What good lenses do you recommend for Sony α5100 and α6000 respectively?

Hello, thank you for your trust.

1. There are two main differences between the A6000 and the A5100. First, the A6000 can view at eye level, while the A51000 can touch focus and one-handed electric zoom;

2. If the poster compares Paying attention to the one-handed electric zoom of the A5100, then the electric lens is more important. Sony electric heads currently include Sony EPZ 16-50 and EPZ 18-105. In addition to the poor image quality, Sony's electric head has two advantages and one disadvantage. The first advantage is that the zoom is more stable and better than manual zoom when shooting video, and the picture is relatively less likely to shake. The second is that it can play the role of the A5100's electric zoom key. The disadvantage is that the zoom speed is not as fast as manual zoom;

3. According to general principles, the lenses used for shooting different subjects will be different. Generally speaking, zoom lenses are more convenient to use, and fixed-focus lenses have better image quality and imaging effects. I make the following recommendations based on different needs. You can choose according to your own needs and budget. (Because A5100 and A6000 are both half-frame sensors, the lens focal length parameters must be multiplied by a factor of 1.5):

a. Hang up the camera head. The camera-mounted lens is the lens that is used most frequently and is usually screwed onto the camera body unless there are special circumstances. We recommend the Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS lens. The focal length equivalent to 24-105 covers the widest range of shooting subjects. It is usually used for hanging up. It is sufficient for general landscapes, architecture, and travel themes. Cope with;

b. Standard fixed-focus lens. The fixed-focus lens has good image quality and a large aperture, and produces the best film results. Professional photographers generally use fixed focus lenses and match them with the required focal lengths. But this is not necessary for general household use (except for enthusiasts and rich people). The characteristic of standard fixed-focus lenses is that the viewing angle is equivalent to the viewing angle of a human eye. The film is very visually impactful and has the widest range of use. The first choice is the FE35F1.4 lens, which is of good quality but relatively expensive; the second choice is the Carl Zeiss E-mount Touit 32mm f/1.8 lens; the third choice is the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN lens with the Sigma E mount, which is very cost-effective. High; the fourth option is the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS lens, which is cheap. Sony EF35F2.8 is not recommended. As a standard lens used on half-frame, the aperture is only 2.8, which is not suitable;

c. Outdoor portrait lens. It is mainly used for shooting full-body portraits. The standard lens is not very good at shooting outdoor full-body portraits. Outdoor portraits are generally equivalent to an 85mm lens. The first choice is the Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA lens. This lens is very good in all aspects and can be called perfect; the second choice is the latest Sony FE 50mm F1.8 lens;

d. Humanities lens , the humanities focal length is generally equivalent to 35mm, and is usually used for humanistic shooting themes such as street sweeping. It can further take portraits, and step back to take small landscapes. It is called a classic focal length and is used more frequently (because half-frame cameras need to be multiplied by the focal length coefficient , not as clear-cut as the full-frame focal length, and there may be a slight overlap between the humanistic perspective and the standard perspective). The first choice is the Carl Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2.0 lens; the second choice is the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm f/1.8 ZA lens; the third choice is the Sony FE28F2.0 lens;

d. Super wide-angle lens, in When shooting large-scale scenery or broad building themes, you need to use a super-light ultra-wide-angle lens. The Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS lens is recommended;

f. Macro lens, generally used for shooting flowers, For ecological themes (such as insects, etc.), the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS lens is recommended;

g. For telephoto lenses, the only Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens is available.

3. Due to different themes, the lenses used will also be different. If the poster does not pay much attention to wide angle and just wants a better lens, the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens is recommended. Compare expensive.

4. If there are no special shooting needs, generally a zoom head and a fixed-focus standard lens will suffice. If you have special needs, add them slowly. It is recommended that the author use the E 16-70mm f/4 lens for the zoom lens. For standard fixed-focus lenses, the more affordable Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN lens for the Sigma E mount can be used;
