One limit of this table: it lists only Sony E lenses that mount natively on the Sony a6400 — lenses fitted through an adapter are not included here. See which mounts adapt to which.
What these focal lengths actually give you on the Sony a6400
The Sony a6400 has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. That works against you here: the widest option, the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D, frames like 14mm — not as wide as its marked number suggests. For a genuinely wide view on the Sony a6400 you want a lens marked around 16mm or shorter.

| Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 (A084) | 570g | Weather-sealed (Tamron's own term is "Moisture-Resistant Construction" — "leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel"; the maker does not use the words weather-sealed. Source page states "Length and weight are for Sony E-mount", so 570g is the Sony E figure (the nikon-z entry's 585g comes from a different source and is not in conflict).) |

| Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art | 795g | Weather-sealed |
