Third Party E-Mount Lenses On The Way as Sony Discloses Specs

Nex 5.jpgThe folks at Sony have decided to disclose the specifications for their E-mount lenses to manufacturers of lenses and mount adapters. They're doing it absolutely free too, which means a large group of companies are going to be able to make E-Mount lenses in the near future.

Among the companies supporting this decision are Carl Zeiss AG, Cosina, Sigma and Tamron. That's a huge chunk of lens manufacturers and certainly a great sign of things to come in the future.

"We have high expectations for the "E-mount" with its aims to create a new photography culture," says a representative from Cosina.

Tamron concurs, stating "We aim to offer our customers new solutions and unprecedented photo-shooting enjoyment through the manufacture and sale of "E-mount" lenses."
