The best budget lenses for a6000

[PhotoFactor]

I have to agree with you. Native lenses make way more sense then trying to go broke with FF E-mount G lenses. Sony has to step up in the APS-C native mount. I don't/won't get into putting an adapter between the lens and my A6300. Not sure why Sony keeps releasing superb, high-tech bodies but not similarly crafted, cost-effected lenses. Crazy to have to cobble together a kit to get great glass.

They are following the exact same model as Canon and Nikon. Sony has more apsc lenses than Canon does.

I could not agree with your more. I have read so many threads explaining how many issues people have with adapters vs using native lenses, they make me laugh. Right now, I only own the a6300 with the two kit lenses and the Sigma 30mm f2.8 EX DN prime and they are working out for me very well for me.

When you learn how to use the lenses you have to their fullest extent, and within their 'Sweet Spots', experimenting with adapters and non native lenses is a futile adventure. Maybe it is something some people like to experiment and enjoy doing, which if fun for them and make them happy, more power to them. If it makes them happy, that is a good thing for them to do.

As for taking pictures that take all the advantages of the a6x00 cameras and sharing pictures on the Internet at 3-4 MP's or 10-12 MP's and printing at 8-10 or 11-14" size, native lenses work just fine. As long at those pictures are taken correctly in the 'Sweet Spots' of your lenses, you simply can't go wrong and will be very happy with the results.

So according to you, as long as I use 1/3 of my kit lens' zoom range, and 1/3 of it's aperture range, I'll get good photos. If I choose to go outside those boundaries I'm not using it correctly.

Never mind that other brand kit lenses have far less limited ranges of good results.

Sorry, if I'm going to use a zoom I don't want to be restricted to 1/3 of the range.

If we are sharing on the internet at 3-4 MPs and printing at 8x10 or 11x14 size, then my phone does pretty well, too. Sometimes I like to crop and have the photos stay sharp.
