    Product Description

    Product Description

    A full-frame24mm to 240mm zoom range allows this one lens to cover an extensive variety of shooting situations with 10x effective zoom range, making it ideal for landscape, snapshots, portraits and travel where reducing luggage is a priority. The ability to switch from wide angle to telephoto without having to change lenses also means that more of those fleeting moments that make great shots will be captured. The advanced optics include 5 a spherical elements and 1 ED glass element, achieving high-quality performance in a compact overall design. An advanced linear motor drives the focusing mechanism for quick, smooth response throughout the extended zoom range. Handheld telephoto shots and low-light photography are facilitated by built-in Optical Steady Shot (OSS) image stabilization. Like all other FE lenses, the design is dust and moisture resistant.

Handheld telephoto shots and low-light photography are facilitated by built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization. Like all other FE lenses, the design is dust and moisture resistant. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter. Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills. 2015 Sony Electronics All rights reserved.

    Additional Features

    Circular Aperture

    When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.

    Aspherical lens elements

    Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight.

    Internal focusing

    Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter.


    Lens-based optical image stabilization

    Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills.

    GREAT all-in-one lens!
    5 Stars
    GREAT all-in-one lens!
    I use the Sony A7RII. This lens works great on this camera.The f-stops go accordingly: 24mm f3.5 --- 40mm f4.5 --- 60mm f5.0 --- 70mm f5.6 --- 105mm f6.3 --- 240mm f6.3. Although not exact that is the positions that you’ll get the f-stops occurring.I understand that this lens isn’t the sharpest out there and they are probably correct about that but what I see on the camera and PC is very impressive. Unless you’re a pixel peeper it will be somewhat difficult to see the difference with the naked eye but for my purposes, this lens has excellent sharpness outdoors. I say outdoors because indoors the picture does get noticeable degradation in picture quality but that is the case regardless of the lens you use depending on low light conditions.It is understood that the Sony 24-240 is not too well suited for low light conditions but in my initial tests inside with only incandescent lights I find that the quality is not bad even at an ISO setting of 3200. In that setting, indoors, I find this lens is still pretty decent but how many people shoot indoors. I would think that most people do their photography outside in daylight hours which is another story for, then, you can expect the quality of your photos to go up tremendously. I know mine does.For me, I love to take a photo of the moon now and then. Doing so with this lens is totally acceptable. It may not do as good a job as some of the others but for my purposes it is great. Although this lens is rated at 240mm it is possible, at least with Sony A7RII, to get a focal length of 360mm with this same lens. How? Simply go to your camera settings (this may be different in other Sony models), the one that looks like a gear, and choose file option titled, ‘APS-C/Super 35mm’ and set that to ‘ON’. Doing so will treat this FULL FRAME lens as if you had a CROP lens on it and so the camera sees the lens, not as a 240mm full-frame but a 360mm crop sensor. Although in crop mode you can only shoot JPG, not RAW, you can still get a decent picture of the moon or other distant objects that are too far.I noticed in one post a gentleman said that the mount was flimsy in that it had a loose fit. Unless that is a manufacturing defect mine fit just as snug as all my other lenses so no problem there.As for picture quality, I heard several folks say that the photos were either blurry or not up to standards as far as being sharp. Like I said earlier, even though this lens may not be the best, I find the one I have to be quite sharp and not nearly as bad as what the other folks are saying in their respective reviews.Also, this lens is a very good all-around go-to lens. Instead of carrying several lenses around and replacing them when needed, you can do it all with this lens. You have your selection of 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 240mm. If you’re like me, one who takes photos for pleasure rather than a professional photographer who makes their living off of photography, then this lens is more than adequate for 97% of my needs.Overall, I am pleasantly satisfied with this lens. It’s especially good to have when you need a longer focal length that will enable you to bring stuff up closer when the need arises. And, if by chance, I need something with a wider aperture such as f1.8 or lower I can always fall back on the lens I have on hand that accommodates for that. Since I rarely shoot indoors, I find that I don’t need those other lenses all that often.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Super Zoom and Excellent IQ and Range for All Day Carry
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2015
    The best super zoom I've ever used. I tested the lens the day I received it and then shared about a dozen images from a photowalk. Others were impressed as well. Lens is bright and focuses fairly quickly locking on to subject with no hunting. IQ is quite impressive. The lens is sharp, contrasty and has excellent color. The range is perfect for a day outing or travel. In a 2-3 hour photowalk I rarely found myself needing or wanting anything wider or longer. One exception was at a local pond where I could have used a 500mm to capture a fisherman on the far bank. But that's not a carry-around lens. The zoom ring is a bit stiff out of the box but I think that will break-in over time. I've seen that before with new lenses. Either way, it's fine as you won't find this lens creeping much.

    Packaging is minimal but the plus side is that it's quick to unpack. Unlike some other Sony lenses and particularly the Zeiss, the box just barely fits the lens. Inside you find the typical literature and the lens itself wrapped in a small bubble wrap bag. No additional cardboard bracing, no lens bag, no extra protection. This is true minimalist packaging. Thankfully mine came from Amazon packed in a larger box with some other items (soft items).

    I've used super zooms from Canon, Tamron, Sigma and several others and have never felt that I was getting this level of performance. Of course, this lens costs a good deal more than the others but it shows in build quality and image quality.

    Strengths:
    Outstanding Image Quality
    Excellent Build Quality
    Excellent Range
    Ideal Carry Lens for All Day Outing

    Cons:
    A bit on the heavy side can leave a small body feeling unbalanced
    Packing was minimal. Thin cardboard box and some bubble wrap
    Zoom is stiff right out of the box, hoping it breaks in

    cannon 6D markⅡを使っていたが、
    コンパクト感が良いと思い
    Sony ミラリスcameraに替えました。
    標準ズームレンズよりもっと距離感が
    欲しくて色んな事を悩んだ末
    このレンズを選びました。
    新品なのに箱が古くてレンズの包装も
    ビニルだけで巻いていたので
    ちょっとがっかりしました。
    レンズは新品の様には見えます。
    これからの撮影が楽しみです。
