Looking for a new way to capture your photographs? Why not try a Sony 16-50mm Focal Length Camera Lens. The variety in focal lengths available ensures that you will be able to find the perfect one for you and your unique photography subject matter and style.

Lens Types

Standard lense s are a great starting point for any novice photographer. It is usually recommended that you start with a standard lens, become comfortable and begin exploring other lens types.

Wide angle lenses allow you to capture more subject matter in one frame. They are often used specifically for landscape or interior shots.

Macro lenses are perfect if you want to get up close and personal with smaller subject matter to capture small details that are not visible at first glance.

Telephoto lenses are often used to capture subjects that are far away, and are great at capturing motion. These types of lenses are often used for wildlife photography as well as sporting events.

Specifications

Each lens has a specific focal length indicated in millimetres, as well as a focus type (either auto or manual), and a maximum and minimum aperture, indicated by the letter f. There are also additional features such as image stabilisation and autofocus options.

Lens dimensions and weight vary significantly. For example, telephoto lenses (85-300 mm+) are often larger and bulkier and will therefore weigh more and be more difficult to transport.

Compatibility

Compatibility is a key aspect to keep in mind when purchasing a new lens. Many lenses are only compatible to mount cameras of that same specific brand, unless adaptors are purchased also.

Sony has two different types of mounts - E mounts and A mounts. Lenses are normally compatible with only one model.

Extras

The majority of lenses come with extra accessories such as bags, pockets, and lens caps to ensure that your lenses stay safe and clean.
