We summarize our experience with all the native E-mount and a few manual legacy lenses in the 9-18mm bracket<\/strong> to give you a compact and independent resource for choosing the right super- to ultra-wide-angle lens for your Sony A7 cameras. In this summary we also included some adapted lenses we think are worth mentioning.<\/p>\n

We also have a general guide to FE lenses<\/a>, guide to 20-28mm lenses<\/a> as well as a guide to 35mm lenses<\/a>, 50mm lenses<\/a> and 85-200mm portrait lenses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have no association with any lens manufacturer apart from occasionally loaning a lens for a review. Before any short introduction we tell you how long we have used a lens and if we have borrowed it from a manufacturer. But in most cases we have bought the lenses new from retail stores or on the used market. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of these lenses are manual focus only (MF<\/strong>) whereas some of them feature auto focus (AF<\/strong>). There is also a noticeable amount of lenses listed here that do not feature electronic contacts to communicate with the camera (no Exif<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

If we have left any question unanswered please leave a comment or contact us on social media<\/a> and we will do our best to answer it.<\/p>\n
