As previously mentioned, this lens is only available in Sony E-Mount and covers APS-C image sensors. Ulanzi mentions that it is compatible with the Sony ZV-E1/E10 and Sony A1/A5000/A6000/A7/A9/NEX-series cameras. However, Ulanzi does not mention cinema cameras, such as the Sony FX30. On the side of the lens, there is a USB-C port for future firmware updates, so it’s possible that other cameras will be added in the future.
