What lenses are available for Sony a7?

10 years 2 months ago #338813 by Frisco
I'm thinking about picking up one of these and last I heard they had very limited lens options.  Has this changed, or does anyone have a list of lenses available please? 

Nikon 18-55mm VR, Nikon 70-200mm VRII f/2.8, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, SB-700 & SB-800

With adapters you can shoot with nearly any lens, without AF a lot of the time though.

Sony FE mount lenses are as follows:
28-70 F3.5-5.6 (kit lens, it's ok not too sharp at the long end)
35 2.8 Zeiss (sharp lens, but a little slow IMHO... it is very light and small though)
55 1.8 Zeiss (sharp and fairly fast, I will buy this lens most likely).

Coming soon:
24-70 f/4 OSS (Zeiss lens) I will buy this
70-200 f/4 OSS (G lens) I won't buy this because I have a long lens on my Canon system.

OFFICIAL Lens roadmap:

Translating the Japanese on the latter parts:
Zeiss Wide Angle F/4 Zoom (I'm guessing something like 16-35)
Zeiss Fast aperture (literally "big mouth" incidentally) prime lens. (Who knows, maybe 85 1.8 or 24 1.8 )
Macro Lens (G lens not Zeiss) 

By end of 2015 a total of 15 lenses will be released.



35 2.8 and 55 1.8 samples I took can be found here:

FAKE but interesting filled out roadmap from a Chinese site (this one isn't official):

Sony doesn't have to much in terms of fast glass do they?
