Can I use the Sony FE lenses on my a6000? If yes, will all the auto features (focus, exposure) still work? 

 

Thank you. Jm

Hello JohnMichael,

Take a look here: FE lenses on a6000? .

Yes, all FE lenses are 100% compatible with all E-mount crop-sensored cameras.

A good choice if you think you'll get a full frame camera some time in the future.

I have the ziess 35,55 and the 70-200g for my a7m2 and use them on my a6000....brilliant.

the 55 is an amazing portrait lens on the A6K and offers an 82.5mm f/1.8.  Killer for portraits!!!  when I shoot weddings, I use the 19/60 Art glass when there is light, and for the receptions, I switch to the 24/55 combo.  it's a great way to work!

Picking up a 55 1.8 hopefully today to use on my a6k until the a7rii arrives. can't wait to try it out, but wishing i hadn't just bought the cropped 50 1.8 a couple months back! :P

The 50mm 1.8 APS-C lens is still pretty good.

 

For the price it is hard to beat.

I have the 70-200mm Sony for the A6000 and A7RII ... wouldn't leave home without it ... street, wildlife, sports, portraits. At the wide end I use 17-40mm Canon L, and Sony 28mm.

Yeah, the 70-200 f4 is a killer combo with the A6000. Rented both for a zoo trip. Presently owns an A7MII which would not work well for zoo with this lens as there is not enough reach. Could use the crop mode but it reduces the file resolution to around 5-8mb only. Both lens and camera is on my wish list.

 

Some shots taken below.

Most people stare today mostly in their smartphones, or shop windows, hunting for SALE's, and they don't know, what interesting constructions are maybe above them especially at old historical buildings!

 

I am mentioning especially the final middle wedge-shaped "vault end-stone", at very old historical buildings!  This final stone carries and stabilizes mostly the entire vault construction, and are often in place, for hundreds of years!

 

I have shot this series of vault end-stones in various very old churches beginning from the 13. century, and like to show you a few of these very old interesting statically genius construction!

 

All images are shot with the A6000 and the Sony G FE 70-200mm OSS (APS-C 105-300mm) at 300mm!

Dear friends, I am have doubts between two lenses: the 16-70mm f/4 Zeiss E mount and 24-70 f/4 FE mount for Sony a6000, I read that the center of this both lenses is very sharp, but in the corners they have poor sharpness, if I take a 24-70 on my a6000 could I get better corners ? I will be very happy to any link for test or samples for this combination. Thanks an advice.

I'd go for the 16-70 just on the difference in angle, 24 is equivalent to 34mm on the A6000, which is not very wide.

 

I used to have took 24-70 FE and it was fine on the A7S. The reviews of both are mixed, but a friend has the 16-70 on A6000 and it looks good from their pictures.

It's not a good idea, it basically defeats the purpose of a light weight, small camera. They add weight and size

I believe in using crop lens on crop sensors. They are designed specifically for each other.

I have Rokinon wide angles, 12mm, and 21mm on my a6000. They seem to spread out crop sensors nicely. 

To use the FF's to full advantage you have to buy an adapter that costs as much as some lens

I use the FE 2.8 / 90 mm G OSS Macro often at the A6000 / A6300. The combination yields a wonderful 135er with macro function!

 

I tend generally to buy only FE lenses.
