Type

Standard Zoom

The visual they offer is very close to human eyesight and is often referred to as "normal". They provide a natural result with minimal distortions, while also having zoom capability. Their focal distance usually starts from 40-55mm in full frame, 25-40mm in crop frame, and 80-100mm in medium format.

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.

Lens Type

Fixed Aperture Zoom

Lens Type

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.

Sensor Type

Crop Frame

Sensor Type

Crop Frame

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

Maximum Aperture (f)

2.8

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.

Minimum Aperture (f)

22

Minimum Aperture (f)

Opening the diaphragm determines the amount of light received by the camera and affects the depth of field.

2. The smallest diameter of the diaphragm is the minimum value. The more closed the diaphragm (larger f-number), the greater the depth of field.

Filter Diameter

67 mm

Filter Diameter

The diameter that a filter must have to be applied on the lens without the use of an adapter.

Focal Length Range

16 - 55 mm

Focal Length Range

The focal length is the distance from the convergence point of the light rays inside the lens to the camera sensor. As the range increases, we have a smaller field of view.

Weight

Mount

Sony E

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.

Features & Functions

Image Stabilization

No

Image Stabilization

The lens features image stabilization function for clearer photos and videos when shooting handheld, especially in low light conditions.

Autofocus (AF)

No

Autofocus (AF)

The lens has an automatic focusing function. Particularly useful for photographing subjects in motion (e.g. children playing).

3D

No

3D

Lenses for creating stereoscopic images.
