What are you favorite/goto prime lenses for the Sony a6000/a6300/a6500?

[shang-hsien_yang]

Wow, the BOKEH of the 16mm f/1.4 is amazing!

[dxtracbs]

Thank you for still making videos about/for Sony A6000 despite the availability of so many new high-end Sony Mirrorless cameras in the market e.i A7iii, A9, A7rii... I have a Sony A6000 right now (i got thru installment), although I only have the kitlens, watching your videos about lenses that are good for A6000 made me happy - knowing that the capability of this camera can be extended. Right now I can't afford any of the lenses you mentioned, it will probably take me half a year to save money to just buy one prime lens. I just hope my photos that I submitted in stock sites will sell so I can buy either the Sigma 30 f1.4 or the 50 f1.8 Oss.

i’ve been using the a6000 for about three years. The first thing Idid was sell the kit 16-50. I just couldn’t get sharp focus. I bought Sony’s 50/1.8 and love it but many of my shots are indoors and I’d have to knock out a wall to get back far enough. I wanted something wider. The Sony 28/f2.0 was almost the same price as Sigma and far smaller/lighter. I always do handheld so size does matter. My best do it all lense is the 18-105 f 4 OSS. that’s wonderful for shots with good lighting and video outdoors. Your videos are my favorite.

The sigma 16mm f1.4 is my all-time favourite lens. Such a blast to shoot with.

[ScoutBobrman]

Yep! A6000 an unstoppable WORK HORSE!! Always take my A6000 during my travels trucking through the western States! Great videos as always! Thanks!!

The budget option is the Sigma Art Trinity: 19mm, 30mm and 60mm f2.8. Had the second, it was really great for the price and the IQ wasn’t bad either.

I settled on the Sony 35 1.8 due it's size. I think that is overlooked by many reviewers. I got the compact Sony APC because I wanted a compact system the I can travel with, drop in a bag, etc. Putting a larger lens on it, makes little sens to me. The Sony is good low light, clear, has OSS, and very small, so win win. That and the 18-135 rounds out my needs and that's what I use 95% of the time.

Just missing the 16mm Sigma f1.4 from my kit which I plan on getting when there's another sale. Shot with the A6000 and A6500 for a while with the Sigma 30mm f1.4 and Sony 85mm F1.8 and they're all workable. I've stopped using the Sony 50mm 1.8 OSS as I found with my style the 30mm apsc works for 90% of my work.

Miss your videos and I did learn a lot from you back in the day. I have recently started looking at my a6000 and a6500 cameras again after abandoning them for full frame ( a7iii and a7c). I shall try out this lens trio as it seems like a nice lightweight kit and I already own them! Hope you are doing well.

[ales_krejci]

16-50 used mostly at 16mm plus for video, sigma 30 f1, 4 for 90% of everyday shooting and 50 f1, 8 for potraits.

[KarloDeCastro]

Currently have the 35mm 1.8 and I sometimes borrow the 85mm FE from a friend. I plan to buy the Sigma 16mm soon.

[joshblck]

Hey man, love your videos, just wanted to add something. I hear a lot of youtubers refer to “upgrading” to a full frame. A full frame is not necessarily an upgrade. Yes specs wise it’s an upgrade but a lot of people actually prefer apsc cameras. I know a lot of professionals who use m43 cameras even. Just saying but keep up the awesome videos!

[joel_g]

I’ve got the sigma 16 1.4 and the Sony 35 1.8. I honestly can’t choose which I like best. They’re both amazing for their own strengths.

[pquirke]

I love this video, I have the 16 and 30. What I love also is the preset you are using, it looks like a fuji chrome style. What are you actually using, especially when you are demonstrating the 16mm lens?

[Luis-dzvb]

Thank you for the video.
Do you have a video for lenses that are compatible with full frame. I currently have an A6000 but will eventually like to upgrade to full frame.
Thanks again for your time

[wellinspired]

I think this sealed the deal for me getting the sigma 16mm f1.4. thanks!! I just got my a6000 after having the canon t2i for a couple years now. I have 2 sigma lenses for canon and im about to get the sigma mc 11 adapter so i can usee em for my sony a6000

[yashikak]

Hey no doubt, these r the 3 lens use for videos.. Mind blowing quality and out put, I don't think there is anything better then these lens.. Your r 100% right..

[Nilly-tube]

Damn that Sigma 16mm and Sony 85mm are both definitely on my wishlist now! I just got an a6000 a couple of months ago with the 55-210 kit lens. Wound up getting the Sony 30mm macro (which I love) and the 16-50 kit lens real cheap. I like the idea of testing out the 2 zoom kit lenses to figure out where I like to shoot. That being said, I did back the Kalman 28mm along with the 50mm. The price for both was too great to pass up.
