I have an a6000, Does this lens work with the autofocus features of the A6000 or do I have to manually focus?

I got this lens for my D600. It's fun. With the D600, the camera has to be set completely manual and it won't take a pic unless the lens aperture is set at f/22. The focus ring seems to do very little unless the object is super close, everything else seems to be ok but nothing is spot on in focus. IMHO, if you're looking for something fun to play with it's an ok lens. Hope this helps.

Yes, this lens does have the option for auto focusing. But I clearly find that manual focusing is the better of the two choices. Unlike some lens, this option to change from manual to auto focusing is done by sliding the forward most ring, the one closest to the len's end back and forth. No switch. There is no automatic zoom option. You have to rotate the ring closest to the camera body to zoom in and out. I guess that is why I prefer the manual focusing. But either way, I am very happy with the photos I have taken with this lens. Hope this helps

Sorry, no. There is no mechanism for auto focus on this lens (difficult for this type of usage anyhow).

No it does not. You will need to set your camera to Aperture priority and then set the f/stop on the lens. Nor will it autofocus a lens. This is best used if you have an older fixed f/stop lens or are using a older macro lens.

The lens should work fine, but it will not autofocus on the D60. Only AF-S lenses autofocus on the lower end Nikon dslr's (D40/D40x/D60).

Hi Cameron, using your Sony SAL70400 to your Sony a6000 will require you to use an adapter (LAEA4). As for the features like auto focus and focus point, all of this will retain and will be utilize even when using this adapter. For further info, please check on the link below. Hope this helps. -Elyhttps://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/37304/c/65%2C66/kw/LAEA4/session/L3RpbWUvMTQyNjg1ODM4Ni9zaWQvVmx4QnlOaG0%3D

This lens works fully auto with both my Nikon d5000 and d600. It will definitely work on manual focus with your body. Can't tell you for sure as far as auto

Cheryl - some time ago I bought a "slightly used" lens from an Amazon vendor. It would not autofocus in live mode on my Nikon D5100. For some time I thought this was a problem between the camera and lens, but I finally consulted Tamron and they said it would need expensive repair. Amazon was gracious let me return the lens. In manual focus it took wonderful shots - but I have no way of knowing if you are talking about this same particular lens.

Yes. I've been using it on my a6000 for a few months, and I'm very happy with the resultant image quality. I also recommend the 60mm.

Assuming you mean could a Nikon or Canon LENS be used with the Sony a6000, the answer is YES, providing you purchase the correct adapter. This is one of the many reasons that make this camera so great to have. On some adapters, you lose autofocus. On other adapters, you can have autofocus, but lose the hi-speed autofocus this camera is so well known for. From what I know, NO QUALITY of the lens itself is lost. The better piece of glass you put on the adapter, the better the quality of the picture. Do not expect to put a cheap lens on this camera and come out with a superior photo. That said, because this is a crop frame camera, you can manage good photos with cheaper lenses because you are using, in essence the center of the lens and not the outer fringes where a lot of softening sometimes takes place. I have a Sigma 60mm DA art lens for portraits (no adapter needed) and the lens is so sharp you almost cut your self on it. In some cases, cheaper, softer lenses would be better at times, especially when taking portraits, in my humble opinion.

I have these lens and I cannot use the autofocus, only manual. It won't focus no matter at what range. So disappointed..

Well, there are a few cons...the a6000 autofocus is insanely fast, this lens won't be able to keep up with it as you'd want too. You will also lose half to a full stop of light due to the translucent mirror from the adapter. The mirror is used to keep the autofocusing system working.Other than that, it's a pretty awesome combo. Looks awkward however.

Yes but autofocus will not work well above F5.6 although manual focus works well. I have this lens. Manual focus sort of defeats the purpose of this quick focusing lens.

its an "A" mount lens, so if the a6000 is an "A" mount lens camera then yes it will work with it.

AF lenses will not autofocus (only manual focus) on D40/D40x/D60 since these cameras don't have a built in drive motor. AF-S however will work.

It automatic mode the camera focuses fine. I haven't tried it in other modes yet, but if you have an autofocus lens I imagine it will focus for you fine.
