Ofcourse the new Sony 20-70mm F4 lens is a brilliant lens but is the Sony 24-105mm F4 a better choice? What are your thoughts? Realistically it is always the right tool for the right job and these two lenses have different focal lengths which means it isn't exactly apples to apples.

great job buddy I concur with your assessments I paired my 24-105 with my A7IV along with my 50mm 1.2GM that's probably 90% of my shots
-
Great info thank you 🙏
-
Hey, love your content! Wbats this website you are using to see the prices?
-
Great comparison, thanks for sharing all the great info👍🏽
-
Thanks for this video! Great info!
-
Thanks for the video! Exactly the one that I have been waiting for! Cheers!đź‘Ť
-
Nice and beautiful work, i have A7Cll, can i get stabilization benefits if i got 24-105 OSS please?
-
Ive been shooting the 24-105 on my A7R2 for about 2 years now and it's absolutely amazing! Not only does it take great photos but Its a fantastic Video shooter! I love that lens so much it's tough to put my new Sony 85mm 1.8 which is great too on my camera lol...just goes to show you how awesome Sony is at making these premium lens ....great video bro
-
Ive had the the Sony 24-70 4 for docu style shooting and there have been so many times where i just needed a little extra reach (aside from clear image zoom) I wish i had the Sony 24-105 4
-
Good video, but you didn't mention weight unless I missed that part. I have the 24-105 and it's a heavy beast. The 20-70 looks smaller so is probably lighter.
-
Really hope there will be an FE 24-105 F4 II with XD motors, improved optics, and aperture ring. OSS is what I want for the FX6.
-
Thanks for the comparison Jason, amazing video! Makes me feel better about my Sony 24-105 F4 :D Although I mostly use the 35 1.4 GM I still keep the 24-105 F4 as an allrounder with me. Despite F4 24-105 is still the jack of all trades and the master of none zoom focal length in my opinion.

Hi Jason, and thanks so much for this. It's just what I'm needing right now. My question to you. I'm traveling to Portugal this year and I want to pick the best all around lens to take with my Sony A7r III. I already have the Sony/Zeiss 24-70mm f4. You mentioned if you already had the 24-105 you would keep that. I had that lens and loved it but ended up selling it and keeping the 24-70. What would be your advice here? Keep the 24-70 for this trip? Trade for the 20-70 or even the 24-105 for this trip that will be mostly landscape photography in Algarve Portugal? How would you go? THANKS!!!

When I need a wider angle than 20mm, I rely on the Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical III. For close-up shots, I use the FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS. However, the FE 20-70mm f/4 G is my go-to zoom lens for most situations. It's the best zoom lens I've ever owned and it's perfectly suited to my needs.
-
What about comparing the 20-70mm f4 to Tamron’s 20-40mm f/2.8?
-
Really appreciate this comparison, especially from a content creator that promotes new products. It’s sooo refreshing to hear someone say that you dont really need this “new” gear if you are using something already that works. There will be some folks that want that wide 20mm, but most will be just fine with the 24. Thx for all u do!!
-
Wonder if I already have the Sony 24 to 240mm that the 20 to 70mm might be a better option for me?
-
I’ve got the 24-105 f/4 and the 20-70 on order and I might just keep both of them. The 24-105 is a great all around lens on my FX6 due to the stabilization, like you said.
-
I feel like the new 20-70mm F/4 lens is more for videographers than photographers. That wide angle shot can help out with cropped mode and active steady-shot. I would rather use the 20-70mm lens since its newer and has a liner motor compare to the 24-105mm direct motor. I'm also not sure if OSS works together with the camera because when testing it out, I didn't notice any changes to the videos. Sony's camera already has 5.5 steps of ibis, adding a lens with OSS should add 1 more step to it to make it at least 6.5 steps of ibis. For sure on non-ibis cameras like a6400 and FX6, the OSS will help greatly. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with either lenses and will just depend on your needs. Having that extra 71-105mm reach is great for both photo and video compare to an extra 4mm in the wide section.

I had the 24-105, the Sigma 24-70 and just got the 20-70 F4. To me is the best of them all for traveling.
