Amazon Prime Day often serves up better discounts on camera lenses than the manufacturers themselves – and that's certainly proven to be the case this year for owners of Sony mirrorless cameras.

While the Prime Day deals have served up a few middling discounts on Sony mirrorless cameras like the Sony A7 II, they've been far more generous with lens deals. In fact, you can get up to 37% off no less than 19 Sony lenses today, whether you own a full-frame or APS-C camera.

The standout offers in the US are mainly on full-frame cameras, including a record-equalling low price for the Sony 24-70mm f/4 zoom lens (a great upgrade on most kit lenses) and a 22% price cut on the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS zoom. That lens is a brilliant all-rounder for virtually any type of photography, from landscapes to portraits and travel snapping.

Over in the UK, the biggest discounts have been reserved for the Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 (which gets that headline 37% saving) and, for owners of Sony APS-C cameras, the Sony E 10-18mm f/4.0. There's also a brilliant deal on the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN, which we just had to include too.

We've picked out all of our favorite Prime Day lens deals for Sony fans below, so you can pick out the best options for you and get a photographic springboard into the second half of the year.
