ULTIMATE GUIDE TO E-MOUNT LENSES FOR SONY A7 A7R A7S A7II

30SEP.2014

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO E-MOUNT LENSES FOR SONY A7 A7R A7S A7II

One of the great features of Sony A7, A7R, A7S and A7II fullframe cameras is that by using lens mount adapters, you’re able to use virtually any fullframe lens ever made – including vintage legacy lenses. But how about native E-mount lenses? This seems like a good time for a round-up of all the native E-mount fullframe lenses including those just announced at Photokina.

Sony FE Lenses

Sony-FE-35SONY FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA
The perfect walk-around lens for street photography on Sony A7/A7R/A7S. The smallest of all the Sony FE glass – yet deceptively sharp. See more images shot with the Sony FE 35/2.8 ZA here.

Sony-FE-55SONY FE 55mm/1.8 ZA
This is one of the sharpest lenses I’ve ever owned. This lens is virtually on par with the performance of the legendary $4,000 Zeiss 55mm/1.4 Otus lens. Great look when used wide open for shallow depth-of-field portraits.

Sony-FE-24-70SONY FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS
This Zeiss zoom is the perfect focal range for portraits and travel photography. It’s smaller and lighter than it’s F2.8 A-mount brother making it perfectly balanced for A7 mirrorless bodies. At 24mm it’s perfect for capturing a portrait with lots of environment. At 70mm it’s perfect for a tight face.
