Zoom lenses are great for giving you the most flexibility, enabling a range of focal lengths to be accessible without having to change the lens.\u00a0However, it can be tough trying to decide what to buy when considering the best zoom lenses for Sony cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n

When choosing a zoom lens, you need to think about which type of camera you\u2019ve got. That\u2019s made a little more tricky with Sony when you consider that the company currently offers both full-frame and APS-C sensor cameras for its DSLT A mount and E mount – so that\u2019s four different types of lenses.\u00a0 <\/span>If you\u2019re shooting with one of the APS-C type cameras, such as the Sony A6500, you\u2019ll need to consider the \u201ccrop factor\u201d when looking at a lens. With Sony cameras, this equates to 1.5x the length written on the lens. So, for example, a 16-70mm lens actually offers a 35mm equivalent of 24-105mm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, think about the type of zoom lens you want. In this piece, we have separated the choices into two options – standard zooms and telephoto zoom lenses. Standard zooms are great choices to use as \u201ceveryday\u201d lenses, something you\u2019re likely to have on your camera most of the time, being useful for a wide range of conditions. By contrast, you\u2019ll want to use a telephoto zoom for subjects such as action, sports and wildlife – anything where you need to get closer to the subject.

Sony FE 16-35mm f\/2.8 G Master Lens<\/span><\/h3>\n

For: Full-frame E Mount | Street price: \u00a32,299<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sony<\/p>\n

One of Sony\u2019s newest optics to be added to its stunning \u201cG Master\u201d range is the 16-35mm f\/2.8 G Master. This standard zoom is incredibly sharp and gives you a good walk around option, with the wide angle being great for landscapes and architecture, while the shorter end is ideal for street photography. The wide maximum aperture is available throughout the zoom lens, making it great for low light photography and capturing a shallow depth of field effect.<\/span><\/p>\n
