I have an a77 seeing as this is full frame nd the a77 is not, would this lens would be overkill?

This is a very large lens. If you don't expect o go to full frame someday, look at the 1680 CZ. I HAVE OWNED THAT ONE AND it is ideal for the cropped sensor cameras.

I have both the A77 & the A99. I use the SAL-2470Z on the full frame camera, and I use the lighter and less expensive SAL-1680Z on the A77.

I'm going to say it's a little overkill, but the lens is a great value. You'll get the cropping factor, but I think that's actually beneficial in this zoom range... with my a99, I often long for more zoom! I've also used it on my a77, and it does great. If you have more questions, do shoot 'em back!

I like 35mm full frame equivalent for my all round lens. This makes the Zeiss Sony 24mm the best lens on the a6000 since it's an aps-c camera. This is an exceptional lens and was the choice on the Nex-7.

I would only purchase this lens if you plan on upgrading to a full size sensor camera. I purchased since I am looking to upgrade to a A7ii. The focal lengths for most lenses can be looked up on any commercial web sight.

I think it would be great on a D700 given it is a full frame sensor. It might be hard to keep moving children in sharp focus with the aperture wide open but if you do it will give great portraiture shots with a great bokeh effect. This is truly one of my favorite lens now even over my 70-200/2.8. It gives that professional look.

Yes, this lens is designed for a full frame sensor. It is a little on the slow side, but still an excellent lens

J Vincent, the crop factor for the a77 is 1.5 i believe therefore it would be 400x1.5 yielding a 600mm and your optical quality would be great. If you use the a77 using RAW mode to save your pictures the lower light gathering capability would not be affected because you can use LightRoom or Photoshop to bring out the "light" data out of your pictures. This lens would in effect become a day time lens unless you are using it while on a good tripod. As to the Canon PS I have no knowledge of. Still the optical quality of this glass would tend to overpoewer anything that the Canon fixed lens could offer. Hope this helps.

No, it is a dt lens which means it is for crop sensors. The a7 is a full frame. On top of that the the a7 uses the e-mount and this is an a-mount meaning it would also require an adapter to work properly.

Yes, but I wont recommend it. a7 is a full frame camera and it will auto adapt your half-frame lens. However, in my opinion, lens comes more important than the body. If you want the full frame a7, you should invest some money in the full frame lens too.

As long as you are not shooting full frame this would be a great lens for your purposes but remember, it is for APS-C only.

Yes this is a full frame lens. In my opinion it is a lot of lens for the money. It's fast and very sharp.
2200259
Yes it can, and it is a great lens. I have the A77 with the 16-50 Sony lens. The Tokina and that lens were nearly impossible to differentiate from in quality. I had wanted a wider angle lens, so got the Tokina and only returned it because the difference in its coverage and the coverage I already had with the Sony was too similar to warrant the cost. I also have a friend that used the lens consistently with his Nikon 300 and loves it.

No I don't think so. If you put that lense on a camera that is not FULL frame, you just gain distance. If you put it on FULL frame, you get a good clear shot. I like the lens.

Yes, this Sony A-mount lens will fit perfectly to your A77 (A-mount body type) camera.-Ely

Yes sir. Its definitely a full frame lens. I use the d610. And the macro on this lens is great

It's a beautiful lens and should work fine on your camera. Just remember the crop factor turns this into a 28-65mm.
2190678
Yes, this lens is fully functional with the a7, with the excretion that the image will be cropped. Applying the crop factor to the 12mm FL should give you a relative FL of 18mm.

Yes, it works well. However, my problem with the A7 was the auto focus failing a lot. I returned it.
