Explore Lenses by Brand
Choose a Brand to access the complete lineup of lenses they currently offer. Many brands make lenses for more than one mount which can be selected on the next page. Even with a given mount, the coverage of lenses can differ. Lenses can be filtered by minimum coverage in the following page too. To search for camera lenses by specification, use the Lens Search Engine or its simplified Search by Feature mode.
Lens Buying Guide
Consult the Lens Buying Guide to learn about lenses and how to select the right one according to an intended photographic subject. It also explains features of modern lenses and which ones work on different cameras. This short guide teaches how to choose lenses for any interchangeable lens camera by reading this in 3 simple steps:
- Understanding camera lenses and their specifications in simple terms. Including knowing which camera and lens are compatible.
- Get the ground rules for buying lenses and find out how to choose lenses for different subjects according the sensor-size.
- Start Browsing lenses by brand and mount. Then, filter them by features and specifications to find the best lens for your needs.
This Lens Buying Guide applies equally to DSLR, Mirrorless (SLD), Translucent Mirror (SLT) and even Film SLR cameras. Many lenses are made in versions for different camera mounts and some mounts are shared between brands, so it important to select the right model. All Lens Specification pages show the mount for a particular lens and allow switching to a different mount, when available for that lens.
Explore Camera Lenses by Mount
Explore Lenses by selecting a mount. The most recent lens is shown with each mount. Keep in mind that Interchangeable Lens Cameras are built with a specific mount and only directly accept matching lenses. A camera accepts lenses for its mount regardless of brand. Manufacturers of lenses for other brands are called third-party makers. There are sometimes limitations when using third-party lenses that may affect autofocus, continuous shooting, stabilization and in-camera optical correction.
