It’s insane how tiny the middle elements are for this lens.
I bought 2. Now I have a 24 -240 and a 48 – 480mm. Check out this shot I made with my A6000 zoomed in to 480mm x 1.5 crop factor = 720mm. Let’s see Nikon deliver this handheld.
Not bad, Anton…
Doesn’t really look as big as I thought. And before anyone tries beating me to the punch line….”That’s what she said.”
It’s almost twice the weight of the FE2470Z. Can imagine it might feel really unbalanced, IQ wise though it’s looking really good for a superzoom.
If you place the support hand at the center of gravity it will feel balanced with any lens. Try it.
I too say “that’s what she said” when I don’t want to be beaten down… It’s a good excuse… but in my case it doesn’t really work in the real world… 🙂
But wait, watch how long it extends at 240mm. I’m sure she’ll be impressed lol
You might want to consider getting a prescription for a good pair of glasses…. 😛
If you’re looking at the lower images showing the A7 with lens, note that is the 28-70. The 24-240 is massive in comparison.
I really hope everyone has noticed that…
This lens is HUGE, both in size and weight for an A7xx body, also considering it’s to be a travel lens! IMHO Sony should have a version without OSS for A7II users which could be lighter, a bit smaller and cost less.
Oh yeah, a full 4mm longer than the Nikon 28-300mm, and -gasp- 20mm longer than the 16-35mm! How do they expect me to squeeze this monster into a carry-on bag? And 260g heavier than the 16-35mm for only 5x more zoom range? This lens is ridiculous!
I wonder hows the quality…
My 24-240 is now in my hands! Thanks to SAR I preordered it from B&H the instant it was offered. The build quality is well beyond what I imagined (that goes for the weight as well). It’s not much larger than my 16-35. I’m glad I updated to the A7II, because this lens needs that extra grip!
Lucky you!
Preordered it from Amazon…no word of shipment yet.
