You can also use Sony ‘E’ lenses and Sony ‘FE’ lenses on the A6000-series cameras. A full-frame FE lens will be heavier and more expensive but can make a great macro, portrait, or telephoto lens – especially if you think you might upgrade to a full-frame body later. Check out our guide to the best Sony lenses if you want to know more.
For shorter focal lengths and wider angles of view, you do need an APS-C ‘E’ mount lens – specifically kit lenses or ultra-wide zooms. The crop factor of the Sony E bodies means that full-frame lenses offer a reduced angle of view, curtailing their wide-angle capability with the smaller sensor.
