16-70mm F4 Lens – Buy this lens from Amazon | B&H

1. Best Standard Zoom Lens for Sony A6400

The best Zoom lens for your Sony A6400 camera is 16-70mm F4 Lens. As you all know the lens is bit costly ($998) but one of the best lenses available for the camera right now.

One of the best things you will notice while using the lens produces very sharp images and features a constant F4 aperture throughout the zoom range. The build quality of the lens is very solid and the image stabilization of the lens is highly effective and works upto four shutter speed steps to benefit while handheld shooting. Btw, when you are buying a camera like Sony A64000 then you have to buy a lens with better OIS since the camera doesn’t have built-in image stabilization system.

The lens isn’t affordable but you will find the cost reasonable once you see the output from this lens. If you think the price is high then just imagine that you are buying a bunch of high-quality prime lenses. It’s expensive but it’s a Zeiss OSS and you get what you pay for when quality is your priority.

2. Affordable Standard Zoom Lens Option for Sony A6400

Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens. Now as we know that it’s not possible for most of us to buy a $1K lens after getting the Sony A6400 camera. So, in this section, we are talking about the affordable lenses that easily fits in your budget.

Affordable Option – If you don’t want to spend $1K cash on Sony 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens then you should go for Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens.

Now, as you can easily notice the cost of the 18-105mm lens is just half compared to the 16-70mm lens. But there is also a slight difference in image quality between the two

The lens costs approx 1/2 of the 16-70 F4 lens. But As we have said early the 16-70mm lens performance is equivalent to a series of prime lenses performed together and the difference between the two lenses is visible when we test them together in Lab. The test result does show the 16-70mm F4 is noticeably sharper than 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens.

The Good: Covers wide range | The Bad: Affordable

3. Best Telephoto Zoom Lens for Sony A6400

We are talking about the best Zoom lens right now, so as usual, we are not counting up the price factor in this recommendation. The best Zoom lens if Price isn’t an issue is the Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8. As you all know that’s a FE lens (fullframe lens).

The 70-200mm lens is one of the best lens that Sony ever made. For DSLR users I must say that this lens is as good as Canon 70-200mm F2.8 OR Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 Since. The Sony A6500 and the 20-700mm F2.8 is a killer combo. A perfect lens for shooting sports, wildlife, wedding, and Portraits. The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 lens focuses very fast when paired with Sony A6500 and delivers stunning images with excellent color and contrast without any noticeable Aberration/Distortion throughout the zoom range.

You Can also use  Both the 1.4x and the 2.0x teleconverters with this lens. The teleconverters maintain excellent image quality while boosting the focal-length of the image upto 2X.

4. Best Affordable Zoom Lens ($348)

The Best option available under affordable price range. The Sony 55-210mm lens is a produce sharp result when used at bit higher aperture. The lens features very light-weight (compared to the DSLR zoom lenses I have used till now) and the lens bokeh quality isn’t so eye catching so don’t try to have portrait sessions with this lens.

The Good: Good general purpose zoom lens| The Bad: only zoom lens for E-mount

7. Best Lens for Macro Shooting

Sony 30mm F3.5 lens is the perfect Macro Lens for Sony A6400. The lens captures tack sharp images at 1:1 proportion and features very well controlled Chromatic aberration. The lens features minimum focusing distance of 9.5 cm and the focal-length of the lens is 30cm. In general the standard Focal-Length of a normal macro DSLR lens varies between 60mm to 100mm, so with a 30mm macro lens you have to get closer to the subject to get a prefect shot. The lens is very durable and made up of aluminum alloy. But keep in mind you have to use tripod all the time to get perfect picture since the Lens and Camera both doesn’t have Image stabilization system.

The α6400 introduces an advanced ‘Real-time Eye AF’, the latest version of Sony’s acclaimed Eye AF technology. This exciting new capability employs artificial intelligence-based object recognition to detect and process eye data in real time, resulting in improved accuracy, speed and tracking performance of Eye AF. In all autofocus modes, the camera now automatically detects the eyes of the subject and activates Eye AF with a half press of the shutter button, and when in AF-C or AF-A mode, the preferred eye (left or right) of your subject can be selected as the focus point. Choices include Auto / Right Eye / Left Eye, and a Switch Right / Left Eye function can be assigned to a custom function as well. This exciting new technology completely frees the photographer to focus solely on composition with full trust that focus will be tack sharp on the subject’s eye. Eye AF support for animals[vii] will be added in Summer 2019 via a system software update, ideal for wildlife photographers.

Also debuting on the α6400 is Sony’s newly developed ‘Real-time Tracking’. This mode utilises Sony’s latest algorithm including Artificial Intelligence based object recognition and processes colour, subject distance (depth), pattern (brightness) as spatial information to ensure that all subjects can be captured with excellent accuracy. Plus, when photographing or videoing humans or animals, face and eye position information is recognised by AI and the subjects eyevii is monitored in real time with extremely high tracking precision. This can be activated by a simple half press of the shutter button[viii], or can be assigned to a custom function as well.

In terms of overall shooting speeds, the new camera can shoot at up to 11 fpsiv with full AF/AE tracking while utilising the mechanical shutter, and up to 8 fpsv with full AF/AE tracking while silent shooting. It can shoot at each of these speeds for up to 116 frames JPEG Standard / 46 frames RAW compressed, greatly increasing the chances of capturing the perfect moment.

All-around Advancements in Image Quality

Sony’s new α6400 is equipped with a 24.2 MPiii APS-C sized image sensor that is paired with an upgraded BIONZ X processor to deliver incredible advancements in image quality and colour reproduction in all types of shooting conditions. Standard ISO ranges up to ISO 32000 for both still and movie and is expandable up to ISO 102400 for still images, with excellent noise reduction at medium and high sensitivities.

The camera also inherits many of the image processing algorithms from Sony’s newest full-frame cameras, greatly suppressing noise while preserving resolution and improving texture depiction.

Advanced High-Resolution 4Kvi Movie Recording with Fast Hybrid Autofocus

The versatile α6400 is an exceptional video camera, offering internal 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) movie recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning to collect about 2.4x the amount of data required for 4K movies, and then oversamples it to produce high quality 4K footage with exceptional detail and depth. Focusing during movie shooting is fast and stable thanks to upgraded Fast Hybrid AF technology, which keeps the subject in constant smooth focus no matter the scene, and even if an object crosses in front. This advanced AF plus touch focus functionality make it an ideal camera choice for many vloggers and video creators that are regularly creating and uploading content online.

For time-lapse movie creation[ix], the new camera features built-in interval recording that can be set anywhere between 1 and 60 seconds, with a total number of shots from 1 to 9999. AE tracking sensitivity can be adjusted to “High”, “Mid” or “Low” during interval shooting, allowing for reduced changes in exposure over the shooting interval.

Additionally, for the first time in a Sony APS-C mirrorless camera, the new model includes an HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profile, which supports an Instant HDR workflow, allowing HDR (HLG) compatible TV’s to playback beautiful, true-to-life 4K HDR[x] imagery. Furthermore, both S-Log2 and S-Log3[xi] are available for increased colour grading flexibility, as well as Zebra functionality, Gamma Display assist and proxy recording. The camera can also record Full HD at 120 fps[xii] at up to 100 Mbps, allowing footage to be reviewed and eventually edited into 4x or 5x slow-motion video files in Full HD resolution with AF tracking.

Upgraded Build to Maximise Versatility

The new camera is designed to offer a high level of functionality and customisation to maximise shooting freedom. New on the α6400 is a 180-degree, fully tiltable, 3.0-type LCD flip screen with 921k-dots of resolution that allows for simple and effective framing of selfie-style shooting for both still and video capture. Utilising this capability, vloggers will be able to check and monitor composition throughout their entire creative process. The LCD screen is also equipped with touch functionality, with options for Touch Pad, Touch Focus, Touch Shutter and new Touch Tracking which quickly activates ‘Real-time Tracking’ through the touch screen.

The camera features a high quality XGA OLED Tru-finder™ viewfinder, extensive customisation with 89 functions that are assignable to 8 custom keys, the new My Dial and My Menu functionality, enhanced overall menu usability, a help screen for menus, star rating for images, and many other features that allow for a seamless shooting experience. It is also built with a tough magnesium alloy design, is dust and moisture resistant[xiii] and has an extremely durable shutter that is rated for approximately 200,000 cycles[xiv]. It is also capable of seamlessly transferring files to a smartphone or tablet when connected to the brand-new ‘Imaging Edge Mobile’application[xv].
