Sony’s NEX line of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras (ILC) deliver a substantial amount of bang in your buck, but a diminutive lens selection reduced appeal for advanced shooters. Today, the corporate is growing its E-mount family of lenses by three, now offering a complete of 7 compatible lenses. Shipping in October, the Carl Zeiss SonnarT E will take the helm as Sony’s flagship optic, delivering a 24mm fixed focal length and f/1.8 aperture, with a minimum focus distance of 16 cm and a sky-high $999 price ticket. Also packing a speedy f/1.8 aperture, the $300 E 50mm OSS doesn’t sport Carl Zeiss branding, however it does include built-in image stabilization and a circular aperture, promising smooth defocus. Both lenses will ship in December. Hitting stores in October, a brand new telephoto lens, the $350 E 55-210mm compensates for its sluggish f/4.5-6.3 maximum aperture with optical image stabilization while offering 3.8x magnification. And at last, Sony’s LA-EA2 A-mount adapter enables you to use your full-size Alpha lenses with the NEX cameras without losing functionality, because of built-in Translucent Mirror Technology and a dedicated AF motor. NEX-3 , NEX-5 , and NEX-C3 owners will desire a firmware update to milk the adaptor, but when you have already got a set of A-mount lenses, $400 could be a reasonable price to pay for full compatibility when it ships in November.
