I don't own that particular lens but own it's crop sensor E mount counterpart 18-105 F4 and found it a terrific travel and general purpose lens.\nI doubt you will regret the purchase.

Now I can't hold a candle to Mark Galer's images but here is a\nLink to my Album I shot last July\non San Juan Island using the Sony FE 24-105 lens. This was probably my first real use of my A7III after having started my Photography adventure 6 month prior to that trip. I now have an A7 IV as well as the A7III.\nIf you're not used to Flickr, here is a little Summary on how best to view images on Flickr. I love Flickr because they will never Down-Res your images. It's a really good place for Pixel Peeping to evaluate how sharp an image is.\nRecommended viewing method for Flickr:\nFrom the Albums page, Single Click or Tap the Album you would like to view\nNext, Single Click or Tap the upper left photo in the Album grid to expand the photo and expose the Caption which is below the photo. You may need to scroll down a little bit.\nMost photos can be clicked a second or third time to zoom in.\nNavigate through the photos by Clicking or Tapping the Right Arrow symbol at the right side of the picture to see the rest of the photos in the Album.\nSimilar threads\nForums\nCameras: Questions, Discussion & Image Showcase\nSony E-mount Full-Frame Cameras","attrs_markdown":"[![Sony Alpha Forums - AlphaShooters.com](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/data\/assets\/logo\/alpha-shooters-logo-txt-400px.png)](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/)\n\n[![Sony Alpha Forums - AlphaShooters.com](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/data\/assets\/logo\/alpha-shooters-logo-txt-400px.png) ![Sony Alpha Forums - AlphaShooters.com](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/data\/assets\/mobile-logo\/alpha-shooters-logo-100px.png)](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/)\n\n- [Blog & Resources](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/)\n  \n  [Latest News & Articles](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/) [Latest Deals](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/deals\/) [Camera Guides & Firmware](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/cameras\/) [Lens Guides & Firmware](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/e-mount-lenses\/) [Accessory Guides](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/accessories\/) [Memory Card Guides](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/memory-cards\/) [Lens Reviews](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/reviews\/) [Camera & Lens Comparisons](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/compare\/)\n- [Forums](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/)\n  \n  [New posts](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/posts\/) [Search forums](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/search\/?type=post)\n- [What's New](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/)\n  \n  [Latest activity](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/latest-activity) [New posts](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/posts\/) [New resources](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/resources\/) [New media](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/media\/)\n- [InstaView](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/instaview\/)\n- [Gallery](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/media\/)\n  \n  [New media](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/media\/) [Search media](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/search\/?type=xfmg_media)\n- [Marketplace](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/marketplace\/)\n\n[Log in](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/login\/)   [Register](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/register\/)\n\n[What's new](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/ \"What's new\")   [Search](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/search\/ \"Search\")\n\n- [New posts](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/whats-new\/posts\/)\n- [Search forums](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/search\/?type=post)\n\nMenu\n\n[Log in](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/login\/)\n***\n[Register](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/register\/)\n***\n\nCategories\n\nInstall the app\n\nInstall\n\nMore options\n\n[Light Style](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/misc\/style?style_id=27&t=1776443166%2C3f7cb23a148b1985b07cc4f043febf0e \"Light Style\")\n\n[Contact us](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/misc\/contact)\n\n[Close Menu]()\n\n### Welcome to Our Sony Alpha Shooters Forum\n#### Be apart of something great, join today\\!\n\n[Register](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/register\/)  [Log in](https:\/\/www.alphashooters.com\/community\/login\/)\n\n- [Our April Competition is Open for Entries.

[Here is a link to Mark Galer's Album](https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHsmatVJpz) on Flickr of images taken with the FE 24-105 G lens. Now I can't hold a candle to Mark Galer's images but here is a [Link to my Album I shot last July](https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHsmWeyEmD) on San Juan Island using the Sony FE 24-105 lens. This was probably my first real use of my A7III after having started my Photography adventure 6 month prior to that trip. I now have an A7 IV as well as the A7III.  \n   \n If you're not used to Flickr, here is a little Summary on how best to view images on Flickr. I love Flickr because they will never Down-Res your images. It's a really good place for Pixel Peeping to evaluate how sharp an image is.  \n   \n **Recommended viewing method for Flickr:**\n\n1. From the Albums page, Single Click or Tap the Album you would like to view\n2. Next, Single Click or Tap the upper left photo in the Album grid to expand the photo and expose the Caption which is below the photo. You may need to scroll down a little bit.\n3.

[Here is a link to Mark Galer's Album](https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHsmatVJpz) on Flickr of images taken with the FE 24-105 G lens. Now I can't hold a candle to Mark Galer's images but here is a [Link to my Album I shot last July](https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHsmWeyEmD) on San Juan Island using the Sony FE 24-105 lens. This was probably my first real use of my A7III after having started my Photography adventure 6 month prior to that trip. I now have an A7 IV as well as the A7III.\n\nIf you're not used to Flickr, here is a little Summary on how best to view images on Flickr. I love Flickr because they will never Down-Res your images. It's a really good place for Pixel Peeping to evaluate how sharp an image is.\n\n**Recommended viewing method for Flickr:**\n\n1. From the Albums page, Single Click or Tap the Album you would like to view\n2.

It depends on what you like to shoot but both of these are good options if you are looking for a zoom. The Sony 85 F1.8 is a cracking lens for a future additional prime consideration.

It's a well respected lens as per Jeff's previous comment and you won't find many bads words said about it online. I don't own that particular lens but own it's crop sensor E mount counterpart 18-105 F4 and found it a terrific travel and general purpose lens. I doubt you will regret the purchase. I couldn't work out how to sort through the image gallery here to find photos shot with that lens but here is bunch of photos on the reddit sonyalpha page taken with that lens Followers 34 Following 0 Joined Oct 31, 2020 Posts 1,627 Likes Received 1,004 Trophy Points 213 Name Jeff Country United States City/State Elk Grove, CA #15 Roxanne, if you ever want to see examples of images taken with various Sony lenses, you should become familiar with Mark Galer. Here is a link to Mark Galer's Album on Flickr of images taken with the FE 24-105 G lens. Now I can't hold a candle to Mark Galer's images but here is a Link to my Album I shot last July on San Juan Island using the Sony FE 24-105 lens. This was probably my first real use of my A7III after having started my Photography adventure 6 month prior to that trip. I now have an A7 IV as well as the A7III. If you're not used to Flickr, here is a little Summary on how best to view images on Flickr. I love Flickr because they will never Down-Res your images. It's a really good place for Pixel Peeping to evaluate how sharp an image is. Recommended viewing method for Flickr: From the Albums page, Single Click or Tap the Album you would like to view Next, Single Click or Tap the upper left photo in the Album grid to expand the photo and expose the Caption which is below the photo. You may need to scroll down a little bit. Most photos can be clicked a second or third time to zoom in. Navigate through the photos by Clicking or Tapping the Right Arrow symbol at the right side of the picture to see the rest of the photos in the Album.

My response did lean towards adressing the indoor low light use the OP was referring to, although we would all agree the low light performance of these sony sensors is quite good, having a couple of extra stops of light will help produce better images.

[Here is a link to Mark Galer's Album](https://flic.kr/s/aHsmatVJpz) on Flickr of images taken with the FE 24-105 G lens. Now I can't hold a candle to Mark Galer's images but here is a [Link to my Album I shot last July](https://flic.kr/s/aHsmWeyEmD) on San Juan Island using the Sony FE 24-105 lens. This was probably my first real use of my A7III after having started my Photography adventure 6 month prior to that trip. I now have an A7 IV as well as the A7III. If you're not used to Flickr, here is a little Summary on how best to view images on Flickr. I love Flickr because they will never Down-Res your images. It's a really good place for Pixel Peeping to evaluate how sharp an image is. Recommended viewing method for Flickr: 1. From the Albums page, Single Click or Tap the Album you would like to view 2. Next, Single Click or Tap the upper left photo in the Album grid to expand the photo and expose the Caption which is below the photo. You may need to scroll down a little bit. 3. Most photos can be clicked a second or third time to zoom in. 4. Navigate through the photos by Clicking or Tapping the Right Arrow symbol at the right side of the picture to see the rest of the photos in the Album.

It depends on what you like to shoot but both of these are good options if you are looking for a zoom. The Sony 85 F1.8 is a cracking lens for a future additional prime consideration.

Whatever you choose, do a Google search for reviews on your respective new glass. you'll find it informative and part of that education will be an insight to some of the reviewers themselves. Have fun. Oh, BTW, what part of central Oregon?

Does the 24-105 work well for that?

It's a well respected lens as per Jeff's previous comment and you won't find many bads words said about it online. I don't own that particular lens but own it's crop sensor E mount counterpart 18-105 F4 and found it a terrific travel and general purpose lens. I doubt you will regret the purchase. I couldn't work out how to sort through the image gallery here to find photos shot with that lens but here is [bunch of photos on the reddit sonyalpha page taken with that lens](https://old.reddit.com/r/SonyAlpha/search?q=FE+24-105&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all) [![Jeff A](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/data/avatars/m/1/1205.jpg?1604171269)](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/members/jeff-a.1205/) Followers 34 Following 0 Joined Oct 31, 2020 Posts 1,627 Likes Received 1,004 Trophy Points 213 Name Jeff Country United States City/State Elk Grove, CA - [\#15](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/threads/advice-for-new-a7iii-user-please.3730/post-17519) Roxanne, if you ever want to see examples of images taken with various Sony lenses, you should become familiar with Mark Galer. [Here is a link to Mark Galer's Album](https://flic.kr/s/aHsmatVJpz) on Flickr of images taken with the FE 24-105 G lens. Now I can't hold a candle to Mark Galer's images but here is a [Link to my Album I shot last July](https://flic.kr/s/aHsmWeyEmD) on San Juan Island using the Sony FE 24-105 lens. This was probably my first real use of my A7III after having started my Photography adventure 6 month prior to that trip. I now have an A7 IV as well as the A7III. If you're not used to Flickr, here is a little Summary on how best to view images on Flickr. I love Flickr because they will never Down-Res your images. It's a really good place for Pixel Peeping to evaluate how sharp an image is. Recommended viewing method for Flickr: 1. From the Albums page, Single Click or Tap the Album you would like to view 2. Next, Single Click or Tap the upper left photo in the Album grid to expand the photo and expose the Caption which is below the photo. You may need to scroll down a little bit. 3. Most photos can be clicked a second or third time to zoom in. 4. Navigate through the photos by Clicking or Tapping the Right Arrow symbol at the right side of the picture to see the rest of the photos in the Album. ### Similar threads [![gooeytek](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/data/avatars/s/8/8357.jpg?1765811080)](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/members/gooeytek.8357/) - [Forums](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/) - [Cameras: Questions, Discussion & Image Showcase](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/categories/cameras-questions-discussion-image-showcase.11/) - [Sony E-mount Full-Frame Cameras](https://www.alphashooters.com/community/forums/sony-e-mount-full-frame/)
