Key features

• Constant f/4 aperture with fast, precise, quiet AF for stills and movies
• The optical design achieves consistently high corner-to-corner resolution throughout the zoom range
• Minimum focus distance of 0.38 metres for creative compositions
• Dust and moisture resistance along with a fluorine coating
• Barrel controls include a Focus mode switch, Focus hold button and Shake compensation switch

The optical design of the Sony 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens include four aspherical elements to reduce aberration and ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to minimise chromatic aberration. Sony also included a circular aperture with 9 aperture blades to achieve smooth bokeh and soft out of focus areas. This is one of the most versatile zooms in the range of Sony lenses, with the FE 24-70mm F/2.8 GM lens offering one stop brighter aperture with shorter range at a considerable price jump.

A compact, lightweight comprehensive zoom

From 24mm to 105mm and F4 aperture throughout the zoom this high-performance G Lens offers consistently high image quality. In addition to outstanding optical performance it features compact, lightweight design for portability and mobility befitting the E-mount system. Fast, precise AF and high reliability add to the broad utility of this fine zoom lens.

Excellent corner-to-corner imaging throughout the zoom range

advanced optics achieve consistently high corner-to-corner resolution throughout the zoom range. Four aspherical elements effectively reduce aberration, while ED (extraa-low Dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration. A circular aperture and carefully controlled spherical aberration shape add expressive potential with beautiful, smooth background bokeh and natural highlights that complement outstanding in-focus sharpness and clarity

A one-lens solution for mobile, versatile shooting

Excellent optical performance and a high zoom ratio are packed into a compact, lightweight only 663 grams (23.4 oz.). The compact lightweight design extend to E-mount bodies for outstanding system mobility and handling ease. This one high-performance lens lets you shoot a wide range of subjects and situations. A minimum focus distance of 0.38 meters (1.25ft.) and built-in optical image stabilization further enhance all-around versatility.

Constant F4 and fast, precise, quiet AF for stills and movies

A bright constant F4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range keeps the brightness even when focal length is changed. Sony's Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) AF drive system offers fast, precise, quiet focusing. And a precision optical design minimizes focus breathang. All of this makes the FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS an excellent choice for both stills and movies.

Wide-range mid-telephoto zoom

A wide 24-105mm zoom range with constant f/4 easily handles subjects such as portraits, snapshots, landscapes, architecture, and more. This one lens will cover most shooting needs, minimising the need to carry extra equipment.

Outstanding images at any focal length

Four aspherical elements, two of which are high-precision AA (advanced aspherical) types, are used in an advanced optical design that effectively suppresses distortion while maintaining consistently high corner-to-corner resolution and image quality throughout the lens’s zoom range.

ED glass enhances resolution and colour

Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements strategically deployed in the lens’s optical path further enhance resolution by suppressing chromatic aberration. Excellent sharpness and natural colour reproduction are maintained right out to the image edges.

Clarity and contrast in any light

Sony’s original Nano AR Coating suppresses spurious reflections that can cause flare and ghosting in backlit and other challenging lighting situations, for consistently high contrast and clarity. Freedom from flare over a wide range of incident light angles provides greater framing and composing flexibility. (1. Nano AR Coating / 2.Glass / 3.Transmitted light)

Beautiful blend of sharpness and bokeh

In addition to a circular aperture design, precise control of the lens’s spherical aberration shape contributes to the stunning balance between sharpness and luscious bokeh that is a hallmark of the G Lens brand.The ability to combine high resolution and smooth bokeh in creative imagery affords vast expressive potential.
