Do you prefer the sharpness of a Prime lens or the capability of a Zoom lens? Whether you are looking for a Prime or a Zoom lens for your Sony camera we’ve got you covered. We created these lists of Sony Camera Lenses based on the mount type, such as Sony E (APS-C) and Sony FE (FF). Then we grouped them by lens type to make it easy to find what you want.
Prime and Zoom lenses offer very different shooting experiences.
Prime Lenses for Sony
Prime lenses tend to be lighter and provide a better image quality over most Zoom lenses. This is because a Prime doesn’t require all the mechanics that a Zoom does. Although if you’re not use to shooting with a Prime lens it does take a bit of practice.
Since you don’t have the ability to ‘zoom’ in or out on your subject to frame or compose your scene, your feet become the ‘zoom’. It’s this moving around, rather than just turning the lens, that takes some getting use to, especially for a beginner photographer.
Although it’s not a bad thing. Having to move yourself in order to compose the shot forces you to think a bit more and experiment. If you already have a Zoom and are thinking of getting a Prime lens go ahead and set your Zoom lens to a specific focal length and just leave it there. If you need to slap your hand every time you turn the zoom. This will give you a feel for how you’ll need to shoot with a Prime.
Zoom Lenses for Sony
Zoom lenses make it easy to get close to the action or to quickly adjust the composition of the scene you are shooting. This is very helpful when trying to capture action or moments that you wouldn’t be able to move into position quick enough to get otherwise. That is unless you’re Barry Allen (aka: The Flash).
For most anyone that has used any sort of camera, the ability to zoom in and out will feel very natural. As mentioned above, with a Prime lens, it takes some getting use to. So for beginner photographers a Zoom lens may be a more comfortable choice.
Many people associate ‘zoom’ with photographing something that is very far away. Although the term ‘telephoto’ is a more accurate term for that.
Are Telephoto lenses and Zoom lenses the same thing?
A nice distinction that I picked up as I was learning is that Telephoto and Zoom lenses are not exactly the same thing. It’s true that they are often associated together, but they are in fact referring to different things.
The term Telephoto really is just referring to a lens that has a ‘long reach’. This typically translates to something longer than 60mm. Where as a Zoom means a lens that can achieve a range of focal lengths.
So here are a couple of examples…
Is a 85mm Prime lens a telephoto lens? The answer is Yes! Since you have a ‘reach’ or focal length of 85mm this falls into the range of what is considered telephoto.
Is a 10mm – 100mm Zoom lens a telephoto lens? Here the answer is Yes and No. While it would still probably be called a telephoto lens since some of the focal length range is, there is also parts of the range that are not considered telephoto.
All this really means is if you see the word ‘Telephoto’ associated with a lens is that it will help you get closer to the action without you actually having to be close to the action. If you are specifically looking for just Telephoto lenses then we’ve created a separate list for that.
Our lens database of over 700 lenses from the best lens companies is updated regularly. For this list specifically we’ve grouped the lenses by lens type, Prime and Zoom.
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 Prime and Zoom Lens Lists
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 Prime and Zoom lenses that fit all the standard Sony camera mounts. They cover lenses available for both Mirroless and DSLR Sony 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+
