It would be a mistake to talk about E-mount lenses without discussing one of the initial advantages of a mirrorless system: the ability to adapt lenses from other lens mounts. Sony’s imaging heritage includes a vast series of A-mount lenses, meant for its SLR/SLT cameras, which includes plenty of gems. To ensure existing users can easily migrate to mirrorless, as well as provide new mirrorless shooters a way to use legendary A-mount optics, Sony developed its own lens adapters, with the latest being the LA-EA5, that support electronic communication between A-mount lenses and E-mount cameras.
Having evolved over the years, Sony now offers a selection of lens adapters to suit different cameras and lenses.
