Wow bro u even sold your m9 for it...

Anyway which lens are you using with it? Considering switching over to mirrorless as well, but fuji's a little too pricey, will be going with a6000

If you want "better " first party prime lenses, slightly cleaner high ISO performance, and slightly better OOC JPEGs - the Fuji has an edge there.

Unfortunately, AF on the Fuji (even the E2) is slower, video is totally crap, the body and whole system is a whole lot more expensive AND the the entire X system is considerably less compact.

As for good A6000 lenses, if you want the very best and want things slightly wide, the 1.8/24z. If you want things really, really sharp, the Zeiss Touit 1.8/32 is prolly the sharpest you can get.

For other lenses, the Wirecutter has a great article on selecting lenses for the E mount: http://bit.ly/Y3dRcy

sifus, any tips on choosing a good tripod ?
height about photographer's height, shud be rather heavy to prevent shake ( about how heavy? for a6000 )

anybody tried these https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3332150 ?

i wonder any EMount adapter to use Canon lenses with AF...

the karma of kiasu

the pz 16-50 at 16mm vignet is quite serious, even noticeable on camera lcd, is it A5100 or common problem with 16-50?

Metabones? But I heard negative comments on AF speed, while OIS works great as well as IQ.

Yes, I was just about to say that. It looks very "Leica".

btw, do you think putting the rather cheap prime Sony E 50 F1.8 OSS on the A6000 can see noticeably sharper and better IQ than the kit 16-50? Please advice. Thanks!

Yaa... that what i read....

I wanna inherit some1's Canon 50 f1.4 ..... foc so why not?

thanks btw

Any of the Sony primes are better than the kit. And the "rather cheap" 50mm is actually one of the best in the lineup lol, at least when It comes to sharpness. Bokeh even more so.

Question is, is 50mm (75 mm on crop) a usable focal length for you?

As for the Metabones EOS AF adapter, apparently it works. But AF is VERY VERY slow. However, it's already V2 or V3 now and the A6000 AF is considerably faster than any Nex before it - so who knows if it's already a bit more usable now.

For critical applications like sports or catching the kids maybe not though, but for less demanding applications maybe.

I hve its similar siblings.. and using the same ball head. Got it during Raya promotion. great product. It could support my +2kg, 400mm lens with no issues..

You can total strip the legs for clean up if you decide to take it to sandy places.. it is an important issue to me because I use it at the seaside all the time an salt /sand corrosion is an issue.

Lol guess what, im using my 30mm f3.5 macro as my walkaround allabout lens now.. lol..


Fuji is superior in ISO and Lens performance too.. but superior in price too... once i had XE1+35mm f1.4+18mm f2 ( at that time no other fuji lens available ) + gariz half case and thumb up grip.. very frustrated with AF. Whats more that M9 that full time manual and slow to play back pictures. Lotsa PP for that DNG Leica files to get the look..

So i guess my style of shooting is gun and run.. and stealthy.. lol. Never gonna miss that decisive moments anymore.

Different people different style of shooting..

I cant comment on this but rule of thumb says prime always sharper than zoom lens..

treat it as a lesson, bro

anyway, SELP1650 have serious vignetting at wide end, especially with aperture F3.5. smaller aperture would slightly fixed the matter

Still thinking which kit to go with, either 10-18/samyang 12, then the rest i think maybe the 20 pancake and 35 prime, limited budget have to plan properly,lol. else just get kit lens and play around with it 1st


not to mention its less hassle to shoot with prime too, at least for me la.

nice color, indeed

just bought the camera. really amazing

wow... sold ur expensive leica m9 for sony a6000? shocked

Yes, why not

Leica will get all the spotlight and fame.

But the a6000 will get me the picture.


Yes you heard that the first time from me

it will recorded in the history - a man who changed his entire leica system to sony system

fixed

Haha please dont. And im not assosiated anyway with Sony.
And I hated sony systems before this, before the a6000. And still hated the others besides a6000 and the a7s
Thanks for fixing. LoL
