Sony E-Mount Lenses List

This list features all the Sony E Mount Full Frame lenses, including Sony Telephoto Lenses and Ultrawide lenses.

If you want the best full-frame lenses for your Sony camera, check out the Sony GM lenses. These are the best lenses Sony offers and could be considered comparable to what Canon does with the L lenses or what Nikon does with its S lenses.

You can use this table to compare the options and find the best one for your Sony camera.

Sony Prime & Zoom FE Lenses

This list features lenses designed and built by Sony and lenses using Zeiss designs. The Zeiss lenses have the ZA label and the T* coating. The Sony lenses are good and keep improving, but the GM or Zeiss lenses are the best choices if you want the highest quality from Sony.

The Sony zoom lenses have a lot of variety now. Zeiss lenses for Sony often have an edge in contrast and pop, but Sony has been producing some excellent GM lenses that are also very high quality. The Sony GM lenses usually have more features than the Zeiss lenses, but they are also bigger and more expensive.

You can now sort this table by the different types of lenses, including Sony OSS lenses, weather-sealed lenses, prime lenses, and zoom lenses.

Sony Lens Codes

Sony lens codes can be confusing, but here is a simple guide to help you understand what they mean.

OSS – Optical Steady Shot. Or IS if you’re a Canon user. This means the lens has built-in image stabilization.

T* – This is Zeiss’ unmatched multi-layer lens coating code. Often referred to as T coating. This will be like their L lenses if you’re a Canon shooter.

ZA – Mean Zeiss Alpha. Lenses by Zeiss for the Alpha cameras. Or E-Mount cameras.

G – This is the code Sony uses to distinguish top-quality lenses like the Zeiss T* or the Canon L. It means it’s good.

FE – Full Frame E mount

Sony Third-party Lenses

There are many great third-party lenses now for the Sony E Mount. Many of these use the Sony Protocols, which allow for electronic controls and autofocus.

However, with 3rd Party Sony lenses, you won’t get firmware support and won’t have access to baked-in lens profiles to correct things like vignetting and distortion. Also, IBIS is usually not as good on third-party lenses.

American Lenses

Lensbaby is one of the few third-party lens makers for Sony cameras. Its lenses have a special design that makes them different from other lenses. They also offer unique ways to capture photos.

Lensbaby Lenses

Lensbaby is an American company that makes third-party lenses for Sony mirrorless cameras as well as most other brands. Lensbaby lenses have unique and creative designs that set them apart from other lenses. They let you have some fun with your camera and create some amazing effects for your photos.

The Velvet and Twist lenses are standalone, while the Edge and Sweet lenses need to be attached to a Composer Pro or Composer Pro II. These lenses can help you add some extra creativity to your photos with their special features.

German Third-Party Sony Lenses

If you want quality lenses from Germany for your Sony E-mount camera, you have three options: Meyer Optic Gorlitz, Voigtlander, and Zeiss. These are all respected brands that make German optics. Zeiss also makes some excellent autofocus lenses. Even though Zeiss is now owned by a Japanese company, Cosina, some of their lenses are still made in Germany.

Meyer Optic Gorlitz FE Prime Lenses

Meyer Optic Gorlitz is a German optics company that makes reliable and high-quality lenses, often supported by independent projects on Kickstarter’s crowdfunding website. The company was revived after bankruptcy and now has new products that are compatible with Sony cameras.

Voigtlander / Cosina Sony Primes Lenses

Voigtlander is a famous brand that makes high-quality lenses for Leica M-mount cameras. The company has also created new models that work with Sony’s E Mount and have electronic communication. This means that Sony’s 5-axis IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) feature can be used with these lenses for better photo quality.

Here is a list of all the Voigtlander lenses for the Sony E Mount.

Zeiss Lenses For Sony

Zeiss offers a variety of lenses for Sony cameras, both autofocus and manual focus. Its Batis lenses are famous for their high quality and image resolution. They also have T* lens coating, a special Zeiss feature that improves clarity. The Loxia line is good for manual focus lovers, with sharpness and build quality.

Here is a list of every Zeiss lens available for the Sony E Mount and native to the Sony mount.

Japanese Third-Party Sony FE Lenses

Sony photographers and videographers can benefit from Japanese third-party lenses, which offer quality build and optics at a reasonable price. Some of the big names in Japan that make these lenses are Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina. They have great designs that use the latest lens technology.

Gizmon Lenses

Gizmon is a small company from southern Japan that makes interesting pancake lenses.

Sigma E Mount Lenses

Sigma makes great Sony E lenses known for their quality and price. These lenses have precise rendering abilities that are better now because they have low-focus breathing and dust and weather protection. Sigma has two lenses for Sony E cameras: DSLR lenses that need more flange distance and mirrorless lenses that need less flange distance.

Sigma has two categories for weather sealing – “Dust and Splash Resistant Structure” and “Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure.”

Dust and Splash Resistant Structure means the body is sealed against moisture and dust and will be protected in light rain and snow. This does not mean waterproof.

If only the Mount is Dust—and splash-resistant, then the body is not fully sealed. I’ve marked only the dust—and splash-resistant lenses as weather-sealed.

Sigma cine lenses can be ordered with feet or meter markings that are normal or luminous. The Luminous markings glow in the dark.

Tamron E Mount Lenses

Tamron makes lenses for Sony mirrorless cameras with quality optics and performance. Their lenses are so good that even Nikon takes their design and rebrands them for Nikon bodies.

Tamron’s lineup covers almost everything, from wide-angle to telephoto lenses. Their lenses are priced very competitively while offering very impressive performance. I love the 17-28mm f2.8 I have for my Nikon system. It has a lot more pop and contrast than many high-element Zooms.

Tokina Lenses For Sony

Tokina makes several high-quality prime lenses for the Sony full-frame E-mount system. One is the Firin 20mm f2, which has a metal body with a brushed finish and an Autofocus version. Tokina also has lenses similar to some Viltrox lenses, but they are different in their build quality, lens coatings, and autofocus systems.

Yasuhara Lenses

Fans of Sony’s mirrorless camera lineup can now look forward to getting their hands on a nice lens from Yasuhara. The full manual Anthy35 is perfect for those looking to expand their creative options and allow for more nuanced control over the settings. With its impressive specs and features, watch for this one!

Korean Third-Party Lenses For Sony FE

Samyang and Rokinon are two options you can think of for lenses for your Sony camera. They are both brands from Samyang, a Korean company that makes lenses for various photography needs.

Samyang / Rokinon Lenses

Samyang and Rokinon have a lot of lenses to choose from. Some of their older lenses are not as good as their newer ones. I have used many Samyang lenses and they are very good now. Autofocus can be unreliable sometimes, but these lenses are a great value for the money.

Samyang makes different types of lenses for the Sony E mount. They have manual focus, autofocus, full-frame, and APS-C lenses, and some are weather-sealed.

Rokinon Cine Lenses – Rokinon has recently released a new line of cinema lenses for the Sony E Mount system called XEEN.

The XEEN lenses share the feature of an 11-blade diaphragm and a 114mm front element that fits standard matte boxes. The CF (Carbon Fiber) XEEN lenses are different in that they have 95mm filter threads for a lighter and smaller design.

These lenses are also ready for 6k resolution, so they can capture sharp and detailed images.

Russian Third-Party Full Frame E Mount Lenses

The shortlist of available Russian lenses for the Sony E-Mount.

Zenit Lenses / Lomography

Zenit makes vintage third-party lenses for old-fashioned photography fans. These lenses work with DSLR and mirrorless cameras. They also have some of the classic designs, like the Helios 40-2 85mm lens.

UK Third-Party Lenses

Cooke, a legendary cinema lens company, has released a series of lenses for the Sony E mount that are based on the classic Speed Panchro lenses. The new SP3 range includes five focal lengths: 25mm, 32mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm, all with a fast T2.4 aperture. These lenses are designed to produce the vintage Cooke Look that is popular among filmmakers, with outstanding definition, resolution, contrast, and color rendition. The SP3 lenses are also compatible with other full-frame mirrorless cameras, such as Sony E, Canon RF, Leica L, and Leica M, with user-changeable mounts. The SP3 lenses are a great option for those who want to capture cinematic images with modern cameras and vintage flair.

Swiss Third-Party Lenses

Irix Lenses

Irix is a Swiss company that specializes in making lenses with Japanese optics. They have a range of professional cine lenses that are suitable for filmmaking and video production. These lenses are compatible with various camera brands and offer high-quality performance at affordable prices. The Irix cine lenses are a good choice for filmmakers who want to use third-party lenses with features similar to those of the more expensive ones.

UK Third-Party Lenses

The United Kingdom has few options for third-party lenses that are compatible with Sony Cameras. Only a handful of UK-based lens manufacturers, such as Cooke and Reflex, produce lenses for the Sony E mount. These lenses are mostly cine lenses designed for video production and have manual focus and aperture control. They are also quite expensive and bulky compared to native Sony lenses.

Reflex Lenses

Reflex was founded by photographer Laurence Von Thomas, who wanted to restore analog film camera components to their original glory. Reflex is a UK-based company that offers a range of lenses for Sony camera users. Their third-party lenses for Sony E-Mount cameras are designed to be versatile and adaptable, but they are not easy to find.

Chinese Third-Party E Mount Lenses

Many third-party Chinese lenses are compatible with Sony cameras, but not all are of the same quality. Some of them can match or even exceed the performance of some Japanese and German brands, while others are just mediocre and uninspiring. To choose the best lens for your camera, research the lens and its manufacturer before buying.

7Artisans Lenses

7Artisans has some of the most affordable lenses for your full-frame Sony mirrorless camera. These third-party Sony lenses I would say are now designed to deliver pretty high-quality performance at a low cost.

Most of these lenses are manual focus only, but they have smooth and precise focusing rings and metal bodies. They are also compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry around. If you want to save some money and still get great results, you should check out these 7Artisans lenses for your Sony camera.

AstrHori

AstrHori is a lens manufacturer that produces high-quality lenses, including some that are compatible with Sony cameras. They have some unique and creative designs, such as the Macro tilt lens, which allows you to adjust the plane of focus and create interesting effects. This lens is ideal for macro photography, as it lets you control the depth of field and perspective of your subject.

Brightin Star

Brightin Star offers a series of lenses for Sony FE E-Mount cameras. These lenses are affordable and fun to use for photography enthusiasts. However, they sometimes have some drawbacks, such as poor corner sharpness and light scattering inside the lens elements when shooting in bright light, which reduce the contrast and clarity of the images.

Most of the Brightin Star will get the job done, especially if you just want to have fun shooting without spending a ton of cash.

DZOFilm Lenses

DZOFilm is a Chinese company that is gaining popularity among cine shooters for its cinema lenses, which are well-made and reasonably priced. They have two series of lenses: the Pictor Zoom and the Vespid Prime. The Pictor Zoom lenses are compact and lightweight zoom lenses that cover a wide range of focal lengths, such as 20-55mm T2.8 and 50-125mm T2.8. The Vespid Prime lenses are fast and sharp prime lenses with a consistent T2.1 aperture across all focal lengths, such as 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 90mm, and 125mm. These lenses are designed to work with various camera mounts, such as Sony E, Canon EF, PL, and MFT.

DZOFilm lenses are a great option for cine shooters who want to use high-quality, affordable cinema lenses.
