“This appears to be the same lens as what is offered in the package deal but for $50.00more in the package. What am I not seeing? will this work straight out of the box on the A6500?”

As far as I know, the Sony a6500 is a crop sensor camera. Search google for more information on sensor size. The "fe" in the name "Sony 50mm fe 1.8" means "Full frame e-mount". To answer the question, yes this is the same lens as the bundle, however I'm not sure why they're selling them together. This will magnify the mm from 50 to somewhere around 75-78mm. The reason: any time you put a full frame lens on a cropped sensor camera, it will increase the magnification by 1.7. The lens is amazing, I own it myself. However if I were you I would suggest buying the body for the camera only and purchasing a regular Sony E-mount lens seperately. Make sure it doesn't say FE. I used to have the a6000 and used it with a full frame lens, it will work, but it's not ideal. My favorite Lens on a Sony crop sensor is the Sony 35mm 1.8 APS-C. Two things to look into: what is the difference between Sony e-mount and sony fe-mount.m, and what is full-frame vs APS-C sensors. Both should pop up quickly in a google search or youtube search. Hope this helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Lynn, this is a Sony 50mm full frame E-mount lens. It's compatible with the Sony a6500 camera. -Anthony
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your lens you have in your bundle has stabilization. And is made for crop sensors. This one is made for full frame sensors.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yup works straight out of the box on the 6500. no clue what you mean by package deal. Maybe there some other extras in the package.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will work phenomenally with the a6500, but it is a full frame lens which means it will not be a true 50mm, but more like an 80mm.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
