you get one with a recent manufacturing date
@@RubiconUnlimited I had heard that as well, but a friend of mine got a newer release that was supposed to be the “new” model, and he got dust inside the lens within the 1st three months.
@@phucmapvlog no way! I had mine serviced to remove the dust. Apparently there's nothing wrong with the seals on the lens, the dust exists in there do to a fault in manufacturing process that introduces the dust inside. Very odd
It's funny. I have neglected this lens for so long in my kit in favor of 1.4 and 2.8 primes or short zoom range. Then one evening I had to use it and was so satisfied not changing out lenses and I found that the bokeh is not much less than f2.8 after 50mm. It's just crazy how many lenses this replaces and it's so damn sharp too. It's literally the best lens I've got now for my use case. CZcamsrs marketing specs has really pushed new people starting out in the wrong direction. Learn the craft folks. Then learn how to use the specs more as specific tools for certain looks.
I wish sony can give us a 24-105 2.8!!!!!!! that would be a dream !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until you see the size then it might not be.
@@benldr 😢🤣
What mist filter are u using now…is it 1/8 ?
I am using the black allure mist by nisi. Yes, it is a 1/8 strength
The 24-105 zoom lens is always versatile and great. But Nikon is the best. As its F4 full frame versatile lens is 24-120mm which they have carried over from there Nikon F-Mount lens range to their Nikon Z-Mount Lens range wish all camera companies did this range in there versatile zoom lens.
I intend to use the Nikon 24-120 on the Sony A74 and Sony A7siii.
Because I am into product photography and videography more, I went for 90mm f2.8 macro but this lens is on my radar and I will go for it soon.
Great thing about the 90mm also is the OSS on that one. I think it's the only full frame prime lens with OSS
What Tilta cage are you using?
That's the a7siii cage slightly modified
When will available in india market..???
Should be available this month there i would assume
Did you ever consider the Tamron 17-70 crop sensor lens? In super 35 mode that makes it a 25.5-105 at f2.8 with stabilization on a full frame camera? If my math is correct that still gives you 22 megapixels. For stills there is a loss, but for video I don't think it makes that big of a difference.
For commercials where everything is planned beforehand, and can be staged over and over again...(and with budgets to rent lenses (for best outcome).. I have trouble ro understand why you would take this lens, however good it is for always getting "the shot" wile with fixed, very fast lenses you'd still be at wondering witch one to mount and if it's worthwhile...
What wrist strap are you using with your camera?
It's a smallrig handle and strap
Good Lens. I buy it with 90 f2.8 Makro and 35 f1.4 Zeiss. It's a good combo 👌🏼
Oh very nice!!
I will get the sigma 24-70 f2.8 for that price and a lot sharper even more than GM
Great choice.
Speaking of kit lens, does the A7IV comes with a kit lens....? if yes what lens is it?.... Haven't seen CZcamsrs talk about the kit lens for A7IV...🤔
It depends which camera store it's purchased from. I don't think Sony sell it in a box with a lens anymore. This lens is the most common lens sold with sony bodies out of the box
The Sony 24-105mm F4 G is considered a kit lens in Australia? It isn’t in the US. It’s a Sony G lens, constant aperture of F4, 24-105mm range and costs a minimum of $1100 brand new. Far from a kit lens imo.
The only reason some consider it a kit lens is because it is sometimes sold with the alpha cameras and the FX6 as a "basic" starter lens. I don't consider it a kit lens
Now we need 24-105 f2.8 gm or 28-135 f2.8 gm
Yes please!
I use this lense with my a7iv and its very good for taking pictures but NOT for video, the videos are not that sharp.
