Comptability

[Alforno]

Hello,

I am sony full frame user from Belgium and hope to have nice exchanges here. I have been doing photography for more than 10 years and it is still my passion. 😀

I plan maybe to buy a new sony full frame body from British or American websites. So, is such a devise compatible with a belgian sony fe lens (I've got a sony 50mm f1.8,)? Thank you 🔳

The compatibility does not have anything to do with the country it's bought in, it comes from the lens & camera mount.  Sony made a-mount cameras and lenses as well as e-mount cameras and lenses.  If you currently have a-mount cameras & lenses, and the cameras or lenses you want to buy are a-mount there will not be any compatibility issues no matter what country they come from.

But it the camera or lenses have a different mount than what you currently have, there will be compatibility issues.

You can buy adapters to put e-mount lenses on a-mount cameras. 

As far as I know, no one makes adapters to put e-mount lenses on a-mount cameras.

Since you don't say exactly what camera you currently have, there's not much more we can say.

@Xkaes : I've got a Sony a7 i, it is compatible with EF lenses only and plan to buy an EF lens from abroad.

You won't have any trouble buying your lenses from wherever you want.

You got the first one backwards! 😆 

You can buy adapters to put A-Mount lenses on E-Mount cameras.

Thanks for correcting that that BIG screw-up!!!

I'll add that Alforno can put a LOT more than just a-mount lenses on the Sony A7 camera -- with adapters of course.

I knew what you meant! 

The forum software kind of sucks, in that you can't go back and edit to correct these kinds of mistakes. That will live forever unless a mod fixes it. Any other forum would let you edit your own post.

You can, but only in like the first 10 minutes after posting it. Kinda makes sense to me though as it prevents falsification of history.
