Will it fit?

What lenses fit the Sony BURANO?

The short answer

The Sony BURANO has a Sony E mount and a full frame sensor. Sony E lenses fit directly, and it takes PL lenses with its own adapter. LPL, Canon EF, Nikon F, Canon FD, M42 and Leica M lenses fit with an adapter. Fujifilm X and Nikon Z lenses can't be adapted to its Sony E mount.

What the Sony BURANO asks of a lens

The sensor
8.6K full frame, the VENICE 2 image in a body one person can carry, with in-body stabilisation and autofocus.
What to put on it
Native E-mount, and unlike VENICE it is built to be used that way — Sony's G Master glass gives you working autofocus and IBIS. PL adapts, but you lose both.
A pairing that works
Sony G Master primes native, because autofocus and stabilisation are the entire argument for this body over a VENICE.
What it gets booked for
Documentary and small-crew drama that wants VENICE colour without a VENICE-sized crew.
Worth knowing
IBIS and AF are the reason to book a BURANO over a VENICE. Putting PL glass on the front turns it into a heavier, lower-resolution VENICE.

Every lens mount on the Sony BURANO

Fits directly

  • Sony E lenses

    The camera's own mount — nothing extra needed.

Fits with the camera's own adapter

  • PL lenses

    Goes on with the PL adapter the camera ships with — check it's in the kit.

Fits with an adapter

  • LPL lenses

    Needs an LPL-to-Sony E adapter (specialist LPL adapter).

  • Canon EF lenses

    Needs a Canon EF-to-Sony E adapter (e.g. Metabones or Sigma MC-11). A smart adapter keeps autofocus.

  • Nikon F lenses

    Needs a Nikon F-to-Sony E adapter. Whether autofocus works depends on the adapter.

  • Canon FD lenses

    Needs a Canon FD-to-Sony E adapter.

  • M42 lenses

    Needs an M42-to-Sony E adapter.

  • Leica M lenses

    Needs a Leica M-to-Sony E adapter.

No standard adapter

  • Fujifilm G lenses

    Physically possible, but there's no standard Fujifilm G-to-Sony E adapter — ask the owner.

  • Canon RF lenses

    Physically possible, but there's no standard Canon RF-to-Sony E adapter — ask the owner.

  • L-Mount lenses

    Physically possible, but there's no standard L-Mount-to-Sony E adapter — ask the owner.

  • Micro Four Thirds lenses

    Physically possible, but there's no standard Micro Four Thirds-to-Sony E adapter — ask the owner.

Won't fit

  • Fujifilm X lenses

    A Fujifilm X lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the Sony E mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Nikon Z lenses

    A Nikon Z lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the Sony E mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

Some cameras can have a different lens mount fitted by a technician. If a rental comes that way the listing will say so, and this table won't apply.

Sensor coverage

Lenses made for full frame and large format cover its full frame sensor fully.

Lenses made for Super 16, Micro Four Thirds and Super 35 throw a smaller image, so expect dark corners unless you shoot in a crop mode that matches.

Mounts and adapters are checked against flange distance and the adapters that are actually sold. Kits vary — if a pairing matters for your shoot, confirm it with the owner before you book.
