Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. If I do not want to use the included hood, will a standard Sony 49mm lens cap fit on this lens directly?

A: I just looked at my lens and I can't see any reason why any 49mm lens cap wouldn't fit. I actually like the little lens hood that comes with the lens because it protects the lens from fingerprints and such without adding much length to the lens. I often take only that lens on the camera when I want to be unencumbered by gear, and I usually don't bother with the little lens cap that goes on the hood.

Q: 2. I've lost my lens cap for this lens. It's the small lens cap that fits on the lens hood. Do you have replacements in stock?

A: Unfortunately, we do not carry a replacement ALC-SH129 Lens Hood. For this, your best bet would likely be to contact Sony directly. Otherwise, you could look at a generic 49mm lens hood.

Q: 3. How does the autofocus on this lens go with video modes on the a7 series? Hoping to use this on my a7Sii and Movi without having to stop down to get a manageable depth of field. Would be nice to keep it shallow but have the auto focus track walking talent for me rather than trying to keep them in the focal plane!

A: I use this lens with the A7R, mostly for still photography. However, on the rare occasions when I do shoot movies, the auto focus seems to work very well. Hope this helps.

Q: 4. I'm going to purchase this lens for my Sony A7 so I'll have a lightweight small lens that I can have while skiing. For bright snow pictures would you suggest a circular polarizer filter and if so which one is the best?

A: A circular polarizer can be a good option for skiing, as it will darken your exposure by two stops. For a great choice, I suggest the B+W 49mm circular polarizer http://bhpho.to/1DXAFty. Should you want to darken by more than two stops, another option you can try is using a variable neutral density filter, such as the following made by Rodenstock: http://bhpho.to/1DXAWwJ

Q: 5. I have an a7rii. Will eye auto-focus work with this lens?

A: This is an extremely clear and beautiful lens and it works great for face detection

Q: 6. No image stabilization? Do the Alpha 7 and 7R, the cameras this lens is intended for, come with built-in image stabilization?

A: No, the new A7 and A7r models do not have stabilization built into them. Going forward with this system Sony will be offering lenses with the stabilization built into them. This particular one does not, but there will be models introduced within the next year to two years which do.

Q: 7. is FE lens's focus ring mechanical or by-wire? many small body lenses such as m43 and fuji use by-wire focus, once the circuit is broken, the lens can no longer be used in any way.

Q: 8. Will this lens work with the Sony A6300?

A: Yes, however you will have a field of view of a 52mm lens when you look through the viewfinder.

Q: 9. Does any part of the outside of this lens move when it is auto focused by the camera, i.e. does the manual focus ring move when it is auto focused or does the front element move in/out or turn? How well is the lens weather sealed?

A: No part of the outside of this lens moves during autofocusing -- neither the front element nor the manual focus ring. The only movement is internal. I cannot speak to the weather sealing.

Q: 10. where are these lenses made?

A: According to the information we have, our current inventories Country of Origin is China. Please be aware this can change over the product's production life without notice.
