Sony Alpha 6000 Digital Camera

I recently purchased a David D. Busch Sony Alpha a6000/ILCE-6000 Guide to Digital Photography from B&H and am amazed how concise every detail about the camera and using it is covered. Being a novice in mirrorless cameras and photography as a whole I find this book very helpful and the service from B&H is first class.

I bought this camera for my wife who already owns a Sony NX5 and a Sony DSLR. The Alpha 6000 is now her go to camera for just about everything she photographs. All the features of a new DSLR camera but half the weight and size. Blazing fast focus never misses and works with all of her older E lenses and DSLR lenses with the Sony adapter. I elected to get her the gorgeous silver and black finish body that is reminiscent of neo-modern rangefinder camera in the mirrorless package and the fit and finish is excellent. Unlike the Nex 5 the Alpha 6000 incorporates an electronic viewfinder into it's light and compact body that is bright and sharp and a welcome addition over the older Nex 5. Current pricing of the Alpha 6000 is very good for such a feature laden camera and although the newer Alpha 6300 and 6500 may have additional features in more robust packaging you would be hard pressed to find the same value for money! As expected B&H service was excellent and delivery was faster than I anticipated, even with the need to clear customs into Canada.

My Sony Alpha 6000 camera works perfectly with this adapter. I've been using it for several weeks with no problem.

Compact light weight charger for sony alpha 6000. Would recommend.

I use it to wrap my Sony Alpha 6000 and carry it like a bag. It's a well made product, it really protects anything you put inside.

I like my Sony alpha 6000 for its portability but found it inconvenient that there was no overlap between the two lenses, so I purchased this one. Just what I needed. It's a lightweight lens so the portability wasn't affected. I also bought a filter kit that includes polarizer, UV, and ND filters, thus far have only used the polarizer; glad I got it.

I use this lens with a Sony alpha 6000. The Lens is incredibly sharp, with little to no barrel distortion or chromatic aberrations. It is a prime lens, and it does not connect electronically to the camera -- this means manual focus only and no EXIF information stored on the shots as to the lens and aperture used. If this is OK with you (it is with me), then this is a great lens. I now use only Rokinon / Samyang prime lenses in addition to the 55-210mm Sony zoom lens for wildlife shots with the a6000. Some people have noted that there should be a distance scale to help with estimating the deapth of field, but after having had the lens for a while you will develop a good intuition for this anyway. One thing that could be an issue some months / heavy usage down the line: f numbers and focusing distances are painted not etched into the lens, so they could wear off after a while I guess.

I like this little inexpensive lens. I was looking for a single lens to mount on my Sony Alpha a-6000 for casual, all purpose photography when I don't want to carry my whole camera bag. I wanted a fast lens for low light. My expectations were not extremely high. As others mentioned, wide open it's fairly soft, but close it down a bit and it produces very acceptable results. The feel is nice and tight on the focus and aperture rings, but not too tight. The retro look is a nice bonus.

This is the easiest plug and play video grabber ever. I use it with my Sony alpha 6000 and also with my iPhone 11 Pro. Works with zoom video and on my 2014 MacBook Pro. Audio syncs perfectly.

I bought this adaptor to make my Sony Alpha 6000 a little more interesting. It is a little tricky to attach this to FD lenses, but once you get the hang of it the results are superb. I am using a 50mm f1.4 and a 15mm fisheye with the adaptor. The fisheye has a even exposure to the edges, something that surprised me. The 50mm is effectively working at f 1.0. I have no trouble focusing rapidly with focus peaking and the viewfinder is astounding to look through at night. I can see better through the camera than without it. Working shutter speeds and tack sharp images make this one of my favorite purchases to date. I also bought the Nikon F-mount version and am impresses with the optical properties of both adaptors.
