there can be only three

Just to be clarified, that close focus adapter does not act like a speedbooster right, so you still get the crop factor when using those lens on your A6000?

That is correct. It is not a speed booster just an M to E mount adaptor with a helicoid built in. The 40mm has no focusing element so it requires an adaptor with a helicoid etc.
So the crop factor equivalences for the 3 would be:


22.5 / 60 / 112.5


... on the a6000 but, I really don't think about crop factor much at all.


Maybe if I add a full frame body to my kit the differences will gain more meaning to me.

The adaptor does allow for a much closer minimum focusing distance as an option though.

On the 15mmm I think it drops from ~1 meter to like ~10 inches but, I can't find the little chart which shows the differences for the CV line of M mount lenses.

Either way it allows for an entirely different shooting experience using the same glass and makes the idea of investing in the E mount CV lenses an interesting debate for me

back in the day I used a leica with a 35mm, 50mm & 90mm lenses.

I realy enjoyed that kit. it seemed to do anything i needed

right now I have the NEX-7 wirh a zeiss touit 32mm and a sigma 60mm. I am looking to get the Sigma 19mm which to me would complete my three prime lens kit

so my question is what would be your three prime lens kit? - no zooms just three lenses of a fixed focal length

what would you pick to use on your APSc e-mount if you had to have a three prime lenses and nothing else?

I'd seriously consider this kit: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1236617-REG/zeiss_touit_12mm_f_2_8_32mm.html

You might think 12mm is a little wide, but better to have a view that is too wide than a view that isn't wide enough. A little cropping will fix the issue. I do wish the 50mm was a 60mm, but you could always get the 60mm Sigma f2.8 instead. That'd certainly save you some money. As an alternative, if you have the money, you could stick with the 50mm and you could consider getting a fourth, longer lens - the Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8.

I think the four Zeiss lenses would be a GREAT kit.

Also, the Sigma 30mm f1.4 would be a good alternative to the Zeiss 32mm. The Sigma weighs a little more and is a tiny bit longer, but it can let in more light with that f1.4 aperture. (The Zeiss only opens up to f1.8.) The Sigma focuses to a closer distance too. At $340 that's a deal, if the image quality is similar, and I think it probably is. The Zeiss costs more than twice that. I don't know about focus speed though. The Zeiss might be better. They both get 5 star reviews.

Hehe, the last lens I want is the Batis 85

This is quite easy:

Samyang 12mm f2

Sony/Zeiss 24mm f1.8

Sigma 60mm f2.8

It's almost my holiday set. My main camera is a D800, but because I don't like the bulk and the lens changing during holiday, I have this set:

Sony Nex 5 with Samyang 12mm f2

Fuji X100 (23mm f2)

Sony a5100 with Sigma 60mm f2.8

For the days where I plan on doing mainly landscape I just put the Samyang on the a5100 and the Sigma goes then for the whole day on the nex 5. I never switch lenses during the day. The difference between the nex 5 and the a5100 are big but not critical for holiday pictures.
