If I were to put this lens on an APS C camera like NEX series, what would the equivalent focal length be?

I would only purchase this lens if you plan on upgrading to a full size sensor camera. I purchased since I am looking to upgrade to a A7ii. The focal lengths for most lenses can be looked up on any commercial web sight.

Hi Alex, the focal length will still be 24-70mm. It will only change when mounted on á series camera with APS-C type sensors, the actual angle of view will be equal to the angle obtained at a focal length approx. 1.5 times longer than stated. -Vincent

The focal length is only 35 max, you don't need IS at this point. The further the focal length goes, the more you need IS. Don't worry.

I use a Nex 7 so am answering with no hands on trial. This lens should be able to work on a A7 with full autofocus and exposure, but it may be better to check with Zeiss directly. Image size will be 18 mm if you use the A7 as an APS mode. Can be 12 mm but will get vignetting. Check DP Review. Probably will get real world experiences if you post your question there. May already have been asked and in their archives. Hope this helps.

No, you do not get an image crop--in fact you get the opposite in that you get a wider view of the lenses than you would see compared to using a crop sensor camera. What will happen if you use a lens designed for an APS-C camera is vignetting at the edges as the image circle of the lens will not adequately cover the larger area of a full-frame sensor--especially at the shorter focal lengths. The "cropping factor" applies when using crop-sensor cameras: when a certain focal length lens will have the framing of a lens about 1.5-1.6 times its focal length when being used on an APS-C crop sensor camera compared to what would be seen with that lens on a full-frame camera.

2.8 will provide a wider view, reference the link for a relative example. http://learnphotographywithtomgrill.blogspot.com/2011/05/lenses-introduction-to-focal-lengths.html

This lens is specific to the APS-C format sensor (DX sensor in Nikon parlance) - it works great on both my D7100's as well an older D5100. The focus motor is fast and accurate and picture quality is superb.

Yes, that's the cam i bought it for and it's worth every penny. Just know that your buying a prime lens, and you'll have a 1.5 crop factor with the APS C sensor. So the reality is really more of 50mm lens.

Yes it will, but not the same as on a NEX camera. It will still be a wide angle lens, but not as wide. and your image size will reduced.

I have the same Sony Nex5 and this len works as a charm. Just to make sure, this is a prime len, so there is not zoom on it, how ever the F value is pretty better than the stock (at least in my case) 18-55mm len

It'll work on NEX7 with the A mount to NEX adapter.On aps-c camera,this lens will become 105-600,awesome!!!

The sensor is one half the size of a 35mm frame. So, a little smaller than APS-C a little bigger than the Nikon 1 and far larger than compact point and shoots. The lens is a 14mm to 42mm which is the same as a 28mm to 84mm on a full frame camera. That works out to a 3x zoom.

If you're using on the APC-S type sensor (i.e. like on the Sony a6000) there will be a crop factor of about x1.5 (so this is equivalent to about 45MM --> 30 * 1.5) - oops - looks like this was already answered below. Great lens - not as sharp as I was expecting in low light - for which situation you're better off with Sony's 50mm f/1.8).

Yes. That is a standard EOS mount. This lens is made for full frame, so on an APS-C sensor (as in D50) it will feel ~1.3x longer (~117mm) and you will only be recording the center of the image circle. Great lens! And you can keep it if you ever move up to a 5dMKII or III.... Obviously, make sure to buy it in Canon EOS mount.

This lens has a comparable focal length of 16 - 28.8mm in a 35mm equivalent. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

The 18-55mm SAM II is made for APS-C sensors, so you will get a sensor crop (APS-C area on the full frame A7 at the correct focal length) or a lot of vignetting if you use the whole sensor. The 55-200mm should behave the same way. The 50mm 1.8 is made for APS-C. The 1.4 is made for full frame and will send light to the whole sensor.

Hello, this would be the full frame equivalent of an 85mm 1.2. The focal length does multiply but the aperture would not. Hope that helps.

It should. I've never used a NEX camera or adapter...but according to the adapter specs you should be fine. I have used this lens with a-mount teleconverters and auto focus worked fine.
