10 of the Best Sony Lenses

Sony has expanded their lens lineup quite a bit in the past few years, and they now offer a wide range of focal length options for many applications and budgets. If you are wondering which lenses are right for your work, check out this great video that features an experienced photographer discussing his 10 favorite Sony lenses. 

Coming to you from Pat Kay, this awesome video discusses 10 of Sony's best lenses. No doubt, a lot of Sony's lenses are quite impressive, but one of the nice things about the E mount is that it also has one of the most robust third party libraries. Tamron, Sigma, and more all make E mount lenses, often at significantly more affordable prices, so if you are looking for a specific focal length and aperture combination, do not forget to also check out other manufacturers' options. For example, I was a huge fan of Tamron's 28-75mm f/2.8, and it remains one of the most popular lenses for the E mount. The E mount also accepts most older lenses via adapter, though you will need to be a bit more careful regarding autofocus performance. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Kay.

So including the 28-60 but not the 135/1.8 GM ? Seriously ? I have the 28-60, it's a decent kit lens that is often in my bag as a backup but never used. It should never be on this list though. The 135 is possibly Sony's sharpest lens with a gorgeous bokeh.
