Review on Sony SEL24240 24 240Mm 3 5 6 3 Mirrorless by Malacia Hernandez

I've had this lens for a few months now and have used it in a variety of situations. This review will break down the questions to ask yourself before purchasing this lens, as well as the pros and cons I found when using it. Brace yourself, it'll be long but necessary if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars. Questions: Do you have a full frame or crop camera? What is your environment or the environment where you will be filming? What will your topic be? If you have a multi-lens camera, is this lens right for you? Do you also do videos? The answers to these questions are up to you. If you have a Sony A5000-6500 series or an A7r II, the 18-200mm lens is a better choice as it is designed for a crop sensor. You get wide-angle and telephoto shots in one, as the crop factor for this full-frame lens increases the focal length by 1.5x, making it effectively 36-360mm instead of 24-240mm. However, if you're looking for a longer focal length, there are better solutions than this lens for about $70 more at your local camera/electronics store (I recommend the G 70-300mm lens). This lens (24mm-240mm) works best. in bright conditions. If you're shooting in a dry environment, this saves you the hassle of changing lenses, which is a plus for protecting the sensor from dirt and debris. It doesn't work well in low light when you're trying to lower your ISO or use a faster shutter speed. In such situations, he also seeks the focus. Works great in the city, works pretty well in the backcountry. Tourists or traveling photographers should be aware that this is a heavy lens. This will tilt the tripod, requiring you to tilt it higher to compensate for the tilt. Also, for cameramen/videographers or anyone who wants to record video, it cannot be used effectively on a gimbal. Handheld video is also affected by excessive camera shake when zooming in, even with OSS and main camera image stabilization (IBIS). Those who intend to use this lens for close-up photography or as a secondary macro lens should be aware of this. that the minimum focal length (MFD) is 1.6 feet but increases to 3 feet at the end of the focal length. This means that at 300mm you need to be at least 3 feet away from your subject in order to bring them into focus. Auto focus time (AFT) and manual focus time (MFT) are not very fast. In addition, this lens has one of the lowest resale prices on the market as it is returned frequently. Covering a wide range of focal lengths, it doesn't capture the best of the best when it comes to portraits, landscapes, macro photography, etc. That's why the market for fixed focal length lenses still exists. The approximate resale value is between 50% and 70% of the market value. So while it's a very well made and great multi-purpose lens, it does have its niche in the market and so does the use. Pros: - Wide range of focal lengths! - Quality build - Rigid zoom ring in environments full of dirt - Prevents constant lens changes - Produces excellent image quality (excellent, not excellent) - OSS - Dust and moisture resistant (not dirt resistant!) Cons: - Expensive - Heavy - Poor resale value - None particularly good thing - Poor AFT/MFT - Poor MFD (like other options in this price range) - Leaky lens Recommendations: For Sony ASP-C users; The 18-200mm is better for the focal lengths you need if this lens is for you. For videos; 18mm - 105mm G lens Internal focusing with powerful zoom for $600. Preserves the integrity and balance of the video on the gimbal. For telephoto - close-up photography; Sony 70-300mm F4 G Lens. Available for $925 when you shop, buy used, or match the price. Significantly better AFT/MFT and reduced MFD at the end of the focal length. For macro - portrait; Macro lens Sony 90mm F2.8. quality, quality, quality. Excellent close-ups and the best portraits. For ultra-wide landscapes/architecture/interiors; Rokinon 12mm F2. Sharp, handmade, cheap, great build quality (PHOTO ONLY). For ultra wide-angle videos, use Sony's 12-24mm F4 lens. Very expensive. Try to buy used. The best of the best. How to replace the kit lens; Vario Tessar T* 16-70mm F4. A superb overall lens, incredibly sharp and with accurate color reproduction. Despite the external zoom, the zoom ring is very smooth for easy transitions. Tips: If you want to increase the focal length further, you can do it digitally in your camera with the Clear Image function. This preserves the integrity of the image by allowing for a closer capture. You will lose the ability to shoot in RAW, but if you use an S-LOG image profile with Cont. In bracketing, HDR or DRO bracketing modes, the reduction in image quality is minimal. Sony recommends using "Neutral Creative Style" for photos when doing post-processing, but I've found the picture profile setting (which is recommended for video), specifically PP7-PP9, to be more effective in post-processing. If you have a Sony a6000 or below you will need to resort to Neutral Creative Style as your camera does not have a picture profile function. Hope this helped! Take care!
