Sony Professional FE Lens Roundup

Introduction

Sony now offers the most extensive native lens lineup for mirrorless digital cameras in both absolute numbers and for Full-Frame cameras alone. Even though the NEX system which introduced the E-mount was launched with APS-C cameras lenses a decade ago, Sony rebranded the system as Alpha. and added full-frame cameras and lenses in 2013. Despite the three year head start of APS-C, Sony expanded into the full-frame market at an unprecedented pace and currently offer twice as many Sony E-mount Full-Frame lenses as APS-C ones.

Sony gained market share among professional photographers with their Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Cameras that were comparable in size and weight to an APS-C DSLR. To capitalize on the trend, Sony introduced the G-series of high-end lenses for professional photographers in 2014 and followed in 2016 with their G-Master (GM) series which aims to reach the pinnacle of optical design and performance. The are currently six Sony G lenses and seven GM ones.
