The E-mount lenses that are designed to be used on compact system cameras are not compatible with Sony A-mount camera models such as the A99 (full-frame) or A77 II (APS-C format). There are adaptors, however, that allow you to use Sony A-mount lenses on E-mount cameras they cannot be attached directly.
What happens if I use an APS-C lens on full-frame?
If you put an APS-C lens on a full-frame body, it either won't work, or will only take a photo using a very small portion of the sensor. If the imaging circle is larger than the camera sensor, the sensor will generally only capture the middle area of the lens's field of view—hence the crop factor.
Can I use an APS-C lens on full-frame Sony?
Nikon and Sony both allow their full-frame and APS-C lenses to be used interchangeably with their full-frame and APS-C format cameras. This means you can mount your Sony or Nikon crop lenses onto Sony or Nikon full-frame bodies. The cameras then offer a 'crop' mode you can enable when using APS-C lenses.
Which cameras use E-mount?
