>>3156937>So where are the crop lenses Here are the crop lenses:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/lenses/t/camera-lenses?cameramount=e-mount&sensor-lens=aps-cAs you can see, they pretty much have all of the important crop-sensor lenses covered. You really just need some compact lenses for people who want a small camera setup (they've got two pancake primes and a retracting pancake zoom), and ultrawide/wide/standard-zoom lenses since full frame lenses that cover wide angles won't be wide enough on crop. They've got all of those, and more.
>and why aren't they making them?Because, again, they've already got them. What they need to build up is their full frame lineup, since that's so much newer and they're behind Canon and Nikon with their lens lineup. And, as others have mentioned, full frame lenses also work on crop sensors. And full frame telephotos work *better* on crop sensors, since the crop factor makes them longer.
Plus, sometimes product cycles just mean that there's a little gap between releases. Back in 2012, I had an argument with someone on here who was telling me that full frame was dead because nobody had released a full frame camera since 2009. Later that year, the 5D Mark III, 6D, D4, D800, D800E, D600, and A99 were all released. That guy was an idiot. You're being just as much of an idiot.
Also: Canon hasn't released a new EF-S lens since 2014, so I guess that means that Canon is out of the crop camera business too. And Nikon's last lens release of any kind was in 2014, and that was a crop sensor lens, so I guess Nikon's just out of the camera business entirely.
