The 8 best Sony lenses you can buy - Android

The best Sony lenses will take your photography to the next level. Come check out a list of our very favorites!

There aren’t as many Sony lenses as you’ll find with brands like Canon and Nikon, but the list continues to grow. The Japanese company’s glass selection also tends to be more expensive, but they offer superb optics, build quality, and image quality. Those in need of help choosing their next upgrade have come to the right place. We’ve created a list of the best Sony lenses you can buy.

We are focusing on E-Mount lenses today. A-Mount DSLR cameras and lenses haven’t been released in years and the company is all about its mirrorless systems, which all use the E-Mount.

The best Sony lenses:

  1. Sony FE 50mm f/1.8
  2. Sony Planar T FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA
  3. Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS
  4. Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS
  1. Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM
  2. Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM
  3. Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS
  4. Sony 2x Teleconverter

Terms to keep in mind:

  • Aperture
  • Focal length
  • Photography terms

Editor’s note: This list of the best Sony lenses will be regularly updated as more glass is launched.


1. Sony FE 50mm f/1.8

Sony FE 50mm f1.8 lens

A 50mm f/1.8 should be the first lens every camera owner buys. Prime lenses tend to offer great quality and wider apertures in a smaller form factor. The 50mm focal length on a full frame sensor offers a view that is very similar to the human eye, so what you see is very similar to what you shoot. The price on these lenses tend to be much lower too. This Sony lens costs under $200, which is rather affordable for the quality you get.

2. Sony Planar T FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA

Sony Planar T FE 50mm f1.4 ZA

If you want a much better 50mm Sony lens, would prefer a wider f/1.4 aperture, and have much more cash to spare, you can go for the Sony Planar T FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA. This lens is engineered by Zeiss, which is known for its amazing optics and T coating.

3. Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS

Sony FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS

Another addition every photographer should have in his collection is a macro Sony lens. Macro lenses allow you to focus from a very close distance to your subject. If you ever see a close-up photo of an insect, this is the type of lens that was used. The Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS has a minimum focus distance of 0.92ft. Pair that with a 90mm focal length and you can really get close to everything.

4. Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS

Sony FE 24 105mm f4 G OSS

The FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Sony lens is made for those who want a lens that can handle most tasks. A 24-105mm focal length can zoom in close to subjects, shoot wide open, or hover anywhere in the middle. This is perfect if you want to carry around less lenses (if not only this one). It is a non-variable aperture lens that doesn’t close down as you zoom in, which is definitely an advantage. This is good considering the max aperture is f/4.
