What is the maximum aperture at full length ?
Read what’s written on the lens.
So f6.3.
Thank you for your comment. Very helpful. If all readers were as sharp (and sharp witted) as yourself the editors of this fine blog will no longer have to give out focal lengths. They do tend, after all, to be written on the side, and indeed the front, of most lenses.
Speak for yourself, the apertures are listed in the article, don’t blame others for your inability to read. Please tell me which part of this list was too hard for you to read:
– Focal length: 24-240mm- Aperture: f/3.5-6.3
– Minimum aperture: f / 22
– Filter size: 72mm
– Number of diaphragm blades: 9
– Focus on APS-C: 36mm to 360mm
– Minimum focus distance: 50centimeter
– Optica Steady Shot
– Weight: 780gram
When I posted this it merely said f3.5 and this has since been rectified. Hence my question. The previous poster had a slightly sarcastic answer and I thought I’d join him. My apologies for not pixel peeping on a cheap phone screen. I’m glad that this now resolved issue gave you the opportunity to demonstrate your very impressive cutting and pasting skills .
This lens has been announced since September…
Where have you been all this time?
240mm instead of 120mm? If the minimum focus distance is indeed 50cm across the zoom range, this could be a very nice option for butterflies. The Oly 50-150/2.8 focusses down to 70cm to give a 0.21x magnification.
If it is actually 50cm at 240mm, I doubt that, it will probably be 1.2meter at 240mm.
780 gr. 🙂 i was hoping for more like 580 gr. chance…
tell me when get’s dxomarked 🙂 and i’ll reconsider and go for 24-70………. + 70-200 in near future 🙂 i want nice 24mm and the zeiss has it.
@admin: Any “real Rumors at the A-mount front?
could you please ask your A-mount source, it’s already march.
Thanks
Only two updated A-mount lens to come soon…
Probably another awful focus by software load of rubbish, nice range but I really dislike sony zooms for video and even discovered that pretty much every complaint voices here has merit: the lens mount on the A7S IS wobbly, terrible even when using a good old fashioned manual focus lens, the manual focus system on the 24-70 and 70-200 are horrible, the camera without battery grip is too small and the EVF is not nearly as sharp as it should be. Also the stupid focus peaking is usually off.
What I want from sony is a A7SII with IBIS and at least 100Mbit codec for 1080P 600mbit 4K internal. They can keep their stupid lenses.
man, for once i would have loved a fast zoom, or even a steady aperture in the realms of f3.xx, with the compromise of a lower tele end than 240mm… nevermind the size – as a zoom it’s already gonna be large so what do 2cm more matter. that’s the reciproke of what she said, tho.
This 10x lens will do EVERYTHING spectacularly average!!!
Mediocre people are lining up for this lens and posting their ordinary photos of mundane places, common people and unexceptional compositions.
Not one of them will ever realize, notice or complain about this lens. It’s exactly what they wanted to avoid disrupting their Cheez Whiz and creamed corn junk lifestyles.

Trolly etc,
“Mediocre people are lining up for this lens and posting their ordinary photos of mundane places, common people and unexceptional compositions.” I suppose I am one of those ‘Mediocre people’ you are referring to. Please check out my followup comment I posted this morning to my article. Sorry I dispelled your condescending prediction. “Not one of them will ever realize, notice or complain about this lens.”
780g is about the same as Nikon 28-300/3.5-5.6m the lens both longer and faster and which had to be made for long DSLR mount. What is wrong with Sony?
Maybe it’s better built with less plastic? Though it seems overpriced, the build seems as good as it’s gonna get on a superzoom.
It is not claimed to be Zeiss or even G, why it would not be plastic?
Because it would be even more overpriced? Come to think of it nobody said that the shine comes from metal…God, damn, that’d be one big ripoff…
No stop misleading me! Even the NEX kit lenses have a metal shell!
16-50 PZ is plastic. I am sure SEL1850 (not 1855) is also plastic.
Well the 1855 is metal, my NEX 7 had this as a kit lens and it chipped a little, underneath the black paint is metal I’m positive.
The 55-210 version 1 was also rubber rings on metal skin, don’t know about latter versions or the 18-200s though.
”
(SR5) First full specs and images”
Neither the images are the first, nor the specs are full – where are the sizes?
what about the Sony 50mm f/1.8 with extension tubes on APS-C camera… it will cost the 3rd of the price 😀 of this new 90mm
Think I’m going to buy this thing. It’ll be my only FE lens because I have plenty of adaptable glass. I need a lens for when I’m to lazy and drunk to use a prime. Just want to know if it’s still at 3.5 at 50mm.
Assuming it’s going to get a USD price tag close to the Euro price tag (like usual) then this will be similarly priced to the APS-C superzooms…
I have some shots with the new 24-240mm Sony lens I took this morning with my Sony A7R.
