The classic 35mm focal length is one that, until recently, was slightly underrepresented on Sony. For years the sole “professional” option was the Sony Zeiss Distagon 35mm F1.4, a lens with a very mixed reputation that seems to be due to having a lot of sample variation (some good copies, some not so good).&nbs [Read more...]
What do you get when you combine the massive resolution of the Sony a7RIV (almost!), the blazing speed of the Sony a9II (and more!), and all the video capabilities of the Sony a7SIII? The answer is the Sony Alpha 1, aka the Sony A1, or, more technically, the Sony ILCE-1. The Alpha 1 is definitely […] [Read more...]
Sony has debuted a new kit lens with the a7C, a retractable zoom design. This will likely replace the unlamented FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens, which, on paper, seems to have the advantage over a lens with a smaller zoom range, a slightly smaller maximum aperture on the wide end (F4 vs F3.5), and one […] [Read more...]
I only began to review Sony products in 2017, and my focus has primarily been upon the newer cameras and lenses released since that point, so I barely missed the Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS, which was released just a few months before I started to cover Sony. The 90G Macro (as we’ll […] [Read more...]

The Sony 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS is one of Sony’s older full frame E-mount lenses, but I’ve just gotten around to reviewing it because of the release of the new Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD. Not all lenses age well, and that is particularly true here when compared to a much newer (and much better) competitor.&nbs [Read more...]
I had a conversation with a third party lens maker last year, and they asked me essentially what lenses I felt were needed on Sony. One of the lenses I described to them was essentially the Sony FE 20mm F1.8 G. I don’t know if Sony was eavesdropping on that call, but they have certainly […] [Read more...]
The Sony FE 20mm F1.8 G is the kind of lens that everyone can agree on. Reasonably sized, reasonably priced, and optically superior. I don’t know that I could have scripted this lens any better, really, and I was very pleased at the concept of the lens when it was announced, and now that I’ve […] [Read more...]
