Given this is a full frame lens, what compromise does it have pairing it with NEX6, which is not a full frame camera?

No compromise. The actual lens performance will likely be just as stellar. What you will experience is what is called "crop factor" essentially meaning the images from the lens will look more telephoto at equivalent focal lengths, also there will be less apparent depth of field at equivalent apertures. This is due to sensor size and you will experience the same thing on all lenses mounted to a smaller sensor. This is not necessarily bad, it's usually more preference. The lens itself will perform well if you know what to expect. Read through this: http://digital-photography-school.com/full-frame-sensor-vs-crop-sensor-which-is-right-for-you/ No compromise.

works great, and you have the full frame lense when you go to buy the A7R, consider the Sony E 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS as this lens is close in performance, smaller lighter,more zoom range! Most of all easy to carry. I find myself using this lense most of the time as the bulk of the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 kills the easy handling of the Nex body size. However I am having problems with the lense connection to camera blackout issue.photos --- http://www.laosgpsmap.com/ho-chi-minh-trail-laos/

Absolutely fine.. It pairs with both my NEX-6 and NEX-7 (as well as my A7R & A7, of course ;) ) without a hitch. OSS will works as well as all the other controls. However - keep in mind, with any APS-C Sony E-Mount body, it will become a 105-300mm lens, which you probably knew...

I would ask this question on www.stuckincustoms.com of Trey Ratcliff. He would be able to answer this.

On the NEX 6 this lens has a focal length equivalent to 105-300mm on a full frame camera such as the a7r. I don't have a NEX 6, but it works beautifully on an a6000.

Hi Carrie, Picture quality with the nex-5 is great- I think it might be the flash that's an issue. The Nex-5's flash is small and quite delicate. If you're doing a lot of interiors, you might look at the Nex-6, which I believe has a more traditional shoe for the flash. The nex-5 flash is finicky to attach (it works fine) and doesn't appear rugged enough for me to comfortably leave attached to the camera.

The adapter provides no electrical connection between the camera and the lens - the camera really thinks there's no lens attached! I have a Sony NEX-6, and I solved the problem (with help from another customer) by going to the camera's menu, selecting "Setup", then scrolling until I found "Release w/o Lens". Click on that option to enable it, and the camera will shoot. Of course, with the adapter there's no autofocus or aperture control - you have to do those on your own. But it works fine!

I have the original version on a NEX-7. I haven't noticed any purple fringing (chromatic aberration), nor have I gone looking for it. So no comments on that aspect. That aside, to answer your direct question, both the NEX-7 and the A6000 have APS-C size sensors, and E (not FE) lens mounts, so there should be no question that either the original version or the updated version will attach physically, and will have a large enough image circle to fully cover the sensor on either camera.

Hey A.M.M Arguello, I noticed in your initial post you mentioned you have the NEX-3 camera. I also noticed in your last post that you ordered the 55-210 mm zoom lense. Have you had a chance to use the 55-210 mm zoom lense with your NEX-3 yet? Have you had any problems? I only ask because on the sony website this lense does not list the NEX-3 as a compatible camera. However I think this has to do with the fact that the NEX-3 was technically a discontinued model when this lense was released. Any first hand experience you can provide would be much appreciated.

I believe all i had to do to get it to work was (on my nex6):-Enter the main menu screen-go to the 'setup' section-Scroll down to 'Release w/o Lens'-Set 'Release w/o Lens' to 'enable'Your camera will never recognise the lens as its a 3rd party-un-powered-manual lens so you have to enable the camera to operate like normal without a lens attached. If the shutter activates without a lens attached then you are good to go.Hope this helps. BB

Yes, it's a full frame Lens. I, personally, use IT with a d600. It works fine. As it's not an extensive Lens, this is a really gold choice for jour d610.Best regards,Antoine

This lens is designed and optimized for APS-C sized sensors. You will lose about 62% of your pixels using this lens on full frame. Do not purchase this lens for your 6D or any other Full Frame sensor-ed camera if you don't want to have to implement a heavy crop in post processing to get a usable image. If you are looking for a prime fisheye for full frame, Sigma has a 15mm f2.8, but will run you about double the cost of this Rokinon, however you do get auto focus, the ability to control aperture on the camera, and the Sigma is about 2/3 of a stop faster being f2.8 vs f3.5.

It should work, as both the A6000 (my camera) and the Nex 6 are E mount cameras and can used the same lenses.

Hi, since I use a D90 i'm no sure how it woks with a full frame camera. It works great with my D90, it is the best walk around lens I own for my camera. Sorry but I can't speak for a full frame camera.

I have a nex-6. It's manual focus. I've never calibrated it. You can do this for distortion correction but I just use Lightroom to lessen the distortion.

First, I have the NEX-7; an older generation of the A6000, but very similar being a 24mp camera. I love this Lens. I believe it's the best of the lenses for any of Sony's APS-C Cameras. If you're willing to ante up for a priceyLens, you will not be disappointed. The Optics are Professional grade with a nice wide f/1.8 aperture delivering really nice Bokeh. Excellent corner to corner sharpness. Being Zeiss, the build quality is superb. Nice quiet operation for both photos and video. I have to believe you'll be as happy with this Lens on your A6000 as I am on my NEX-7. If money is not a consideration, Go For It !!!!

I've used it on the Nex 6 and focus peaking as well as release shutter without lens works just fine. Best bet is to use aperture priority mode.

It is not a full frame lens. It will still function on a non-DX body, it would just crop the image.

Dennis, I have the NEX 6, and I first tried the adaptor without the translucent mirror, which had only intermittent autofocusing. By exchanging it for the LAE2 version, I experienced rapid autofocusing with my Sony A-mount lenses, particularly the 28-250 zoom. Yes, it does add some bulk to the NEX, but having the option to use several A-mount lenses with the nex 6 makes it a worthwhile purchase, in my estimation.I have a 35mm a-mount which is extremely fast-focusing, so your intended 90mm would work well. Bear in mind that the NEX has the focus peaking feature for those times when autofocus is impractical, but I like my fast focusing option with the adaptor attached.

Absolutely, I have a pair of NEX-6's and keep the 12mm mounted on one and use telephoto on the other. I shoot a lot of panoramas and the NEX-6 with this lens mounted on a mini-PanoFix, on a monopod is the best combination I have found for field work.

Input mine on my NEX6 an it fit perfect. Call a local camera shop that sells Sony (not a Best Buy, etc - a real camera store with knowledgable salespeople ) and ask if the screen size is the same as a nex6 if it is is should fit perfectly
