A:AnswerHi BruceF, Yes. A lens hood helps block unwanted light when taking pictures where the camera is pointing towards a strong source of light. It is recommended to use a compatible Sony lens hood for this lens: http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/accessories/compatibility.php?area=gb&lang=en&mdl=SEL55210&cat=53

A:AnswerHi aziz, yes, this lens is compatible with the A7 with some limitations including, SteadyShot not being supported, and the angle of view will be narrower down to that of APS-C size. Regards, -Mark
A:AnswerThis lens is designed for a smaller sensor size than the A7. If you want full benefit of a full size sensor, you'll need to get an SEL24240 or SEL70200G.
A:AnswerThis is an e-mount lens and since your A7 Sii is also an e-mount body the lens will fit and mount to the camera. The images from this lens will be recorded in the crop mode on your full-frame camera. You can choose to turn that auto-cropping off and your full frame image will exhibit vignetting that you can handle in post (if you shoot RAW.) An APS-C lens on a full frame camera will only give good coverage on the smaller size area of the full frame sensor. Image sizes for full frame are 36 x 24 mm vs 22.2 x 14.8 mm for APS-C.
A:AnswerGood affordable telephoto zoom lens for landscapes, not for wildlife or sports. Also compact and light compared to constant-aperature telephotos.
A:AnswerYou probably have already gotten an answer to this question but I will answer for the others that may have the same query. Since the A7 R is an-mount body the e-mount lens will fit and mount to the camera. Since the lens is APS-C the images on the full frame camera (like your A7 R) will be recorded in crop mode. You may be able to turn-off the auto crop on your camera and record the full frame image which will exhibit vignetting due to the smaller coverage size of the APS-C.
A:AnswerHi DanceMom, yes, the SEL55210 is compatible with the A5100 alpha camera. You can use any E-Mount (SEL) lens with this camera model. Thanks_Mitch
