Hi William, Fast Hybrid AF will not work on the Sony A6000 Camera with the use of Sony SEL35F18 Lens. -Vincent

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.

Sony sells two adapters. One does auto exposure only. The more expensive one does auto focus as well. Metabones and others do simple adapters too. I use the more expensive Sony (about $350), and it works very well.

Hi Kathy, this Sony ADPAMA will not work on your Sony a6000. Your camera uses a multi-interface shoe, wherein this Sony ADPAMA works for auto-lock accessory shoe. -Ely

A very pertinent question that only the seller can answer, as it depends on the manufacture date of the camera. the link to download the latest firmware update (1.06) is http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/SLT-A77/downloads/FW_A77_V106_WIN. Sure is a lot easier if that version i already on your camera when you buy it though:)

I have the same question, actually. That's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I would love to get myself in shots, as well as the entire family, but the problem I have now with just using the camera's self-timer is that you can't autofocus on yourself when you're behind the camera! The review I read seems to say that you can't autofocus using just the remote...but B. Babb's response makes me think otherwise. I'm sure someone else out there would care to clarify...

I don't think it would be worth it for getting warrenty service. The fix is generally to set the iso to 60 or something and work with some of the functions. Problem was I believe autofocus tends to calculate the iso too high in certain lighting situations and so create alot of noise which appears to be outoffocus

William I am using this device on my Sony A6000 (successor to the NEX-7) and I can control all lens functions including auto focus via the camera. I have not used the A7S, but I assume it would work similarly to the A6000. Happy shooting!!!

I'm quite confused by sony's new naming system for its E-mount cameras now. i don't have a6000, but if a6000 is E-mount, then this E(camera)-A(lenses) adapter should allow you to use any sony A-mount lens or minolta AF lens on sony E-mount camera, without autofocus.

I own a Sony a6000. The correct adapter should work as mentioned by Mike Bokeh In his review but most important you just loose the autofocus ability and believe me that is a feature that you need for fast focus shooting like sports, fast moving kids etc..I purchased it and returned it and wind up purchasing a comparable sony lens to really take advantage of the super fast focus capability of the camera. Otherwise you are defeating the whole purpose of owning one of the fastest compact autofocus cameras.

As of the August 2014 update it has autofocus. Not even the tech support guy we spoke to knew that. The autofocus works fine. Not as fast as a canon dslr, but good enough.

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.

Works great on my T3i, including autofocus in still mode. Haven't tried autofocus in video mode.

I use it on my a6000 and I haven't ever hadany problem. It works great, just that in direct flash mode gives you sometimes harsh shadows

Yes it will work. Autofocus is not supported. All you have to do is make sure that "Release w/o lens" option in the setup menu is enabled. Hope this helps.

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.
