Opticallimits

Just got Sony A6000 plus 16-50, mirrorless is a nice thing, however i am disappointed by the lens.

16-50 is really the worst lens I have used.

My solutions are either adopting my Canon lenses to Sony or getting Sony native lenses.

All I need is good optics with reasonable speed in the 50-100mm range

So what would be better??? A adapter, which one ?

Sony 50mmf1.8

Sony 55-210 seems too slow and I expect quality in the same league as 16-50

My other solution would be dropping the whole Sony APS-C and getting EOS M

Forget the Sony NEX and go for the Canon EOS-M. The NEX line suffers from crappy lenses.

Plus, you'll be able to adapt your Canon lenses.

You can adapt the Canon lenses to Sony as well. Just sayin'.   Besides, the Canon M lens lineup is one of the biggest jokes in the industry, although there are a couple interesting primes.

 

To the OP: come on, just read the reviews here in PZ/OL, Klaus has had put his effort into reviewing most of the extant lenses (except maybe the 20 and 24mm primes, and the 18-135 is still too new).

The 18-135mm seems to be decent if we can believe Sony at least ...

 

But yes, MFT or Fuji would have been a better choice in the sub-FF segment really.

I think my Sony will be Valentine's gift for my wife.

The deal was too good: A6000 plus Sony camera bag Plus extra battery plus 2SD cards for 300$. The good point is she accepted it instead of jewelry.

Good job!

 

I've been giving photography gear as presents for ages. Half a dozen cameras must've passed through my hands this way.
