This superzoom lens adds a convenient zoom option to Sony's burgeoning range of equipment for their full frame mirrorless cameras. The lens is well built, handles well and the addition of dust and moisture resistance is a welcome feature, as it the effective optical stabilisation.

Excellent build quality; Excellent sharpness in the centre of the frame; Effective optical stabilisation; Dust and moisture resistance

Sharpness towards the edges of the frame isn't up to the standard set in the centre; CA levels are quite high; AF is slow compared to similar lenses for other systems; Can be prone to flare; Variable minimum focus distance; Not particularly compact; or lightweight

The new FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS is aimed at a user who values convenience very highly. It is a lens with a 10x optical zoom range, and as such it can cover a huge variety of different shots, from landscapes and portraits to travel, and even at a push some wildlife and sports images.

I recently switched from Nikon D700 to a Sony A7II. Over the years I had acquired a lot of lenses for my Nikon. Starting over was rough but I am so happy I did.

With the 16-200mm focal length now covered at f/4 with a series of three zoom lenses – the Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS, Zeiss Vario...

Perfect, new, and flawless! This lens covers a lot of different focal lengths.

Like other extended-range zoom lens, the FE 24-240mm can cover everything from wide-angle landscapes to telephoto close-ups – and everything in between. The variable f/3.5-6.3 aperture helps keep lens size and weight relatively low for a lens with a 10x zoom range.
