Reviewer Jordan Steele (one of the most highly competent photographers among Web reviewers, by the way) said of the A6000, 'The a6000 is one of the few Sony cameras I have taken an immediate liking to, and I thoroughly enjoy shooting with this little wonder. That 60mm just looks great.Īdmiring Light has a nice photo of a Sony-Sigma combo. I can't speak to the wider ones, but the 60mm was a special lens, with some of the smoothest, prettiest bokeh you'll see. If I were getting one of these I'd pair it with two of the (also very inexpensive) Sigma DN lenses-for sure the 60mm (90mm-e) ƒ/2.8 DN, which I owned, and either the 19mm (28mm-e) or the 30mm (45mm-e). Handy, friendly, high-performance compact camera. I still have a lot of affection for these Sonys-I used the NEX-6 for quite a while (well, in digi-years) and it became my buddy. It was the successor to the NEX-7, at one time a highly coveted camera itself, and the flagship of Sony's APS-C compacts.

It seems like only eight seconds ago that the Sony A6000 was the latest-greatest thing-actually it was announced, according to dpreview, on February 12th of 2014, not even two years ago.
