The Sony A-Mount is a lens mount system developed by Sony for its digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. Introduced in 2006, it allows users to attach a variety of lenses, including those from the earlier Minolta A-mount system. This compatibility provides photographers with a wide range of options for different shooting scenarios. A-Mount cameras feature an electronic interface that enables advanced functionalities, such as autofocus and image stabilization. While Sony has shifted focus to its E-Mount system for mirrorless cameras, the A-Mount remains relevant for users of its DSLR models, ensuring continued support and lens availability.
