Lens Recommendations

Wave uses a passive, locking lens mount compatible with E-mount lenses and adapters. There is no electrical connection to the lens, so lenses with electronic focus or aperture control are not supported. Sony E-mount lenses with electronic focus or aperture control are not compatible with Wave: With no power input, the lens elements move on their own. Likewise, there is no autofocus.

Wave is intended for use with manual lenses that cover a S35 sensor. Faster lenses (with lower wide-open f-number or T-stop) are preferable for shooting at high frame rates, where more light is needed.

Because of its short flange focal distance, E-mount can be readily adapted to almost any other mount. Some good lens options for Wave are listed below with sample videos shot on Wave, if available.
