I want a lens similar to this for my A Sony DSLR a 35. If this fits an E-Mount, it won't fit an a mount will it? Why is it referred to as an Alpha?

A-Mount is the lens system for some Sony, Minolta Maxxum and a few others, Alpha is the series of system cameras from Sony including the A-Mount and E-mount. And No there are no pancake lenses available from Sony for the A-Mount cameras and nothing I have seen comes quite that close to thinness in the A-Mount series. The closest you will get I think would be the SAL35F18 (Sony 35mm F1.8).

Gerry, this lens is an A-mount SONY lens that will fit your Alpha 58 just fine! Your camera is one of the many A-mount cameras SONY has produced over the last decade. (My SONY 18-250 lens works on my SONY A330, A57, A65 and A77 cameras.) Enjoy what your camera and this lens will be able to do together.

I am not sure. This lens is for A-mount Sony alfa series camera. You should check which type of lens mount is required for alpha 3000? Now, mostly, A-mount or E-mount in Sony camera.

The lenses I use all have an aperture ring so I don't use it. Not sure if a lens without would engage. Certainly I have no aperture control from my alpha7. The adapter ring only opens...if the lens ring is f8, you can only go wider on my lenses.

The lens would require a T-mount to fit on your camera. The Sony Alpha t-mount sells for $12.95 at Amazon listing #B0088ZWHI2.

Hi Tired, You need a Sony Lens Mount LA-EA4 Adapter to attach the A-mount lens to your E-mount camera. -Vincent

NO....THIS IS A SONY E MOUNT WHICH IS FAR DIFFERENT THAN THE MINOLTA/SONY MOUNT. YOU CAN BUY A FAIRLY EXPENSIVE ADAPTER THAT RETAINS FUNCTIONALITY OF SONY/MINOLTA LENSES ON SONY E MOUNT CAMERAS. BUT FOR ABOUT 20 DOLLARS OR SO, YOU CAN BUY A MUCH SIMPLER ADAPTER BUT YOU WON'T GET AUTO FOCUS OR AUTO FUNCTION OF THE APERTURE....WHICH IS NOT THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE USING WIDE ANGLE LENSES. So there is a work around .... in general E mount lenses are sort of limited and if you buy Sony E mount lenses, you will pay a premium if you buy new. Look at the used market in regards to Sony E mount lenses first..... I have been using the Sony E mount 16mm lens with the full frame fisheye aux lens that is dedicated ONLY to be used on that 16mm pancake .............and I cannot tell how fun that combo is!!! Sony makes a second wide angle aux lens for that same lens but I would not waste your money since the full frame fisheye aux lens is what you would want ..... So the short answer is NO and the long answer is yes with either using a very expensive full function adapter or a much, much cheaper non electronic alternative. Fortunately, AMAZON is now as good as EBAY for these types of accessories so you don't even have to search around EBAY any longer but only if you want to compare costs.

it must correspond to the correct mm lens... the one i have is a 55mm and it fits perfectly on my Sony alpha 58

I do not own a Sony Alpha 3000 so I cannot say for sure, however Sony describes this camera as having an " E-mount" which is the same designation they use for my Sony NEX-5. If it is different they should give it another name.

Yep. The confusingly named Sony alpha a6000 works with the e mount lenses that were made for the nex line.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that question. I have a 18 to 55 mm and a 18 to 135 mm Sony which are great lenses. I just don't have any experience with a alpha a300. A call to their local distributor or the Sony website should get that information for you. John F

Hi, this Sony Alpha Digital Camera A6000 is an E-mouth body type camera. This lens, SAL18250 is an A-mount type of lens. It means that they will not fit in, however, you may use the Sony A mount to E mount lens adaptor: LA-EA4 or LA-EA3. -Hope this helps. -Ely

Yes..I think that all Minolta lenses has A- mount..which is the mount for Alpha Sony cameras....Im using the beercan 70-210mm & the mini beercan 35-70mm with excellent results !!

If the lens would work on a Minolta Maxxum camera then it should fit. The Sony alpha mount is compatible with the old Minolta Maxxum lenses. Good luck.

I have used several Sony alpha and Minolta Maxxum lenses with my Sony E mount camera in a manual focus mode. I like that I can adjust the aperture of the lens with this adapter. You may have to set your camera to fire without a lens, since it will not detect the adapter.
