Buying as a gift? This page is for the Sony a6000 and its Sony E mount: lenses from other mounts will not fit it. Lenses were picked by their manufacturer specs, not tested by us.

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links never affect our specs or which lenses we compare.

Wildlife is a reach problem. On the Sony a6000's APS-C sensor a lens frames 1.5× as tight as marked, so the reach column shows what you actually get.

The Sony a6000 has no in-body stabilisation, so stabilisation inside the lens matters: 5 of these 6 have it (OIS, VR, IS or similar in the name).
