Really useful and unbiased information. Professionally I am a doctor, just a photography enthusiast. I think I must get the versatile Sony 16-70 mm lens for my a6400.
Thanks for you valuable inputs.

In reply to Anand. The kit lens is fine, Anand - you just need to play around with the focal length to get everything in shot.

Very useful information for my new A6400. Could you please suggest me which lens is good for shooting overhead videos/photos. I shoot DIY videos/product review videos mostly.
I currently use the kit lens.

In reply to Jaime. Hey Jaime, that's a really specific question that you'd be better off asking the manufacturer about, but imo, it would be ok!

Hi Mark;
Very good and valuable information.
My question is will the Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM for Canon Digital SLR Cameras which I believe is a canon EF mount work with the Sony A6400 using the Sigma MC-11 Mount Converter?
Is there other converters that would work?
Thanks

In reply to Veronika Farrelly. Both of those are good lenses, Veronika - it depends how far away you need to be from the mountain bike action! Choose the focal length, and then you'll have your answer.

Hi, I just got a scratch on my 18-55mm lens… (after a trip to Uluru Australia I notice the same dot everytime in the pic). I want to UPOGRADE to a better lens. no just replace it. What would you recommend???

To replaces it is approx $400 AUD… but happy to pay up to $1000AUD for a proper semi pro lens.
I am the amateur photographer for a mountain bike club (just a mum with a camera) and want a 1 stop shop as i have no time to change lens when I out with the kids jumping)

Looking at the
Sony E 16-70mm F4 Carl Zeiss ZA OSS Lens or Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens

Thanks

In reply to Steve Holloway. Hey Steve, definitely the 35mm, or something even wider would be good.

Hi Mark,

Great article. As a new A6400 owner with the stock lens, I’m looking to buy a lens so I can use my a6400 as a webcam and get good background blurring (bokeh?).

I’m not sure which to go for – the 35mm f/1.8 OSS and the 50mm f/1.8 OSS.

The camera will be just above my monitor, so about 90cm – 1m from my face.

Any advice gratefully received.

Steve

In reply to Irfan.

There’s not much in it, Irfan – just choose the focal length that’s best for your needs.

Very nice information regarding a6400 lenses. I am confused in between 35mm oss and 50mm oss. My queries is that which one will produce more clean and super pictures and videos regardless focal length .35mm or 50mm

Thanks and best wishes
