I bought this a couple weeks ago with my new a6000. It works out of the box and does not require an adapter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The SEL50F18 costs $50 more than the SEL50F18F, but offers many very important advantages. Buy the SEL50F18, unless you are absolutely certain that you understand the difference between it and the SEL50F18F. There are three critical elements to consider in choosing between these two lenses (SEL50F18 and SEL50F18F) for an APSC camera like a Sony 6000, 6300, or 6500. Full frame cameras and lenses are based upon a 35 mm image size, and most of the better ones have image stabilization built into the camera. The Sony 6000, 6300, and 6500 are APSC cameras and use a smaller image size. Only the 6500 has image stabilization. 1) The SEL50F18 has image stabilization, the SEL50F18F does not. Without image stabilization, you might need a tripod to get a good, clear, distinct final image / product. A full frame lens "overwhelms" an APSC camera, and changes both the field of view and the aperture. To calculate the actual lens performance, you have to multiply by 1.5 for Sony and Nikon cameras (1.7 for Canons). 2) The SEL50F18 mounted on an APSC Sony or Nikon is a 50 mm lens. The SEL50F18F performs like a 75 mm lens on that camera. Basically, it will become more of a zoom lens than a portrait lens for that application. 3) The SEL50F18 mounted on an APSC Sony or Nikon is an F1.8 lens. The SEL50F18F performs like an F2.7 lens on that camera. Basically, you will need more available light for that application. With the SEL50F18 mounted on an APSC Sony or Nikon, what you see is what you get. The image captured by the camera will be the same as any other camera with a true 50F1.8 lens. With the SEL50F18F mounted on an APSC Sony or Nikon, you will have to make the appropriate adjustments in aperture ("F stop"), physical distance, and ambient light to try to capture the same image.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just purchased this lens. It fits the A6000, A6300 and A6500. Since they are crop sensor bodies, the lens will be more like a 70mm lens than a 50mm. But the connections and performance are the same as the A7, A7S, and A7R series cameras, no adapter needed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is. You do not need an adapter because this is an E mount lens.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can use this lens with Sony a6000
