Q: QuestionDoes this lens work with an a6000

Asked 4 years ago by Kp.

• A: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.

Q: QuestionDoes it work for sports shots like Volleyball?

Asked 5 years ago by Teetee229.

• A: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.
