Does the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G fit the Sony a1?

Yes, it mounts — both are Sony E. But the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G is an APS-C lens on a full-frame Sony a1, so the body uses only the centre of its sensor (crop mode, lower resolution). The 10-20mm then frames like 15–30mm.

What "crop mode" means here

The Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G is designed to cover an APS-C sensor, and the Sony a1 has a full-frame one. The lens mounts and works, but the body reads only the centre of its sensor to match the lens — a lower-resolution file than the Sony a1 produces with a full-frame lens. Framing follows the crop: 10-20mm looks like 15–30mm.

If you want the Sony a1's full resolution, use a full-frame Sony E lens instead — all 76 of them are listed here.

FAQ

Does the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G fit the Sony a1?
Yes. The Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G is a Sony E lens and the Sony a1 is a Sony E body, so it mounts. Because the lens is APS-C and the body is full-frame, the Sony a1 switches to crop mode and uses only the centre of its sensor, producing a lower-resolution file.

Will autofocus work?
We do not publish autofocus behaviour — FitMyLens stores only the specs that are fixed facts of the product (mount, focal length, maximum aperture, sensor coverage). Check the Sony product page for AF support on the Sony a1.

What focal length will I actually get?
15–30mm equivalent. In crop mode the Sony a1 reads an APS-C-sized area, so the 10-20mm frames like a 1.5× longer lens.
