Can the a6000 be used without a lens (as one would use it coupled to a microscope)? There should be an option for it in the menu.

Yes, you can use the shutter without a lens attached. You will need to enable "release w/o lens" in the camera settings.

As long as something is there to focus the light, it should work (most microscope mounts/tubes have lenses in them). I'm guessing that the trickiest part might be getting a microscope to fit a sony E mount coupling (although you can get attachments that will let you mount to more standard sizes).

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

Yes you can adapt this lens to A6000, but one downfall would be not having any image stabilization. TheA6000 doesn't have any in body image stabilization and relies on lens Optical Steadyshotand this lens doesn't have Optical Steadyshot since it's meant for a SLT camera that dohave Steadyshot. When Sony A7000 comes out it'll have in body image stabilization.

Hi Efrain, yes, the lens will work with the A6000 without using an adaptor. The camera is fully compatible with any E-mount type lenses. Thanks_Mitch

No. There is no difference between manually focusing this lens and a lens without a gear.

If you mean can you buy an eyepiece camera and hook that up to the microscope, then yes. Just buy a high quality camera. I bought a $50 camera and used my computer monitor to see the images, but they weren't of good resolution.

Yes. Remember, it has no electronics and the aperture is fixed. You'll control your exposure by putting the camera in shutter speed priority mode and setting the shutter speed manually. Also, I've read that with some cameras you have to activate a setting to 'shoot without a lens'.

Sigma makes an E-Mount version of the 60mm F2.8DN E lens that should work on the a6000. Just be sure to get the E-Mount version.

I think that motor is built in as most of the other lenses. It's rare to see an AF lense without motor. By the way the camera does it all. From autofocus to image stabilize. You're still be able to focus object manually.

Yes, it works great with the A6000, and all canon EF lenses. The only thing is EF lenses do not have manual aperture rings so the lens will always be wide open.

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.

Lens does not come with the adapter although in my experience I was able to connect the lens without adapter but my camera required the la8. Never needed to use it though

This model does not come with a lens. You will need to buy a lens to take photos with this camera. It is a great camera and strongly suggested purchase, unless you are looking for a cheap camera. The lenses are not cheap.

On any scope you can mount a camera through one of the eyepieces. Just remember to focus through the microscope AND the camera to get a good image.

I think there are 2 - with and without optical stabilization. I have the one without OS which works just fine on a tripod for wildflowers (you don't use OS with a tripod anyway). The 150 mm focal length is a little much to use for handheld macros anyways IMHO! A very sharp optic.

Neither the camera nor the lens have build-in autofocus. So you can use it but you will have to focus manually

In one of the menus you should find the option to "Shoot without lens". Say yes. You can then leave it like that forever and it will not affect modern made for the camera lenses but will allow you to shoot non-electronic lenses with an adapter.
