Sony E lenses (APS-C)
For Sony Alpha crop bodies and the ZV line, this page lists lenses with an APS-C image circle: Sony E (no FE in the name), Sigma DC DN (mirrorless crop), and Tamron Di III-A. On full-frame bodies most of these vignette unless you use APS-C crop.
For full-frame coverage, see Sony FE lenses. Long FE teles you might pair with an APS-C body for reach are linked from the telephoto section below.
E mount is shared with all mirrorless Alpha / ZV bodies. A-mount (DSLR) lenses need a LA-EA adapter; AF may be limited.
