Q: QuestionI just purchased a Sony ZV-E10. Will this lense work for shooting YouTube talking head videos? If not, what would be a better option?

Asked 1 year ago by techedoff.

• A:Answer Hi JustVlog, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The lens focal length for talking head videos we recommend would be ranging from 11mm to 35mm. You can still use 50mm but since it is an APSC sensor camera the focal length will become 75mm which you would need a lot of room between the camera and the subject to be in frame. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony. For any questions or concerns, you can reach us at 239-245-6360. - Pakorn (Sony Social Support)

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with an a7r3 camera?

Asked 4 years ago by Mabi.

• A:Answer Hi Mabi, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The lens is compatible with the Sony Alpha A7R3 however, the lens is originally designed for an APS-C sensor cameras like the A6xxx series so when you use this on a full frame camera like the A7R3 the field of view for 50mm lens will become (50x1.5) = 75mm lens. If you are looking for a true 50mm lens designed for full frame camera we recommend this model : SEL50F18F

Q: QuestionWill this work on my Sony A6400?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes it will. I use it on my 6400. It's sharp as nobody's business and paired with the 6400's autofocus, you're going to love it. ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND, on the 6400 it's going to act like a 75mm, not a 50mm. I do cafe and food photography and it's an amazing lens for it, but I really have to step away from the coffee cup to get the shot since it's so "zoomed" in. But if you're comfortable getting like 10 feet away from whatever you're shooting, then you'll love it.

Q: QuestionIs this lens compatible with a Sony a58?

Asked 5 years ago by Mona.

• A:Answer It has to be an E mount type lens. Or camera. I don’t believe the Sony a58 is an e mount camera. However I’m sure you could find a lens adapter for it but then you’re probably spending more then you’d like.

Q: QuestionIs this the best and mostbreasonably priced lens for landscape photos?

Asked 6 years ago by Tigerron.

• A:Answer I would say this is not the best lens for landscape photography, but it definitely can be, but you might not get the shots you want. The 50mm is better for portrait photography. If you are looking for a prime lens that would be good for landscape photography, I would suggest the 35mm. To be very honest, if you don’t have a lot of money, the kit lens can definitely do the trick too at a more reasonable price if you can afford the other Sony lens.
