Just bought a Sony A7Riii. Before spending more $'s on lens, I rented a Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS to see if it's the lens I want. It's the one retailing at around $1,300.00. Very disappointed in the quality of the pictures no matter what settings I put the camera on or if I was shooting inside or outside. I also rented a Metabones Canon EF Lens to Sony E Mount T Smart Adapter IV to use my son's Canon lenses. I put his Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 lens on the Sony and the pictures were outstanding. Great color and detail. I think the lens (new) retails for around $800.00. Also got the same great results using his rather inexpensive Canon 50mm lens. Wondering if anyone has experienced rather poor results with their Sony 24-105mm lens or if perhaps the lens the store rented me is bad? Thanks.

I am very interested in your report as I have pre-ordered the a 7 III and am considering the 24 - 105. I read that some of those lenses were being recalled. The link to that info is here: Check on Sony 24 – 105 G lens to see if there is a recall:
Hope this helps, Keep us posted. thanks
