The Sony 24-105 f4 G lens is the most undervalued and underrated lens Sony makes. No other lens packs the features and image quality for the price. Join me on a journey to Mendenhall Glacier to see why the Sony 24-105mm is probably the best lens you can invest in for photo and video work.

For my current A1, A7RV, A9III, I currently have 13 fullframe E-mount lenses covering 10mm to 600mm from Sony (GM and G), Sigma Art, Tamron, Viltrox, Laowa. My Sony 24-105mm f4 G OSS is my most used lens of all of them for subjects I photograph around the world. It is sharp, with silent and fast autofocus, great OSS, super versatile. It is also Sony's biggest selling fullframe lens in the world, for good reasons. . Cheers

@yukonchris 3 месяца назад

Nice video. I lived in the Yukon Territory for almost fifty years and I remember the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau almost forty years ago. We hiked right up to the terminus of the glacier and then beyond by following the high ground adjacent to the ice. I even remember getting between the glacier and the rock walls that constrained it. In those days, it looked much bigger than it appears in your video. I imagine that it has retreated quite a ways since then. The thing that stuck with me the most, though, was how a hot summer day could become instantly freezing cold when you went into one of those caves or spaces where the glacier met the rock walls of the valley. As for camera gear, I shoot with Olympus and Canon, but I've been questioning my choice of gear on the Canon side especially. I'm really disappointed with the lack of support for third-party lenses on the RF mount. The obvious full-frame alternative is Sony due to its much more open lens mount ecosystem. It's also good to know that Sony has a native 24-105mm available. I have the 24-105mm f/4.0L for my EOS camera, and it is definitely the highpoint of the Canon system. An excellent lens! I can't help but wonder how the two compare. Anyway, thanks for a great video.

@JakeSloan 3 месяца назад

TRaymond Understood, for your hike and shoot world. The majority of my documentary work is very different to yours. Last week, I had the FX6 with PZ 16-35 set up on an RS3 gimbal, with the Steadimate attachment to my Steadicam vest and arm. Filming walk and talk on a beach, sending video to the director with a Hollyland 4K transmitter. Also using the Inspire 2 for aerials, but looking to the Mavic 3 Pro Cine in case we have to walk in to a shoot (My old Mavic Pro V1, is only used for flight training assistants).

And his eye is a perfect marble, entirely in focus. I was shocked as I shot it at a slow speed. The OSS and IBIS really did its job. A new version, smaller and lighter with aperture ring, along with OSS, should be on Sony's roster. It is as good as you say.

It forces me to ditch the VND and having to constantly changing my filters while it's raining, snowing, sunny as you know what they say in the mountains about weather...."wait five minutes."

@davidligon6088 4 месяца назад

I had the 24-105. I loved the lens, it does everything pretty well. Then I bought the Tamron 28-200. It does MORE pretty well - for a still photographer. The 28-200 range is super useful, and the f/2.8 is useful for the wide focal lengths while I don’t really miss the 24-28 range. The Tamron has a bit more color fringing in the wider focal ranges (28-35), but I rarely shoot less than F8 for landscape. I currently use, primarily, the 14 GM, 20-70 G and 70-200 Macro G II combination, or the 28-200 if I am carrying a single lens. I gave the 24-105 to my daughter and to reiterate my first sentence, I loved it and miss it occasionally. It just does not fit my current stable. I am hoping Sony replaces their mediocre 24-240 with a 24-200 F4 (or F2.8-5.6) so I can replace the Tamron. I would also consider buying a good, light weight, sharp 20-105 F4 G, with stabilization, in a heartbeat. It would be the perfect pair with the 100-400 GM for my needs.

I’d go with the 20-70. If you crop in at 70, to a 105 FOV it’s still shaper then the 24-105 (see Toneh’s review). It’s a more modern design too.

@JakeSloan 4 месяца назад

yes but it lacks the OSS in the lens which helps a LOT with handheld shots on sony bodies without dynamic active stabilization or active stabilization. That said I did test the 20-70 quite a bit (you can see a video on my channel about it) and I really like it. fantastic lens and I hope some of it carries over to the next gen 24-105

My 24-70 GM is sharper than my 24-105mm G lens. But that's for close subjects. Haven't actually compared for landscape distances...or anything over 10' from the camera, so can't answer for that. And yes, a one lens comparison is not statistically valid.

Interesting observation... 24-105G and 24-70GMii has approximately the same size and weight, but in hands 24-70GMii feels lighter and more balanced. In my opinion 24-70GMii has perfect balance. It looks like 24-105 has more weight in the front of a lens, so it feels frontheavy and less comfortable.

I'm a prime lens guy and i have a lot of primes, and in my opinion zoom lens should be versatile. It will never give you the same fast aperture as primes, but it will give you versatility. So to me it looks like 24-70 is not as versatile as 24-105, but because of F2.8 it is also not as beautiful as F1.4 primes. So in my opinion 24-105 has this perfect balance of versatility and good image quality. But i'm mostly make photos with people. If your main focus is landscapes so 24-105 is even more attractive

@JakeSloan 3 месяца назад

true

@sokkerjeff 4 месяца назад

I don't do video, so I can't compare there, but for photos, I'll take my Tamron 28-200 over the Sony 24-105 all day long. It actually has a wider aperture than the Sony from 28-53mm (f2.8-3.5). It is equal (f4) to the Sony from 54mm-77mm. And it's only a half stop slower (f4.5) from 78-105mm. And THEN, you get 106-200mm of additional zoom, running from f4.5-5.6. Incredibly versatile, great IQ, and yet it's lighter and $500 cheaper ($600 cheaper right now, as Tamron is running a $100 off sale). Yes, I sacrifice the wide end 24-27mm focal length that the Sony has, but I prefer the significantly longer zoom at the telephoto end. The Tamron 28-200, like the Sony 24-105, is truly underrated. It's a terrific, single-lens travel option, and an easy, versatile, all-day carry.

@JakeSloan 4 месяца назад

agreed the 28-200 is a TERRIFIC lens especially if you are more photo focused. where I think the 24-105 beats the 28-200 is handheld video purely because of the extra stabilization you get from the lens.

@evenhandedcommentor6102 4 месяца назад

I have the 24-105mm G and the original 24-70mm GM. Sorry, but the GM is sharper. I've also tested a second copy of the 24-105mm and it was identical to the first copy. When I say testing, I'm using MTP mapper to produce my own charts. The one caveat to all of this is distance to subject. The test chart is close. I'm using both of these lenses for close subjects, not landscapes. For subjects at moderate to great distance...the results could be very different.

@JakeSloan 4 месяца назад

it better be, it was 2x the price and it's Sony's GM line (top shelf) not the G line, I would hope it would be sharper. Also this is not a comparison video, just a video showcasing what the 24-105 is capable of. Are you using them for macro stuff or just very close subjects (portraits etc) Thanks for watching!

@evenhandedcommentor6102 4 месяца назад

@@JakeSloan I'm using the 24-105 for close subjects for which 70mm is just not long enough. The GM is not great at 70mm anyway...but the G is worse, but maybe I'm being too demanding. I just got the 70-200mm GM II. That lens kicks some serious butt, but it's better with a bit of distance, not real close. Probably the new 70-200mm Macro would work the best close up, but I also want the 70-200mm to do more than just closeups, and I have the teleconverters to use with it. I have more than one camera and I use remotes for closeups. So, I will continue to use the 24-105mm and the new 70-200mm with remotes...and the 70-200mm without remotes.

@@JakeSloan I went ahead an ordered one from eBay. There's another parfocal test that I found as well. Thank you Jake! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSu-kGxgl7Q.htmlsi=oeBiwxh8Rd_xasDH

I'm a beginner and taking my family to Hawaii in late July. Is this the lens you would recommend for preserving photo and video memories of the kids (portrait), the kids in action at the beach/zipline, and landscapes? Thanks. Fantastic review. This lens is in my cart, but I'll wait for your response. Thanks again!
