Models involving a partnership with Zeiss are labeled ZA, and are generally pitched between Sony’s own G and GM lenses in quality. Within each series, Sony indicates its superior models by the letter G and names its flagship mirrorless lenses G Master or GM for short.

Sony’s A-mount lenses have SAL in their product codes, but models additionally labeled with DT are designed for bodies with cropped / APSC sensors.Īs a general rule, if you have a full-frame Sony mirrorless camera, you should buy FE lenses, and if you have a cropped-frame Sony mirrorless camera, you can use either FE or E lenses choosing FE will give you the option to use them on full-frame bodies if you upgrade in the future, but E models will be smaller, lighter and cheaper. Sony’s mirrorless lenses corrected for use on full-frame bodies like the A7 and A9 series, are labeled FE and have no reduction in their field-of-view when shooting in full-frame modes these also work on cropped bodies or in cropped modes, albeit again with a 1.5x field-reduction.

Note older NEX bodies also employ cropped APSC sensors, but may not have the firmware to correct distortion on some of the latest lenses they’ll still work, but you may see more distortion that you would on an A6000 series body. 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!
