  • Type

    Wide Angle

    Wide-angle lenses with optics that allow for fitting many elements within the frame with relatively little distortion. Their focal distance is usually 24-35mm for full-frame, 15-25mm for crop frame, and 50-70mm for medium format. They are commonly used in street photography but also in indoor spaces where there is limited distance from the subject. The perspective of wide-angle lenses makes things appear farther apart than they actually are.

  • Mount

    The type of mount that the camera body must have in order for the lens to be fully functional when attached to it.

    2. Some lenses can be used with older mounts from the same manufacturer, sacrificing certain functions (e.g. autofocus), or even with mounts from other manufacturers using an adapter.

  • Item

    Lenses with variable optical (zoom) that remain equally bright (same maximum aperture value) throughout the entire focal distance range they offer. Usually significantly more expensive than their variable aperture counterparts.

    Fixed Focal Length

    Lenses with fixed optics are usually of higher quality than a corresponding zoom lens at the same focal distance. They are also called "fixed" or "prime" lenses.

  • Sensor Type

    Crop Frame

    Lenses designed for use on cameras with a crop frame sensor (smaller frame).

  • Maximum Aperture (f)

    Opening the diaphragm determines the amount of light received by the camera and affects the depth of field.
    2. The most open aperture of a lens is called the maximum. The more open the aperture (smaller f-number), the shallower the depth of field.

    This review is about the mount: Sony E

    I am not the right person to judge because I am unfamiliar. What I have to say is that it is only for landscapes. Due to its wide angle, it distorts faces.

    This review is about the mount: Sony E

    Very good astro lens for milky way and night landscapes. It has minimal distortion for how wide it is, which can easily be fixed with the existing profile that you have to manually select in Lr.
    It is one of the sharpest lenses I have.

    The aperture ring is perfect, the focus ring has a very nice feel, useful even at wide open f/2 but even better at f/4 if you have enough light.
    The lens hood is large but necessary, it does a great job.

    Purchased for 165 euros for Sony A6000, it is easily worth it.
    It comes with a carrying pouch to prevent damage inside bags, etc.

    This review is about the mount: Sony E

    Very good wide-angle lens. Ideal for landscapes, architecture, astrophotography. Its strong point, apart from its good sharpness, is that it is wide-angle and quite fast (f2), making it ideal for indoor photography with relatively low lighting. It has a bit more chromatic aberrations, but they can be removed in post-processing.
    The fact that it is manual focus is not a problem unless you want it for video, but I would have liked it to have electronic contacts to transfer settings to files, distortion correction, etc. but we can't have it all.

    This review is about the mount: Sony E

    The lens is used on a Sony a6500 body for landscape photography. Its weight and volume are perfect for long mountain hikes where every gram counts. The photos it produces have very good sharpness, and focusing for landscapes is not difficult to manually set, so there is no need for a more expensive lens for this. Very satisfied with the final value for money.

    Small, very bright, sharp, very good contrast and color rendering. I don't consider the fact that it is manual a problem. A lens that enhances your appreciation on an a6000, since with Sony lenses you have to spend a lot to see such performance.
