While Sony’s mirrorless lens mount is generically-known as the E-mount, the single letter E on a model name specifically refers to lenses that are only corrected for cameras with cropped APSC sensors, like the A6000 series, or full-frame bodies running in cropped / Super-35 modes in either case, the crop reduces the field-of-view by 1.5 times, so a 50mm becomes equivalent to 75mm. Older A-mount lenses can also work on E-mount mirrorless cameras using a Sony adapter, but for the best performance and greatest compatibility on mirrorless bodies, I’d recommend using native E-mount lenses when possible. Sony has two lens systems, one designed for its E-mount mirrorless cameras and the other for its older A-mount DSLR and SLT cameras. So if you’re looking for a Sony lens, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to my Buyer’s Guide for Sony lenses! I’ll start with a quick guide to their ranges and what to look out for, followed by my personal suggestions for building a system, and finally a list of all the models I’ve reviewed or tested and can recommend.
