Sony Lenses by Price List

Looking for Sony Lens Under $500, Under $1500, Under $3000, or for what lenses fall into a more professional price range? We’ve created a list of Sony Lens by price point to help you narrow down your lens search.

When I was getting started with photography I had a really hard time getting a feel for what the cost of lenses should be. Different brands, sales prices, and lens quality makes it really difficult to navigate and narrow down your selection.

I found it hard to find a place where I could get a quick feel for what lenses should cost, so that I could then determine what I was actually buying was a fair price.

So we put this list together to help photographers, both new and experienced, have a simple resource to find lenses that fit their budget. For some price may be the first item in their lens search, while for others it just may be that last consideration before purchase. Either way we hope you find this list helpful.

Our lens database of over 700 lenses from the best lens companies is updated regularly. However for this list specifically, if we don’t have a current price confirmed it won’t show up.

We do have a complete list of Sony Camera lenses, so if you are searching for something that you don’t see here you can click over to that page.

This handy list of Sony Lenses also allows you easily sort and search to narrow in on what you need.

Sony Lens Grouped by Price

This list of Sony lenses includes Sony’s lenses as well as some third-party companies such as Sigma and Tamron, all of which make really quality lenses.

This list is based on the standard Sony Mount types, from the Sony E mount and FE mount for their mirrorless camera line as well as the Sony A mount designed for their DSLR cameras.

We aren’t able to update prices constantly so instead we provide you with an idea of the price range for a particular lens. That way if you see it far outside of this range you can make a better judgement on whether it may be a used or refurbished lens. Or perhaps you landed on a really good sale! Just make sure to always consider the source your buying from.

$ = around $300 or less
$$ = around $300-$600
$$$ = around $600-$1500
$$$$ = around $1500-$3000
$$$$$ = around $3000-$6000
Professional = $6000+

Change the sort in each column by clicking on the header for that column. You can also use the search function to narrow down what you’re looking for.

We are part of the Amazon Associates program so if you decide to buy lenses or anything else after clicking on the links it also helps the blog; it doesn’t cost you any more than it would normally, and their prices are already super low. It’s what allows us to keep working on the blog!
