The Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS is a professional-grade standard zoom lens designed to meet the needs of photographers and videographers looking for an all-in-one solution without sacrificing image quality or performance. Covering a highly practical focal length range—from wide-angle at 24mm to short telephoto at 105mm—it’s perfect for an incredibly wide range of subjects including landscapes, travel, portraits, street photography, documentary work, and even close-ups thanks to its 0.31x maximum magnification and 0.38m minimum focusing distance. The lens features a constant f/4 maximum aperture, providing consistent exposure and creative control throughout the entire zoom range, whether shooting wide open in low light or stopping down for greater depth of field.
Optically, the lens is engineered with 17 elements in 14 groups, including four aspherical elements (two of which are high-precision AA elements) and three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, which work together to suppress chromatic aberration, distortions, and spherical aberrations—delivering outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast, even at wider apertures. The inclusion of Sony’s Nano AR Coating minimizes internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, especially in backlit conditions, further enhancing image clarity.
Performance is fast and silent, thanks to the Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) autofocus system, which provides accurate and near-silent focusing, making the lens equally well-suited for video and stills. Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization is built in to help counteract camera shake, enabling sharp handheld shooting even at slower shutter speeds, and it works in tandem with in-body stabilization on Sony mirrorless cameras for even greater stability.
Constructed to withstand the rigors of real-world shooting, the lens features a dust- and moisture-resistant design, making it a durable choice for professionals who often shoot outdoors or in unpredictable environments. It also includes practical features such as a customizable focus hold button, a responsive and smooth manual focus ring, and an iris lock switch that prevents accidental aperture changes.
Despite its versatile zoom range and feature-rich build, the lens remains relatively compact and lightweight (weighing approximately 663g / 23.4 oz), which makes it ideal for travel and long shooting sessions. Whether you’re a hybrid shooter or a dedicated stills photographer, the Sony 24-105mm f/4 G OSS delivers the performance, quality, and versatility demanded by modern creatives using full-frame Sony E-mount cameras.
