Will the Sony SLR version of this lens work with the Alpha mount? If so, is the lens too heavy for it? Thanks.

Sony dSLRs use the Alpha mount so the Alpha mount version of this lens will work on these cameras. As for whether it would be too heavy, that is a matter of personal opinion. The cameras are built have these and even heavier lenses mounted so that won't be a problem. It will be heavier and bigger than some of the other prime lenses out there, of course, since it's a larger aperture, macro lens.

Sorry, I shoot Canon gear. I Don't know a thing about Sony or Alpha mounts. It's a great lens though.

No the lens is definitely an Alpha only mount. There may be some adapters you can use to mount A-mount lenses on E-mount cameras. I believe the Carl Zeiss line may have a lens with similar properties coming out soon.

Yes. The alpha6000 does not have built-in "sensor-shifting" image stabilization. This means if you want image stabilization it must be included in the lens. I think the Sony advertises this as Optical SteadyShot or having OSS technology.As an aside, it is more difficult to implement built-in image stabilization into cameras with large sensors without greatly increasing the body size, because the distance the sensor would need to travel for the stabilization effect increases with its size. I think this is why Sony is choosing to keep stabilization in the lens.

I have a Digital SLR-A330 SONY Camera and purchased this lens. It works great on this camera. Morrison, Waxhaw, NC

The DSLR a580 uses an Alpha mount from Sony, so I don't see a reason why the Sony Alpha mount of this Rokinon lens would not work.

A great lens, but it is heavy (~3lbs). I use it with a 5D mkii and it's fantastic!! highly recommended.

I am not sure; I have an alpha 77 and it is compatible and the lens is wonderful!

Rusk,According to Sony's website, this lense is compatible with alpha NEX-3, alpha 57, alpha 58, alpha 65, and alpha 77. None of them are full frame. I used for my alpha 65, and it works great.

Yes Alpha models all use the A-Mount lens systems. Unless you are getting an awesome price for this lens or someone is giving it to you, I would not recommend this glass. It will rapidly end up in your closet after a few uses. Why? The zoom range is poor and the f-stop is quite narrow limiting your abilities to shoot in low light without a tripod and low shutter speed and high ISO resulting in grainy photos. The Sony 75-300 originally came as throw away "kit" lens on the first gen. A100. For a long zoom lens I would recommend the Sigma 18-250 or Sony 18-250. You will pay more for this lens but in the end you will find it has much more utility, smaller footprint, faster glass, your most useful lens and much more happier with your photos.

Thanks for the warning, so that I keep my camera away from our dog. Yes, as I understand, all Sony lenses that work on an Alpha camera will work on any other Alpha camera, including the A100.

Yes it will work with any alpha mount camera. It is a full frame lens but would work fine on an aps-c camera. It's a small, light, and sharp lens. It is relatively slow regarding af, so not necessarily the best for action. Great portrait lens.

I got this lens for my Sony a230 DSLR. Don't know if it will work for the Alpha

Thank you for contacting us. This lens will fit a variety of camera models but you would need to purchase the correct T-mount. For your Sony Alpha A560 you would need to purchase the mount found at ASIN listing ID B0088ZWHI2.

This will allow the use of a Canon FD manual focus lens on a Sony Alpha. It is NOT for the new style Canon AF lenses for the digital Canon. Also, in the menu of the Sony, the camera has to be set to fire without lens attached. This is in the custom menu listed as Release w/o lens and it must be set to enable. Make sure that you can find this option in the menu before you purchase the adapter. Not all of the Sony's have this ability and the entry level models may not. Put the mode dial on P,A,S, or M to check out the full menu.

Yes, this lens works with Sony alpha 77, 65, and the new 77ii. (It also works with the full-frame Alpha 99.)

No, the Alpha 100 is the Sony "A" mount, this is for use on Sony "E" mount cameras.

suggest you visit the Sigma Website to determine whether Sigma sells the lens with a Sony Mount adapter. Initial research into such matters usually resolves many easily answerable questions.
