This is of course Sony's "nifty 50", which should be a standard in all camera bags. Excellent in low light due to the wide aperture. Fast focusing. Great price

This is perfect for a6000 and a6300. A must have lens after you have the 50mm. The quality is amazing and this is going to be a game-changer for my photography.

This is possibly my favorite lens I have for my a6000. It's incredibly sharp and shot wide open lets tons of light in with good bokeh effects and swirly depth of field.

This is the lens to have if you are interested in taking portraits. It does not have a zoom as it is a set lens, but the quality is worth the lack of a zoom.

Image has excellent sharpness and the image stabilization works well. A great lens for blogging and shooting podcasts. However sometimes I wish I had a little wider lens as things are fairly close up for my use.
