List of Sony A-mount lenses
A number of lenses exist for Sony cameras. Sony produces many lenses using technology it acquired from Minolta.
DT |
"Digital Technology", lenses for cameras with APS-C or Super-35mm size sensors, only. Cannot reasonably be used on 24x36mm full-frame cameras. |
G |
"Gold" series, Sony's line-up of high-grade lenses. |
ZA |
"Zeiss Alpha", lenses for Sony Alpha cameras. ZA lenses are designed and manufactured by Sony in Japan, once the designs get approval by Carl Zeiss AG to meet their quality standards. |
SSM |
"SuperSonic Motor", silent in-lens ultrasonic motor used on some lenses. Can be used with manual focusing on cameras without SSM support (Minolta film bodies released before 2000). |
SAM |
"Smooth Autofocus Motor", cheap in-lens motor offered on some entry level lenses since 2009. Supported by all cameras which also support SSM lenses. Can be used with manual focusing on cameras without SSM support (Minolta film bodies released before 2000). |
