Cameras on Sony E
Every body in the catalogue that takes Sony E lenses, newest first. Prices are the best new price from a UK retailer we track.
Lens range
279 Sony E lenses in the catalogue. Native means made by a company that also makes Sony E bodies; third-party is everyone else.
Best Sony E lenses by genre
Top three per genre from the lens engine, scored on this lens's own format. The same scores you see on each lens page; Gear Builder re-scores them for the exact body you pick.
Flange distance & adapting
A plain adapter is a spacer: it can only add distance between lens and sensor. Glass from a mount with a longer flange distance adapts cleanly onto Sony E; glass from a shorter one needs corrective optics.
