Sony 24-105mm F/4 G focus shift issue

Some owners of the Sony 24-105mm F/4 G have noted a focus shift issue.  Essentially, changing the aperture changes the focus depth.  As a result, if the lens focuses wide open before stopping down the final image will be out of focus.

My copy is not affected.  Overall, it’s a stellar lens.  Please feel free to see my Sony 24-105 review for further information.

Sony is now offering to repair the affected lenses at this link.

I assume new copies of the Sony 24-105mm will be unaffected.  Please consider supporting this site and using this Amazon link to purchase the lens if you are interested in it:


I’ve also purchased these ND filters to use on the 24-105mm:

6 Stop Filter: ICE 77mm ND64

10 Stop ND filter:  ICE 77mm ND1000 Filter Neutral Density
