Designed for
versatility, the FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens from Sony is
a wide-angle to short-telephoto zoom designed for E-mount mirrorless cameras.
Complementing the useful range of focal lengths is a constant f/4 maximum
aperture, which maintains consistent performance throughout the zoom range and
also affords increased control over depth of field. Benefitting the reach is an
advanced optical design, which employs aspherical and extra-low dispersion
glass elements to control color fringing, distortion, and a variety of
aberrations for greater sharpness and clarity. A Nano AR Coating has also been
applied to suppress lens flare and ghosting for high contrast and color
accuracy when working in harsh light.
Further adding
to the versatility, this 24-105mm f/4 also incorporates an Optical SteadyShot
image stabilization system to minimize the appearance of camera shake for
sharper handheld shooting, and this system can pair with select cameras'
sensor-shift image stabilization for even more effective blur control. Suiting
both stills and video shooting, a Direct Drive Super Sonic wave AF motor, along
with an internal focusing design, provides quick and quiet focusing performance
as well as natural manual focus control. Additionally, this also features a
weather-resistant physical construction, along with a fluorine-coated front
element, to enable its use in trying weather conditions.
Covering a versatile wide-angle to
short-telephoto range, this 24-105mm lens is designed for full-frame E-mount
mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it
provides a 36-157.5mm equivalent focal length range.
A constant f/4 maximum aperture
offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also lends greater
control over focus position for shallow depth of field techniques.
Four aspherical elements are
featured in the optical design and two of which are designated as Advanced
Aspherical elements to noticeably reduce spherical aberrations and distortion
throughout the zoom range for improved sharpness and clarity.
Three extra-low dispersion
elements are also used to minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations for
greater color accuracy.
A Nano AR Coating has been applied
to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and
color rendering in strong lighting conditions.
Optical SteadyShot image
stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper
imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization
system can also be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image
stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.
A Direct Drive Super Sonic wave AF
motor and internal focus mechanism provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus
performance and also contribute to more natural, intuitive manual focus
control.
A focus hold button and AF/MF
switch are present on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid
access to select settings.
A dust- and moisture-sealed design
better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings
benefit handling in colder temperatures.
The front lens element features a
fluorine coating to protect against smudges and dust from adhering to the glass
surface.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm
contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus
techniques.
