exomonkeyman Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hello There! So i got my A7RII and i also needed a lens/lenses that can replace my 18-55mm & 55-250mm KIT lenses on my canon 60DA lens that could deliver the same focal range for general photography (weddings, shows) just general event stuff really. So i got the FE 24-240mm but i dont wanna be a dick but i'm not rly in love with it considering that price tag (£800)Really stiff zoomNot great Manuel focus ringReally heavy (Big factor on such a small body like the A7RII)Very big (Big factor on such a small body like the A7RII)And an aperture that goes from 3.5 to 6.3 not all that amazingVery poor macro photographyThese are only big factors when i add that £800 price tag (got it for £619)Curios if there's maybe a better lens or lenses out there for around the same price?

jcs Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The 24-240 works pretty well on the A7S II, I think the zoom has loosened up a bit after using it. Image quality is very good, though as you noted close focus isn't great. The 18-200 (non EF/crop) works pretty well if you are OK shooting in crop mode. For run & gun, the 24-240 works pretty well. exomonkeyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
