There is also a noticeable amount of lenses listed here that do not feature electronic contacts to communicate with the camera ( no Exif). Many of these lenses are manual focus only ( MF) whereas some of them feature auto focus ( AF). But in most cases we have bought the lenses new from retail stores or on the used market. Before any short introduction we tell you how long we have used a lens and if we have borrowed it from a manufacturer. We have no association with any lens manufacturer apart from occasionally loaning a lens for a review. We also have a general guide to FE lenses, guide to 20-28mm lenses as well as a guide to 35mm lenses, 50mm lenses and 85-135mm portrait lenses. In this summary we also included some adapted lenses we think are worth mentioning. We summarize our experience with all the native E-mount and a few manual legacy lenses in the 9-18mm bracket to give you a compact and independent resource for choosing the right super- to ultra-wide-angle lens for your Sony A7 cameras. ![]()
