Announced alongside the Sony Alpha A7RIII mirrorless camera body last year, the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS is a significant addition to Sony’s standard zoom lens lineup for their FE mount. Before its release, Sony users had a bit of a tricky choice when it came to selecting a standard zoom lens for their kit. At the top of the lineup was and remains the fantastic Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM lens. It’s an outstanding performer but an expensive one at $ 2,198, and it’s not exactly a light lens at 886 grams. The older Zeiss branded FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA lens introduced alongside the original A7 series is another option, but its performance leaves a lot to be desired. The third option is the Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS kit zoom whose performance just doesn’t cut it on today’s megapixel dense full frame sensors.
