Cityscape photography could be captured with virtually any focal length. How do you decide which one is right for your creative prowess? Here is a list of the 4 Sony lenses that are the best for capturing cityscapes wherever the road takes you.
These four Sony G Master lenses are Sony’s professional quality lenses and are designed to work with current and future full-frame Sony mirrorless e-mount cameras. G Master is the designation for outstanding speed, efficiency, and reliability. I also love that they are all-weather sealed and intuitively designed featuring a programmable focus-hold button.
The Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM lens is versatile and dramatic focal range. It’s fun to work with the ultra-wide when capturing architecture. Since this lens is well corrected for curvature and distortion, it performs well throughout the range.
- Fast Focusing Performance
- Integrated petal-shaped lens hood
- The filter holder is incorporated at the rear of the lens

The Sony FE 35mm f1.4 GM lens is classically known as an essential full-frame prime lens. The G Master F1.4 version is one of the best 35mm ever released. Although it’s a fixed focal length, it is versatile for a variety of subjects since it offers a slightly wider-than-natural perspective. The F1.4 aperture makes this an excellent night photography companion as it allows plenty of light in even the most challenging low lighting environments.
- F1.4 aperture for excellent low light
- Beautiful bokeh and background separation
- Incredibly fast autofocus
The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM is another versatile zoom lens with an ultra-wide-angle perspective capable of superbly sharp results. It delivers consistent resolution from corner to corner and is also well corrected throughout the range.
- Crazy sharp from corner to corner
- Well corrected – great for architecture
- Lens coatings prevent flare when shooting into the sun
