Lens options!!??!!??

[the_eighth_one]

I am new to this forum and to the Sony a6000! I have kit lenses for it now, they do an okay job but..... was curious if there are other options! (Kinda on a budget too)

 

I have a question about a good lens to use to shoot indoor sports! Usually very fast paced sports like basket ball and indoor soccer.

 

Thank

50mm 1.8 is $250 and it's a great lens, fast but the only problem is its a 50mm prime so it's 75mm with the a6000 so kinda hard if u doing sport.

55-210mm is a better option for sport at $350

But if u really can spend a little more then go with the 15-105mm f4 which is $600, the perfect overall lens for a6000

If you're proficient using manual focus & peaking you could try using any 135/2.8 legacy glass (200mm equivalent on full frame when used on your A6000). They can usually be bought for around 20/30€ plus the price of the adapter (maybe other 10€), and tend to be very sharp even at full aperture.

 

If you're on a tight budget, considering how good the high iso are now, you can go as well for a 135/3.5. You'll lose just half a stop, they are generally sharp from the get go (I can personally vouch for the Olympus OM and the Minolta MD last version 135/3.5) and these can be had for 5/7€ plus the adapter.

Thank you I will look into those options!
