Length: 126mm | Diameter: 95mm | Weight: 1220g | Filter Thread: – | Released: March 2017 | Price (January 2023): $1599 Really hard to recommend to E-mount users. The Laowa 2/15 does not perform much worse for astro at less than half the weight and price. Recommendation: The aforementioned Sony lens offers least as good performance in a significantly smaller package for the same price.

Recommendation: Great lens for single shot landscape astrophotography and especially for taking pictures of the northern lights where stacking is not an option.
higher than average sample variation, check for centering within return period.Length: 150mm | Diameter: 101mm | Weight: 1170g | Filter Thread: none | Released: June 2023 | Price (June 2023): $1599 We have to wait for reliable tests to show up before being able to give a useful recommendation. It is huge and heavy and I am curious to see what its performance will actually be like. Sigma specifically markets this as a lens for astrophotography.

That may contain some adapted/exotic options not listed here. We do however cover some of the attractive ones that have been specifically designed for E-mount. Most of these are SLR-lenses with a modified mount and we decided against covering these because we think that most of them are not very attractive lenses. There are also quite a few lenses which have an E-mount but no electronic contacts. In this article we mainly list lenses which have electronic contacts to communicate aperture and focal length to the camera. We will also talk about lens aberrations, if you don’t know too much about these terms maybe have a look at our article Lens aberrations explained first. We are also independent from any lens manufacturer and when you check our reviews you will see that we do not hesitate to name any shortcomings of a lens. So we have an in-depth knowledge of these lenses not only because we use them all the time but also because we have reviewed many of them in detail. We are a team of five photographers who all use the FE system and this blog is focused on lens reviews. Choose the right lens for your Sony Alpha with the help of our independent knowledge gained by writing many in-depth reviews.
