Sony 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 Review - The ONLY lens you need?

[@StefanMalloch]

Whats your favorite all in one lens?

[@omerslifeinksa1178]

Still confused about which one to choose🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sudeepadhananjaya6653]

Is this lens use for Wedding/Party Photography?

[@DirkJanFotografie]

@@sudeepadhananjaya6653I have used this lens for a wedding that I shot (the only one that I did shoot) and loved it. The versatility is great as you can shoot quite wide which is nice indoors during a ceremony and it also has some great tele for when you have more room such as outdoors. I did use it on a nice sunny summer day and the results were great and the married couple was truly happy with the images. It was only during an indoor ceremony that I switched to the 16-35mm f4 lens for a few even wider shots because the room wasn’t very large and a few wider shots were a great addition. All other shots were taken with the 24-240 lens. Overall, the lens is great if there’s enough light. For darker situations such as live music indoors, I would recommend a lens with a larger aperture to let in more light and prevent motion blur from moving subjects.

I like this lens because the best pictures are the taken ones. And that is where this lens shines. You are prepared for everything and mostly you are ending up with a decent image quality (especially due to the OSS). Having this lens mounted on my camera I am always coming home with shots which I wouldn't have been able to take otherwise. That is the real value of this lens.

[@StefanMalloch]

Totally agree. Lots of times my favorite pictures are improvised. Its a real life lens!

[@nadeemafzal8984]

Well said That’s so true

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

It’s a great lens. I own just about every FE Sony lens and the 24-240 is very good for events or travel. Also the RX10 IV.

[@JakeSloan]

Nice review. I really wanted to compare this lens with the Tamron 28-200 while I was testing it but I couldn't get one in time. I never thought I would enjoy shooting with an all in one lens as much as I did with the tamron. They really did a great job on it. I hope you get the chance to test one out soon it's def been the best all in one I've ever used.

[@StefanMalloch]

Thanks bud. Working on it. Hard to get my hands on it here in Canada so far..

[@CharlieVN]

optics are not even comparable, the Tamron gets close to the 70-200 f4 G......

[@john_in_Berlin]

Just watched your Tamron review (JS) with the helicopter rescue and then asked myself, Is there a longer lens (23-200+?). I guess this is it. But not yet sold on it over Tamron. I'll see.

[@MrRolandMichel]

Is it the sharpest lens, no... BUT it is ready for pretty much anything I throw at it at a moments notice! And, I'm NOT hauling around a bag full of primes, wasting time swapping out glass... and MOST importantly, not opening my sensor up to all sorts of contaminants every single time I swap out a lens. Works well for me and that's all I care about.

[@rifortes]

I’ve had this lens for quite a long time. What do you suggest to substitute? Thanks!

[@DjPaNik]

This or the Sony FE 24-105mm G OSS? Seems like the 24-105 has better quality (but missing the extra zoom).

[@vivianejubran9605]

Which one would recommend for sports (baseball) my son’s team. I have Sony a7iii. The Sony 24-240 or tamron 28-200 ?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

what did you end up getting?

[@john_in_Berlin]

Same question! 😉

[@omerslifeinksa1178]

I love Your reviews more than anyone. Excellent Work. Keep it Up Man.!

[@Airbender131090]

Using this lens for 3 years. Is there analog with Good quality and constant F ?

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

I've had this lens for about five years now. It is a great go-to because it will cover my butt for almost everything. Its color and definition are pretty good, too. For serious color and definition I go to the Zeiss 1.8 55mm which is an insanely good lens

[@NLspartan117]

Even for a professional this could be the choice. It surprises me how people keep thinking bigger and more expensive means better. There are plenty of famous photographers who shoot with these smaller "non-professional" lenses.

[@daniellevy2272]

I heard I shoukd get F2.8 for shooting films... woukd that still be good though?

[@SisterBlancheMunia]

Hello, Thanks for this can you please answer me. is this Lens better than Sigma 24mm F1.4. Answer me plz😭

[@StefanMalloch]

Completely different and can't really compare a fast prime to a huge zoom.

[@matiissgrislis5174]

Would this be good if im trying to capture like race cars, rally cars and stuff like that?

[@trivacker]

I'm on the fence between this lens and the Sony 24-105mm F4 for travel usage.

[@gamerguy655]

Good choice for a one and done lens

[@rosyaugust7095]

Great zoom lens. Loved it.

[@lesliesharpe4915]

Great review again!! Thanks!!

[@pedrosoto2290]

Hello Stefan, you have compared the quality of sony Lens 24-240 with the sony lens 24-105? which one has best imagen quality. Thank

[@StefanMalloch]

Optically, the 24-105 is superior no question.

[@NicosDayOut]

Can I use this with sony a7c full frame. I guess it is for aps-c mirror less

[@StefanMalloch]

It's a full frame lens. FE = FF, E = Aps-c

[@echoauxgen]

I have used since 2015 and have captured lunar/solar eclipses as well as moon at 360mm in APS-C mode, great for those landscape wide but for flying birds also. This is the lens to have on your camera while traveling and stopping at a lookout point sites, may not make good time due to all of them. I get bokeh with small center meter and focus. Sony dynamic range makes the lens worth the sub $1K point. You can pair with the E 10-18 f/4 APS-C (so small) get 16-27mm in APS-C or 12-18mm in Full Frame both and all travel stuff fit in a teardrop bag easy to have stopping at a restaurant or walking about in town or in the wild and not having to wear a big bag of stuff and worrying about prying eyes. I keep the bag with me going around town just incase of a spotted scene just can not pass up. Even great at air shows. Sharpness and focus today is really in the software today anyway, so do not worry about all the hype of f/#'s, pixels, and sharpest/clearest from all the circus hawkers on the tube. I use my old film FD lenses at 1.8 or 2 or 2.8 if I need wide and fast, the glass is just as sharp maybe manual but with focus peaking Sony is way better than others.

[@pf4773]

Hi, thanks so much for this lens review: I agree with you that super zooms with such a wide range are a great option for travelers! The cost is a bit much for me and the ultimate zoom length is not enough (I want at least 300mm).

[@vicentvanmole]

I had it for 4 yrs ,good as he said all around 70%IQ ,heavy but well build .Focus 70%.Wish Tarmon make IQ better &lighter

[@yvonneyu7567]

Will this lense work well when shooting wild life, like African safari? I’m beginner level and have a Sony Mark 4 camera

[@rene.s.s]

You need about 100-300 for Safari

[@AndreasSiebertvideos]

I have an older Sony A7…this may be lens over the Tamron one due to stabilization.

[@TheThinFrame]

Great review! Do u have a link to check the raw images? I am really considering this lens but i am trying to see some raw first! Thanks

[@J-freelatief]

halo, this lens is variable appeture or fix appeture , when we zoom the lens ? thanks bro

[@AprilClayton]

How did you get such nice driving footage? Haven’t mastered that.

[@StefanMalloch]

If you mean the timelapse, that's just an old Gopro!

[@jtepsr]

I bought this purely for travel photography because i could not carry so much glass where i was going. These lens always have trade offs

[@sudeepadhananjaya6653]

Is this lens use for Wedding/Party Photography?

[@StefanMalloch]

I might stick to something with a faster aperture.

[@sepantafard5845]

Good job mate . I do think ot s so uaefull lense

[@CharlieVN]

the Tamron 28-200 is SOOOO Much better optically, but the lack of IS is a huge downfall for stills AND video................ tough decisions, really wish the 24-240 had tamron optics, would have made life much easier.

[@networm64]

And 24 is SO much wider than 28!

[@frnvito]

yeah the lack of IS is a deal breaker for me since i shoot alot of sports panning. without IS i would cut my keepers in half or more.

[@omarortizytc]

not much good reviews about this lens. thanks for making this. ive been contemplating to get this but tamron also released the 28-200mm recently so it's another debacle

[@benontheroadnl]

Thank you! Very helpful

[@rene.s.s]

Get 70-300 instead and a better standard zoom, or ideally primes in wide, mid, 55mm 1.8 ZA and 85+ 1.8 or better

[@m4xs0ng66]

it's not the sharpest lens, but so is most other superzoom lens, I think if you want a all-in-one lens its either this or the Tamaron 28-200 for E-mount

[@AjaySingh-228]

nice lens sir..What is your openion about canon 70 to 300mm usm 2 lens?

I actually traded this lens in for a 100-400. The 100-400 is on my camera almost all of the time. After that, the 24-105.

[@nadeemafzal8984]

Can I ask how do u compare 24-240 to 109-400 in performance (not range) The Sony 100-400 blows any 80/100-400 I have used on any system This 24-240 lens is practical though Btw I got exactly those two too - 24-105 & 80-400 - 😊-

[@lisawells8226]

@@nadeemafzal8984 the 100 to 400 is a superior lens over the 24-240 in every single way. The only drawback is that it is heavier.

[@nadeemafzal8984]

@@lisawells8226 thank u Sounds like I made the right call and need to stick to those two lenses Problem is that one always wonders for a better lens Think Nikon 24-200 is better than the Sony version - perhaps a mark II is needed
