The Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens is the ultimate walk-around zoom for Sony full-frame mirrorless shooters, delivering a versatile 24-105mm focal range with a reliable constant f/4 aperture — perfect for travel, street, event, and everyday photography. Built to G Lens standards, it combines four aspherical elements, three ED glass elements, and Nano AR plus Fluorine coatings to produce images with exceptional sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy from edge to edge.
Handling is just as impressive as the optics: Optical SteadyShot image stabilization keeps handheld shots crisp at slower shutter speeds, while the Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave AF motor delivers fast, whisper-quiet autofocus for both stills and video. A dust- and moisture-resistant construction, focus hold button, and AF/MF switch round out a lens engineered for real-world shooting demands.
Key features
- Versatile 24-105mm Constant f/4 Zoom: Covers wide-angle to short-telephoto in a single lens with consistent f/4 brightness throughout the entire zoom range for reliable exposure and shallow depth-of-field control.
- G Lens Optical Excellence: Four aspherical elements (including two Advanced Aspherical) and three ED elements work together to suppress distortion, chromatic aberration, and color fringing for razor-sharp, color-accurate images.
- Nano AR & Fluorine Coatings: Nano AR Coating dramatically reduces flare and ghosting in high-contrast lighting, while the Fluorine front-element coating repels dust, moisture, and smudges for low-maintenance shooting.
- Optical SteadyShot Stabilization: Built-in OSS minimizes camera shake during handheld shooting and can be combined with select cameras' sensor-shift stabilization for even greater blur reduction.
- Fast, Silent Direct Drive AF: The Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave motor with internal focus design ensures quick, quiet, and precise autofocus — ideal for video recording and discreet street photography.
- Weather-Sealed Build with Intuitive Controls: Dust- and moisture-resistant construction, rubberized control rings, a dedicated focus hold button, and an AF/MF switch make this lens reliable in challenging conditions and easy to operate in the field.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS compatible with APS-C Sony cameras?
Yes. The lens uses the Sony E-Mount and is designed for full-frame Sony cameras, but it is fully compatible with APS-C E-Mount bodies as well, where it provides an equivalent focal range of approximately 36-157mm.
How effective is the image stabilization on the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS?
The lens features Sony Optical SteadyShot (OSS) built-in stabilization that compensates for camera shake during handheld shooting. On compatible Sony bodies with sensor-shift stabilization (IBIS), both systems work in tandem for even more effective blur reduction, making it an excellent choice for low-light or slow-shutter-speed shooting.
Can the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS be used for close-up or macro photography?
While not a dedicated macro lens, it has a minimum focusing distance of 1.25 ft (approximately 0.38 m) and achieves a maximum magnification of 0.31x, making it well-suited for close-up detail shots of flowers, food, or small objects.
