What does this bag cover, and what does it weigh?
Pick a body and the lenses that fit its mount. Every focal length below is converted to its full-frame equivalent on that body, so a 50 mm reads as what it actually frames — which is the arithmetic sensor size explained says almost everyone gets half right.

How the numbers are worked out
- The mount decides everything first. Only lenses made for this body's mount appear, because no amount of wanting makes an RF lens fit a Z body. That is the argument lenses before bodies makes: the mount is the decision you live with longest.
- Every focal length is converted. Multiply by the crop factor and you get the full-frame equivalent — the only way to compare a Micro Four Thirds 25 mm with an APS-C 33 mm and a full-frame 50 mm, which all frame the same picture.
- An APS-C lens on a full-frame body crops it. The lens cannot fill the bigger frame, so the camera uses the middle of the sensor and the megapixels drop with it. Flagged above, because the shop rarely mentions it.
- Gaps are real; overlaps usually are not. A hole between 70 and 200 mm is a picture you cannot take. Two lenses covering the same range is normal — one of them is there for its aperture or its weight.
Prices are the catalogue's indicative EU street prices, body and lenses bought separately; a kit bundle is usually cheaper. Weights are body-with-battery plus each lens, and exclude the cards, the spare battery and the bag that how much to spend insists on budgeting for.
14 bodies are not in the picker: the fixed-lens compacts, which are already a finished kit, and the medium-format and K-mount bodies, for which this catalogue carries no lenses.
