  • QuestionDoes this lens work with an a6000

    Asked by Kp.

    • Answer Yes it will work but does not have built-in image stabilization and it will be closer to 127.5mm not 85mm. APS-C(a6000) will multiply a full frame lens by roughly 1.5 so if you are for 85mm equivalent try a 50mm full frame lens.

  • QuestionDoes it work for sports shots like Volleyball?

    Asked by Teetee229.

    • Answer It should be great for indoor volleyball ball as long as you have the space to get the correct distance away from the players. Remember this is a fixed prime lens...no zoom so you need to use your feet to frame the players. Great bright lens so you can definitely get some nice action shots. I’m using it for indoor gymnastics shots and video and is working great.

  • QuestionHow will this work on a i73 for fast moving indoor sports?

    Asked by YL.

    • Answer I've been using for indoor basketball for 3 years and created some highlight videos from mid court. The depth of field, speed and sharpness is second to none due to the 1.8 aperture as long as you are zero'd in on 1 person. The double edged sword is that if you need to get a wider scene in focus, the set 1.8 aperture will bokeh anything outside your target. Also the 85MM is perfect for covering 60% of the court but if you're looking to stand on the far end and take shots across the court it will be difficult - Better off with the 70-200 2.8 if you need that reach. I just switch sides of the court and cover the offensive action mostly and the images are perfection.
