Yes it will fit all A-mount Sony lenses. I've got the a65 and the puctures are amazing. Great for travelers on the go.

Yes, this may fit, as the conector is the same for my A65, where I am using it. I never tried the Sony similar model, but the image quality, quietness and AF speed is amazing. I would recomend this one.

Hi Karen, I've never owned a A390 but I'm sure it will fit. The lens fits all Sony A cameras. Its a pretty good lens,but I don't know how it compares with the Sony version. I suspect Sony is better, it usually is. You get what you pay for. Hope this helps you. JK

This Tamron lens comes in a mount for Minolta, which is the same mount as Sony's. If you buy either the Minolta or Sony version, it will fit.

Sorry, I only have the Nikon version of this lens. I don't know anything about any Sony versions of the lens.

I'm not a Sony-savvy user but there is no crop with the adapter using the A-Mount 70-300mm with my A7. In other words, Sony lenses designed for fukl frame cameras remain full frame on the A7 with the adapter. I think I'm correct but others may know better.

I recently bought a Sony STL-A55V camera and shot a number of high school play cast members portraits using a Sigma 90mm f2.8 fixed lens and did not have any problems at all. I really liked the results. I have some Sigma zoom lenses and I will try those and see if a problem occurs with them. I upgraded from a Sony A300 and think that the A55 is far better camera. I sold the A300 which I enjoyed for two years but I was never happy with its low light performance. The features on the A55 are a lot of fun.

This is a great lens for the money. I use mine for all the reasons you stated, and have been pleased with the photos I have gotten. I have used it with an A700, A350, A55, and A77 and it performered great with these cameras. It is plastic housing which many think derides the lens, but I have found nothing to support this complaint. It is a good general lens, and I would buy this again if needed.

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.

I have an a6000 with the same kit lens. The SELP1650 max apperture @ 16mm F3.5 is sharper than the SEL16F28 @ F3.5. I think the kit lens OSS is helping give sharper results while the the SEL16F28 is just horrible at F2.8 to F5.0. I'm dissappointed with this lens. Stick with the kit lens otherwise maybe the Sony 20mm F2.8 is better.

I have used the Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS on my NEX 7 and on the Sony A7, but I have not used it on the A6000 so I cannot be of help to Kenny. Sorry.

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.

It should fit as long as it is an alpha mount. I have a Sony alpha 390 and alpha 58 that this lens works with.

Yes, as long as you pick the one made for the Sony A-mount, its a sweet lens if you like manual focus and the good thing about Sony Cameras is the focus peaking which makes it a lot easier for pinpoint focus with this lens

I have Canon D60 and T3i and this lens is fantastic on both at all settings. I would contact sigma and talk to them about it.

Sigma also makes compatible and good but much less expensive e mount lenses for the NEX / alpha cameras. Worth a look. I think those are called DN lenses. Also if you have an old film camera like ones that take Canon FD lenses, you can buy an inexpensive adapter top use those old lenses on the a6000 in manual focus mode using the focus peaking assistance. Let's you save money and get great old fast (f1.8 to f2.8 range) glass for your camera that would cost $600-9000 in a Sony mount.

The Tamron AF 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Lens Aspherical [IF] MACRO, works "without limitation" according to the website of Pentax. I use a Sony A99 and I have nothing to complain about, especially f: 8 and up. Good luck!

Matthew, Sigma has released information of a replacement lens which will hit the market towards the end of March. the lens is priced at $499 and boasts significant upgrades to almost every aspect of the lens. With that being said the price of this version of the lens has been slashed (lucky people like me found it for $289). I would consider your need for this type of lens. Most of the bad reviews come from earlier models of this particular version (matted black Vs smooth black). The defective lens's rightfully so get poor reviews, however the functioning models get high praise. I have tested the sharpness and autofocus and my unit is perfectly fine. I decided that $500 was too much for a new lens and $289 was a bargain for its older brother. If you look around you may still find that clearance price. I hope this helped!
