So I have a the Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens which I'm really enjoying on my A6000. I am finding I could do with a bit more telephoto so was thinking of adding a something between 50mm and 90mm. My initial thoughts are between the Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS and the Sigma 60mm f2.8 art. I like that the Sony 50mm has OSS, but wish it was 60mm or 80mm as it may not feel so long compared to my 30mm sigma. The Sigma 60mm has the downside of f2.8 and may feel a slight downwards move from my 30mm f1.4.

 

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

I like the photo of your dog greeting the cows. Apart from that you ignored the advice given in your last thread, so I'll save myself the time.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I must apologise as I seem to have missed all the replies on the other thread, at the time I was trawling the internet and seem to lost/missed that post. I can assure you the replies were all appreciated now that I have just read them. Though obviously I've missed the advice and gone ahead with the Sigma.

I just bought the FE 85mm f1.8, which has incredible reviews and still some kind of affordable price tag... willing it arrives home soon.

 

Have you consider that option? It's more expensive than the ones you mention, so if there are budget constrains, then maybe it's not the lens for you...

Very nice, I'll look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

2.8 is not a "downward move" cuz the FL is longer. 

   

I'll spare you the math ... 

 

I managed to win a 60mm f2.8 on ebay for a really good price, and I'm so glad I did. Very happy with the results, and the focal length.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
