A truly versatile all-arounder, the FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS is a wide-angle to short-telephoto zoom characterized by its constant f/4 maximum aperture and G series designation. An ideal choice for single-lens outings, the flexible range is complemented by an advanced optical layout that uses aspherical and low dispersion elements to produce well-corrected imagery. A Nano AR Coating also helps boost contrast and, in addition to a weather-sealed housing, a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front of the lens to guard against water stains and smudging. Additionally, this standard zoom has OSS to compensate for camera shake and a DDSSM helps to achieve apt focusing performance.
Applications: A beloved lens for many, this wide-angle to short-telephoto zoom has greater reach than a 24-70mm lens while still retaining a portable form factor and a constant f/4 maximum aperture. It’s a great single-lens solution for various subjects, ranging from landscape to portraiture, and OSS helps to reduce the effects of camera shake for low-light usage.
