  • People and portraits: the brightest prime framing like 70–135 mm that weighs under 300 g.
  • Wide scenes and rooms: the widest zoom under 600 g, lightest on a tie.
  • Distant subjects: reach of at least 300 mm equivalent under 1.5 kg, longest reach per gram.
  • Close-up and macro: life-size (1x) or more, lightest first; otherwise the highest magnification.
  • Low light: f/1.4 or brighter framing like 35–60 mm, lightest first.

Rules from the numbers, not a review; no pick is paid for.

What each shortlisted lens frames on the a6600 from the same spot, at its widest. A zoom's dashed frame is its longest view.

Before you buy

  • 63 of these 158 lenses weigh more than the a6600 itself (503 g with battery and card). With those, you carry the camera by the lens.
  • 98 of the 158 are made for full-frame cameras. They fit and work; they are usually larger and heavier than an APS-C lens with the same view.

Memory card and battery for the a6600

What to buy with it, and what to do in the first hour.

Memory card

One card slot, SD / Memory Stick with the UHS-I bus. Any SDXC UHS-I card works for photos; a UHS-II card works too, at UHS-I speed. For 4K video, use a card rated V30 or faster.

Battery

NP-FZ100: about 810 shots using the screen, 720 using the viewfinder per charge by the CIPA test. It charges inside the camera over USB-C (switched off), so a spare battery and a power bank cover a long day.

The first hour

  1. Charge the NP-FZ100 fully before the first outing (in the camera, over USB-C, or in a charger).
  2. Insert the card, then format it in the camera: Menu, then the card or set-up tab, then Format. Copy anything on it first; formatting erases it.
  3. Set the language, date and time; the date goes into every photo's file.
  4. Fit the lens: line up the mount marks, turn until it clicks. Release by pressing the lens button.
  5. Take a test shot and play it back before you set off.

a6600 lens questions

Can I use full-frame lenses on the a6600?

Yes. 98 of the 158 lenses here are made for full-frame Sony E cameras and mount directly on the a6600. On this APS-C sensor they frame 1.5 times tighter than their focal length: a 50 mm lens frames like 75 mm.

Can I use Sony A-mount lenses on the a6600?

With Sony's LA-EA3 or LA-EA5 adapter. Autofocus with A-mount lenses depends on the adapter, the lens's motor and the camera. What each A-mount adapter keeps

Which memory card does the a6600 take?

One slot: SD / Memory Stick, UHS-I. For 4K video use a card rated V30 or faster.

Does the a6600 charge over USB?

Yes. The NP-FZ100 charges inside the camera over USB-C while the camera is off.

Does the a6600 have in-body image stabilisation?

Yes, sensor-shift stabilisation that works with every lens, including unstabilised primes.
