DxOMark has been busy testing lenses for the Sony NEX system, and has just published an article detailing which lenses score best on the NEX-7. As part of our ongoing collaboration, we've added the test data for most of Sony's own E-mount primes to our lens widget, which you can use to assess their performance and compare them against each other. We'll be adding Sony's zoom lenses and third-party primes very soon, but for now you can explore the test data for the Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm F1.8 ZA, E 20mm F2.8, E 30mm F3.5 Macro, E 35mm F1.8 OSS and E 50mm F1.8 OSS.

The Sony E 16mm F2.8 isn't on this list, but we looked at it back in 2010 as part of our review of the Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5. Click here to read our assessment of the Sony E 16mm F2.8, including data in our original lens widget.

Our unique lens data widget allows you to assess and compare lenses' sharpness, chromatic aberration, vignetting and distortion at a range of settings. It also displays the measured focal length and T-stop. Click here to read about how to use our lens data widget.
