FAQ

What lenses fit the Sony a6400?
Any Sony E mount lens fits the Sony a6400 — it uses the Sony E mount. 103 Sony E lenses in our index cover its APS-C sensor natively, from 9mm to 200-600mm.

What is the best first lens for the Sony a6400?
For a versatile single lens, a fast standard prime like the Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF (f/0.95) or a 24-70-class zoom covers most shooting. For people and low light, the Tokina atx-m 33mm f/1.4 E is a strong pick.

Do full-frame Sony E lenses work on the Sony a6400?
Yes — full-frame Sony E lenses mount and work perfectly on the Sony a6400; the APS-C sensor uses the sharp center of the image and the marked focal length acts roughly 1.5× longer.
