Sony FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS SEL24240
The lens is decent in 24-70mm range, on the same level as 28-70mm kit lens. It's satisfactory upto about 100mm. Beyond that it degrades quickly and by 150mm it becomes very soft with poor resolution and contrast. It improves a bit by 240mm, but not by much.- 10x range
- optically poor
10x Zoom
Great quality lens for a 10x zoom. I bought to use on holiday and as a walk around lens on my Sony a7mk2 and possibly my a6300. It's a surprisingly large lens and heavier than expected but I'm pleased with the AF speed and sharpness. It's the best 10x ish zoom I've used.

All-in-one zoom lenses are popular options for APS-C cameras , as the optical sacrifices that come with long zoom ratios are often overlooked by less-exacting photographers. But they're not as common for full-frame systems, as owners tend to be more demanding and in search of top-end optics.- 10x zoom range
- Good center sharpness
- Weather-resistant design
- Optical stabilization
- Intense distortion when shooting Raw
- Soft edges throughout range
- Heavy

- Effective optical stabilisation
- Dust and moisture resistance
- Sharpness towards the edges of the frame isn't up to the standard set in the centre
- CA levels are quite high
- AF is slow compared to similar lenses for other systems
- Can be prone to flare
- Variable minimum focus distance
- Not particularly compact
- or lightweight
