Follow-up on seeking replacement camera
Mar 19, 2018 11:36:53 #
I dropped my a6000 Sony camera while on vacation and the kit lens will not move out when turning the camera on and the body will not recognize the lens. I am back home now and I attached a Canon to Sony converter to the camera and attached several Canon lenses to the Sony and took pictures and all the lenses worked only by mauual focus, nothing new. I can conclude that the problem is with the lens, not the body. All the other functions on the body seem to work, etc, menu items. I priced renting a e mount lens from Lensgiant for a week, rental plus shipping= $50, seems kind of steep. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. folks might have on the matter, thanks in advance. Bob

Take your camera to a retail store someplace where you can attach a Sony OEM lens and confirm that autofocus, etc works. If it does, the kit lens is toast. Time to upgrade.

Oh geez, get over it already! You're not going to get ANYBODY to downgrade their camera because YOU think they should.

I am guessing you have the 16-50mm lens. Its fragile and seldom survives a drop. Always good to test another lens directly but you likely will need to buy a replacement.

$50 for a week is a very fair rental price based on sone local rental prices I have seen.

Is is the excuse for getting that new and better lens than the kit lens. Carpe diem.

I see not one word in his post that suggests he is looking for another camera, so your statement is totally irrelvant.

I just read the first line.....something about dropping his camera. I thought Greentoe.com was the place he should look into.

Read the title. He no longer has a working lens. Good time to change systems.
