Is this lens compatible with my Sony camera?
This lens has a Sony E mount, so it is compatible with Sony mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors, such as the A6000, A6100, A6300, A6400, A6500, A6600 series, etc. It can also be used on full-frame cameras in crop mode (APS-C), but note that it is designed to cover the APS-C sensor area.
Does it have autofocus?
No, this is a manual focus lens. It is designed for cinema and video, where manual focus control is essential. The 180-degree rotation allows precise and smooth focusing, and the focus gear is compatible with follow focus systems.
What does it mean that the maximum aperture is T2.2?
The T-number (T-stop) indicates the actual light transmission of the lens, unlike the f-number which is theoretical. T2.2 means the lens lets in an amount of light equivalent to f/2.2, but more precisely for video exposure. This allows working in low light conditions with excellent quality.
Does this lens have image stabilization?
No, this lens does not include optical stabilization. However, many Sony APS-C cameras have in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which can compensate for vibrations. If your camera does not have IBIS, we recommend using a tripod or stabilizer for static shots.
