Sony changed the full-frame mirrorless camera scene in 2013 when it released the a7 and a7R. Therefore, it did not come as a surprise when the company decided to stop making DSLR (SLT) cameras and A-mount lenses. It also appears that Sony is now focusing on full-frame rather than APS-C format cameras and their dedicated lenses.
Interestingly, a Sony FE (full-frame) lens can also be used for Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras. But since APS-C sensors are smaller, you will get a narrower field of view (FOV) angle. Hence, a 35mm focal length will become 50 mm on a crop APS-C sensor. With that, here are the best full-frame lenses for Sony mirrorless cameras in 2022.
Landscape and Travel Photography
1. Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM
Announced in May 2017, the Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM is a premium wide-angle zoom lenses designed for the company’s full-frame mirrorless cameras, such as the A7R III and Sony a7S III. It is also Sony’s first professional zoom lens that can be used for their APS-C E-mount cameras, with 24-52.5mm full-frame angle of view equivalent.
Ideal for landscape photography, the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master consists of 16 elements in 13 groups. This includes two XA (extreme aspherical), three aspherical elements, and two ED (extra-low dispersion) elements. This proud member of the Grand Master (GM) lens series is also built with a Nano AR (anti-reflective) coating.
This Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM has a minimum focusing distance of 28 cm (11.02 inches) at a maximum magnification of 0.19x, 11 rounded diaphragm blades, and an internal focusing mechanism. To produce precise, quiet, and smooth focusing, this professional-grade lens uses two DDSSMs (Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave Motors).
The Sony zoom lens does not feature a built-in Optical SteadyShot. Fortunately, this is not a problem since newer Sony mirrorless cameras have IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization). This weather-sealed zoom lens is medium-sized and weighs only 680 grams (1.49 lbs). The price is quite high, but its features make it worth your money. Read More…
