It's always well known that the 1650 kit lens is the bottleneck to the camera body. Whether A6000 or A6300. But it's also the most versatile one. Just depends on which side you are. Versatility vs quality/price. On 1650, I never really get tad sharp portrait shots as in normal condition would have to bump the I so up quite high already. All the details are gone ie. Eye lashes eye brow hairs etc. Then I got the 50f18. Not really a lens known for its sharpness but already put you miles ahead of the kit lens my complaint with the lens... If only the MFD is much shorter. Short like the 24F18z then it'll be real nice. Also the purple fringing is quite horrible if shot direct into the light ie. Shooting leaves with the Sun dead right on above

Noticed the problem with MFD too. But with 24MP can just crop it out later. Any portrait sample of the f1.8 50mm using a6000? I'm also aiming for that lens now.

I mean MFD for the 50F1.8.

The 1650 has decent MFD and can get closer up if you go between 29mm ~ 34mm. 50F18 MFD is more than that of 1650.

Gotttt but cannot share Coz all friends/family not so good to share.


Hmm... Maybe this shot of a random boy on the street. But there's some misfocus. Focus not on his eyes. Everything is moving

50mm F1.8 shot at 1/160s ISO 500 F1.8 on Sony A6000 AF-C (Out-of-camera JPEG)

Btw... Look at the purple fringing on the fan

Oh.. Nice.. Been looking to upgrade from the nex6 to the a6000.. This looks like the same quality as what I'd get from my nex6.. But its not super sharp eh... The sigma 30 2.8 seems sharper.

why not sigma 30mm f1.4 ?

Haha.. No money leh... Is there anywhere can test it in kl?

Hi Sifus anyone owned the new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Emount yet? I'm unsure of getting it or the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS. Anyone would like to commend on it??

Today I play with A6300...feel more heavy than A6000...But I think its better to get A7 series better.

Got poison by RX100 IV too

for those looking for Sony FE 28mm F2 & Sony FE 55 f1.8

Nice. Where is this promotion from? Any promo on 1635z?

tempting !!!

Shucks..... don't have the one I want....

Sifus, any advice to bring a6000+kitlens up to Mt KK?

Make sure you have cover if raining/mist.
Light tripod is good to have if you plan to take astro shot, because hiking gear ad quite heavy, unless you hire porter to help you carry your stuff.

its can tahan the freezing temperature?

no light tripod...and Oct seem cant get milky way shot anymore...

Any possibility to take tripod along with carry-on baggage for flights?

Normally at Laban Rata, temperate around 5~16 degree Celsius.
At Low's Peak(highest peak) around -1~6 degree Celsius.

Last time i was using Canon DSLR(entry level) up at the peak, still working.

Been doing that for a few times already, no issues at all.

Internal condensation is more a problem under those circumstances... and also battery life (though normal low temps don't really effect the battery as much as real sub-zero temps).

Brought my A6000 up ski resorts in the middle of a Hokkaido winter asso no real problems really. So yeah, it can tahan for sure.

As for light tripods, check out the Tamrac Zipshot (or similar clones) for the lightest of them all. Yeah it's not really a "proper" tripod but for mirrorless it's more than enough really (unless you're shooting in windy situations... in which case you might need to tie it to some weights or something).
