Honestly, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this lens and a new one. I'm very happy with my life lens!

I bought this lens as an all around upgrade for my kit lens on a A6000. Fast forward a few years, this lens is my all around workhorse. Wide enough for landscape, crisp for portraits, and great clarity for those must capture moments from across the room at events. It's now married to an A7rIII and for the price, I couldn't be happier with this setup.

This is an excellent lens to start with for the Sony A7IV camera. You have sufficient range to shoot wide and take telephotos. The lens is lightweight. It isn't as fast as the F2.8 or F1.8 type of lenses, but that isn't an issue for outside photos which are my primary interest. The filters provided are both of good build quality. I would recommend this lens to anyone changing to a mirrorless camera.

Bought this with a new FX6 camera. First job was to film a cycle race. Very fast auto focus and sharp images. Rock solid workhorse.

I had been looking for a super-zoom lens for a while mostly for the convenience of only having to carry the one lens and not having to stop and change lenses. This one is perfect for that. The range it offers is fantastic, plenty wide enough for most landscape shots and able to zoom right in for things in the distance as well. I don't think there is anything else available for Sony full frame cameras with a wider range. While looking around I read a lot of reviews and was a bit concerned that some of them weren't impressed with the image quality, but I haven't found any problems. I do have some prime lenses that are sharper, but I find this one is plenty sharp enough for most normal situations and can even make some pleasant out of focus backgrounds when zoomed in. The auto focus also seems to work quickly and actually making the lens easy to use. The fact that the lens folds down when zoomed out helps to make it easier to carry, though it is a little on the heavy side.

Bought secondhand as an ideal travel lens. A reasonable size, not too heavy and good feel on an A7RV body. I'm a little disappointed with the image quality though. Having come from Nikon mirrorless, their 24-200 has much better image quality. Perhaps this lens is in need of a refresh.

I bought this lens about 5 years ago. Used for lot of my bird shoots but now I have 300mm to 600mm but it weights 7 pounds.

I bought this lens to replace a faulty 28-70mm lens (I dropped it). Although this new one is heavier it means I rarely need to also take my 55-210mm lens with me when I go out as I now have this one lens covering the range of the other two. Even better - when fitted to my A7 it still fits into my shoulder bag.

Bought in May 2023 via John Lewis. Useful to have wide angle to Zoom all in one lense.

Love the 24 to 240 range, its the lense I use most all the time. Makes taking pictures in any situation, (close up or far away) easy with out needing to swap lenses or carry and extra body and lense.

I bought this as a general purpose lens I can take on holiday, its focal range is ideal. The picture quality is acceptable for the type of images I take whilst on vacation

I wanted a lens that covered a wide focal range, the FE 24-240mm does just that, it?s the right size and weight and compliments my A7 IV body perfectly. The operator is smooth, fast and pin sharp. My first outing was outside shooting at the longest focal range in overcast conditions, this did not phase the lens at all, the photo results have been excellent. This lens is competitively price, and is worth every penny. A great Sony lens.

Got this a a free promotional item when purchasing the Sony 24-240 lens. Filters seem good enough. The lens pouch is incredibly small. The Sony 24-240 is a 72mm lens. I couldn't get a 55mm lens in it.

Lens is well made and has a ?quality? feel and does the job admirably with expected limitations of a superzoom

bought this lens with my a7rii back in december 2018 and still using it no problem. ive used this lens for absolutely everything in virtually any condition. Ive fallen scaling hills while holding my camera, ive dropped my camera several times. even once while at the top of a tripod, lens hood broke in half and the outside plastic of the lens slightly cracked but thats it. ive shot in rain, snow, fog, day, night, down to -10C and up to 42C. its been through its fair share of dust/dirt clouds with very few specs that have gotten into the lens after years of using that only shows up at higher f-stops especially in the sky part of your pictures. ive done astrophotography, architecture, animals, landscape, real estate. this lens takes away the need to carry a backpack. this camera has a VERY important focus magnifier feature so you can make sure your picture is perfectly in focus to ensure quality when picture is blown up. you will know you took a good picture without any worry. only thing that could make this lens better is an upgraded version with a lower f-stop and an even wider zoom threshold.

I ummed and erred for a long while before buying this lens. I read many not so good reviews, in the end the incredible versatility was what pursueded me. I can carry one lens and cover a huge range of focal lengths, no swapping lenses at awkward moments or in difficult places - it allows me to concentrate on the task at hand, taking photos. The picture quality for an oppertunistic photographer is very good, more than acceptable. If you have the intent of "setting up" a photo, this is not your lenses, but if you you are out walking and want the option to take any photo, it is brilliant.

Coming to Sony from Nikon thisnis the perfect replacement for the nikkor 18-200 (crop) rock solid, good to focus creep and happy in the lake district shooting landscape or in Soho shooting streets. The first lens on your kit list.

At this stage in my ownership of this lens I can say in auto mode the pictures are pretty good. I feel they will be better using manual settings but I have not yet tried them, hence a part review.

As I have upgraded to Sony from Canon I needed a travel lens and this fits the bill.

This is a great 'all-in-one' lens which takes great pix. However, there are two 'faults' (ignoring the fact that it is expensive!). They are: i) Weight - this is a heavy lens. On my A7II the combination is pretty hefty. I might point out that I am big bloke, so this is not such an issue, but for someone of lighter stature this MAY prove to be a problem; ii) On my example, the zoom ring rubber is a horrible mottled grey/black colour combination, looks almost like it is perished. The rear ring is pure black (as you would expect). I'm still considering a warranty repair claim - I presume this is a one-off occurence. This was NOT a grey import, but sourced new from a major UK retailer. A lovely lens, then, but may not be suited to everybody. If you don't mind the weight, the other issue may not bother you, in which case I would recommend it.

The product is great in terms of versatility, giving an excellent range from wide to telephoto. For the 6000 series this represents an effective 36-360mm. The build quality of the lens is very good and feels pretty robust, with the only downside being the zoom ring. It is so tight, that when you change direction of turn the lens will move slightly on the mount. I have tried other copies of the lens and this was consistent across multiple lenses. For me this was a deal breaker as I found the effort required to adjust zoom was causing camera shake, particularly when zoomed in to the 200-240 mm range. I would advise trying this at a retail store to make sure you are OK with the zoom ring before purchase. Image quality is very good, though there is some loss of sharpness particularly in the corners at both ends of the zoom range. Overall a good lens, if you are OK with the stiff zoom ring.

Had to sell it after a couple of months. Not sharp at all, and slow to focus. Went for the Tamron 28-200mm instead as very sharp and smaller/lighter. Sorry SONY, this lens is definitely not worth the money.
