Sony A7 Series FE Adaptable Lens List - Modern Lenses

As sifting through many third party manufacturers looking for Full Frame lenses can be a big task, I have compiled a list from most manufacturers offering Full Frame options and their coded annotations that go with a lens for easy viewing. As some of these manufacturers aren't Native E-mount lenses, they can all be adapted to Sony FE. As this list is for FE camera's, these lenses are also suitable for crop sensor camera's including the A5000, A6000, A6300 though the viewing angle will change accordingly. Sony's crop sensor camera's multiply 1.5x, so a 50mm Full frame lens on a sony A6000 will have a field of view the same as a 75mm lens on a full frame. basically multiply the focal length of these lenses by 1.5x and that will give you your theoretical focal length for Sony Crop sensor camera's or any other crop sensor camera with a 1.5x multiplier.

Adapting Different manufactures lenses to E-mount is extremely simple thanks to many adapters available, more on adapters Here
