FAQ

What lenses fit the Sony a7R IV?
Any Sony E mount lens fits the Sony a7R IV — it uses the Sony E mount. 76 Sony E lenses in our index cover its full-frame sensor natively, from 12-24mm to 200-600mm.

What is the best first lens for the Sony a7R IV?
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 Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II is a strong pick.

Can I use APS-C lenses on the Sony a7R IV?
Yes, but the Sony a7R IV switches to crop mode and uses only the center of the sensor (lower resolution). For full quality, use the full-frame Sony E lenses listed above.
