Covering both wide landscapes and tight portraits, the Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens from Sony is a great all-around choice for APS-C-format E-mount cameras. It offers a very versatile 24-105mm equivalent zoom range and even features a constant f/4 aperture for consistent performance. Also, through the use of one extra-low dispersion element, one Advanced Aspherical, and three aspherical elements, users will enjoy sharp, aberration-free imagery. Furthermore, the lens benefits from Zeiss’ T* anti-reflective coating to effectively eliminate ghosting and flare.
For fast, silent autofocus, the 16-70mm is equipped with a linear motor and uses an internal focus design. It also has Optical SteadyShot image stabilization to reduce the effects of camera shake, especially at longer focal lengths. Additionally, the lens can focus as close as 13.8″ and it has a seven-blade circular diaphragm for smooth bokeh.
Based on the Zeiss Tessar optical concept, this lens uses a design with 16 elements in 12 groups that helps ensure a smaller overall lens size along with reduced flaring, distortion, and chromatic aberrations.
A versatile mid-range zoom for APS-C-format E-mount cameras, this 16-70mm lens provides a wide-angle to short telephoto 24-105mm equivalent focal length that works for anything from vast landscapes to tight portraits to distant subjects.

Capture 4K images on a full-frame sensor with this SLR Magic MicroPrime Cine Lens Kit put together by B&H. The set includes 25, 35, 50, and 75mm MicroPrime Cine lenses that share characteristics such as a similar size and weight, consistent gear positions, full-frame sensor support, a 13-blade iris, internal focus design, an 85mm front diameter, and an 82mm front filter thread which make changing focal lengths a breeze while shooting. All four lenses feature a Sony E-mount.
This Lens Mount Adapter from Viltrox allows a Nikon F-Mount, D or G-Type lens to be mounted onto a Micro Four Thirds camera. While doing so, the adapter’s optics help to maximize the connected lens’s apparent angle of view while providing a one-stop increase for the camera over the lens’s aperture range.
If a lens intended for larger camera sensors is connected to a Micro Four Thirds camera, it would project an image larger than the camera’s sensor was built to accept. Able to capture only the center portion of the projected image, the effective angle of view of the lens would be narrowed, creating an in-camera “crop factor.” This adapter condenses the light from an attached lens and projects it onto a Micro Four Thirds camera’s sensor. This allows the camera sensor to utilize more of the light gathered by a connected lens, which effectively reduces the crop factor while making available to the sensor an additional one stop of light for each of the lens’s f/stop settings.
This adapter supports manual focusing and eight stops of aperture control. It is constructed with five lens elements in four groups that are designed to provide optical clarity as well as color fidelity, and the underside of its removeable tripod foot is tapped with a 1/4″-20 accessory thread, enabling direct attachment to a tripod or quick release plate that feature 1/4″-20 mounts.

Don’t waste time pulling a lens out of your bag or swapping optics with the Lensbaby Trio 28mm f/3.5 Lens. This pancake-style lens incorporates a rotating front that holds Twist, Velvet, and Sweet optics for selecting different effects at a moment’s notice. The Twist uses a Petzval-inspired design for a sharp center area surrounded by a swirl of twisty bokeh. Velvet has a dreamy central area with a soft focus look along with a soft glow. Sweet creates a sharp spot of focus in the center with a gradual fall-off to blur. All these can be carried without stuffing your bag with a variety of miscellaneous equipment.
Available here for Sony E-mount cameras, the Trio will provide a wide-angle perspective that is well-suited to street photography. Also, it has a fixed f/3.5 optic that ensures predictable looks in a variety of situations. All the optics are multi-coated for minimal flare and ghosting and a manual focusing ring is included for focusing anywhere from 8″ to infinity. Additionally, users can attach filters using the front 46mm thread for even more creative control.
