I have the A6000 with the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 lens. Would there be any "wideness" difference in a shot taken at 16mm compared to this lens?

You'll get a better f stop down to 2.8 which is essentially when taking pictures

No, 16 is 16, the only big difference is that this lens is f2.8 so you get slightly better photos in low light and slightly better bokeh. Also this lens can have adapters installed that brings the lens down to 10mm wide angle or Fisheye. It's a good light lens to practically make your A6000 a big pocket cameras. I also have an A600 and this lens, I sold my 16-50 and kept this one.

It is not possible to use this lens on a Sony A6000 as the lens is for Micro Four Thirds and the A6000 is APS-C. I got to try this lens and it is a beautiful M43 lens... maybe better (in my opinion) than anything Sony has put out yet (I am a Sony A6000 user.) But there are always trade offs.

Hi Richard Yes it is a wider lens and very sharp minimal distortion. I use it a lot for landscapes etc. it's very small and light and for the price I think it's worth it

Before I bought my 18-200, I was often disappointed that I'd miss that great shot because I had the exact wrong lens on my camera (If I had the 18-55, I'd inevitably see something moving in the distance that I'd wanted to shoot,etc..). By the time I'd switched, the opportunity was often gone. The 18-200 meant less missed shots.

I'm not familiar with the lens you are using but the 16-35 is pretty fast. I prefer the 24 mm 1.4 for low light though

I used the extension tubes in my 60D with 60mm macro and even on the 70-200 L lens. They do increase the close up ability. But the AF is somewhat functionless, and I have to move my camera back and forth manually to get the best focus. Hope this will help you.

If you're using on the APC-S type sensor (i.e. like on the Sony a6000) there will be a crop factor of about x1.5 (so this is equivalent to about 45MM --> 30 * 1.5) - oops - looks like this was already answered below. Great lens - not as sharp as I was expecting in low light - for which situation you're better off with Sony's 50mm f/1.8).

It will look like a 65mm on your camera. Because of the cropped sensor. It's all up to your personal preference if you want a medium/tight lens or a wide one.

I don't own the Sony, so I can't speak to the A6000. I absolutely love the E-M10 for a few reasons: 1. The lens is the most important part of the camera kit. The Micro 43 standard also includes Panasonic, so I have two camera companies developing compatible lens. I often switch between makes (along with Sigma) depending on the situation. 2. The M10 sensor isn't as large as the full frame a6000, but that has not kept kept me from getting superb sharpness, particularly with the Oly 75mm. The smaller sensor also generally allows for a smaller camera and lens than the a full frame equivalent, something I'd think is important to a travel journalist (check out the GM1!). I moved from a Nikon APS-C SLR and there might have been a time when I'd have played it safe and gone full frame, but we're a few generations along on M43 sensors now and I'm very glad I settled on M43. 3. The Micro 43 allows for inexpensive backup bodies like the E-PM2 or E-PL5 (both use the same battery and charger which is HUGE). Both use an almost identical sensor to the M10, just with fewer manual controls. 4. The dual wheel controls of the M10 are fantastic when shooting manually. 5. Both cameras have focus peaking which allows you to use inexpensive (and durable) old manual focus lens. If that interests you, it's probably worth comparing both FP systems. 6. Panasonic is the leader in video, but the one time I shot video with the M10, the 3 axis stabilization did an amazing job of steadying the shot. I swear it's witchcraft of some sort. Truth is you'll get superb results with either camera. I'd take a hard look at the lens catalog for both cameras and see if that tips you one way or the other.

It's about the same this lens is what the earlier models came with I think I have the 16-50 lens too this one is just all manual and it feel there's more attachments for it like wide angle and fish eye instead of buying a whole new lens for both of those options.

I am using Voigtlander lenses on mine and have slight darkening at the edges if I go lower than 40mm - I believe the Leica lenses are the same. You would be safe at 50mm and above; however, don't forget that Lightroom can fix the problem, and in addition, Sony has just released a new camera app to fix any lens issues like this.

This lens goes from 14mm (wide angle) to 150mm. The lens you are comparing it to starts at 40mm (80mm equiv) so does not let you get the wider angle shots. My 14-150mm lens is my favorite on my Olympus E-M1 -- even though I also have the Olympus Pro 12-40mm at twice the price. I love the versatility.

Yes I believe you will especially on the 11-16mm. But I also think that shooting with that wide of lens, in most cases you could afford to crop it out if necessary.

I have both on a nex-6 looking to move to a a6000 but both lenses are great. The 24mm much sharper when blown up but color contrast wise the 16-70 is good enough. the 24mm obviously has a super bright aperture but the telephoto is much versatile .

The cheaper lens is a 40-150mm, the more expensive is 14-150, allowing wide angle shots through to approx 10 x zoom. It minimises lens changeovers, there's a better chance of having the "right" lens on the camera at any time.

Like the rest of the comments, you are right, it will become a 48mm lens, pretty close to what you see is what you get through the viewer. I did notice the lens it has a unique sound when it is focusing. it is pretty cool. I been using this lens for a while now, and it took me a little to get use to it. (I normally shoot with a 18- 200 zoom) so moving forward and backward to get the shot took some getting use to.

My answer to this is to set the lens at F8 either with Aperture Priority or Manual Mode. Having the lens wide open at F 4.5 just doesn't give the best results IMO. The results of learning this lesson is in the early results of seeing soft images at the edges of the pictures and loss of sharpness. F8 makes all the difference with this lens at least for me.
