Best Lenses for Sony A5000

- Recently I made multiple videos about my old Sony A5000 and during that process I've been using my old camera more.
Although my Sony A6400 is a better camera in every single way, the little A5000 is an interesting camera even now.
With its low cost and light weight body the best lenses for this camera in my opinion are the low cost and lightweight lenses. Lets go see which lenses fit the A5000 best.

I sold my a6000s with the primes I had added to the kit. Traded off my A7RII recently. Sticking with DSLR for full frame and APS-C. I kept the a5000 (love this little camera) with the two kit lenses and the Rokinon 12mm manual focus. A handy little kit that fits in a small bag. Or use just the 16-55 which is quite compact when collapsed and stuff the a5000 in a pocket.
The three lenses you mentioned + A5000 makes a very portable kit! Although the ZV-E10 is similar size, but much more expensive. So the A5000 is still a great camera even in 2022! 👍👍
Awesome dude, just what I was looking for. Appreciate the review!
Thanks for your comment, glad it helped! 👍👍
Great video man. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated! 👍👍
just bought one of these a5000 cameras, my first ever camera im buying any tips or vids u know of ?. Realy nice video btw, good voulm and music in the background didnt disturb the talking realy enjoyed it
Thank you! A5000 are part of the Sont APS-C camera family and in terms of use and interface, not a lot has changed over the years...so you can look at any Sony APS-C camera guide videos (eg. A6000, A6400, A6600, etc) and they should all be helpful! 👍👍
Excellent job! Thanks! 👍🏾
Thank you for the comment! 👍👍
Great review. Thank you!
Thank you, happy you enjoyed it 👍👍
Please suggest me a lens for my Sony a5000
Lens for near objects
And far objects
I very new to this and doesn't know about these stuff
Please suggest me good lens
Thanks
For the A5000,
Near objects or Macro - Sony 30mm F3.5 Macro (SEL30M35)
Far objects - Sony 55-210 included in this video
Although if you just want a all-in-one lens, the kit lens 16-50mm or the Sony 18-105mm are great options! 👍👍
@@DoubleThumbsUp thanks 💯
Thank you for the review man. Which one would you suggest for shooting a guitar playing video (usually in low light)? Thanks!
No problem, out of three I would say the Rokinon because it's F2. But if you could stretch the budget to $400 the Sigma 16mm F1.4 would be the pick! 👍👍
Hi man! Video was very helpful 👍🏽.
I have a question, best macro lens for a5000? What would you pick. Thanks
Hi, I'm happy you found it helpful! for the A5000, I would pick the Sony 30mm F3.5 Macro ($250) just because the best macro lens is 6x the cost of the A5000 (Sony FE 90mm F2.8 = $1000+). Wouldn't make sense to put a $1000 lens on the A5000 in my opinion 👍👍
Hey man great video! Does the camera shoots in 1080p?
Thank you! The Sony A5000 can record 1080p videos. 👍👍
@@DoubleThumbsUp great! One more thing, is Rokinon 12mm and Meike 12mm the same? I mean what if i go for the meike 12mm can i attach it to the a5000?
@@diostaylow Rokinon is a F2 whereas the Meike is a F2.8 (from what I found). I didn't even know that Meike lens existed, but if you buy the one for the Emount it'll fit and it looks like they make one for the Sony APS-C Cameras 👍👍
@@DoubleThumbsUp thank you so much!
@@diostaylow did you get a Mieke?
is there anything you can recommend for shooting music videos with skits or even “short film” aspects to them that may contain landscapes in backgrounds but also switch to close ups on the subject/person
Sounds like you need to go from wide to portrait, then a F2.8 zoom lens like the Sigma 18-50 ($550) or the Tamron 17-70 ($800) might be good, but both are pretty costly. If you don't need the background blur, using the kit lens alone would be a much cheaper way. Adding the 50mm f1.8 OSS if the budget allows should get you the bokeh! 👍👍
I just need a lens for reaction videos which would you recommend
It depends on what you prefer, but if I had to pick one lens for reaction videos I would choose the Sigma 30mm F1.4 - standard angle + low aperture + great image quality! 👍👍
Great video!
Thanks so much! 👍👍
Thank you! If I wanted to attach this camera to a teleprompter, would I need a step up ring? I bought a teleprompter with different adapters, but they don’t fit the camera lens. In other words, there’s no way to screw the adaptors that came with the teleprompter onto the camera lens.
I personally am not too familiar with attaching teleprompters as I don't use one, but I would think you'd need another adapter that will fit to your lens 👍👍
hey man its me again, hehe, got question about the rokinon 12mm on an a5000, does it have a bokeh effect background if your shooting it with a close subject? i apologize for the amateur
question hehe
Hi again, bokeh is dependent on the distance between the lens and the subject + distance between the subject and the background. Closer the lens is to the subject + further away the subject is from the background = most bokeh.
So you will have a nice bokeh going with the rokinom 12mm at F2 on an a5000 as long as you stick to those two rules 👍👍
@@DoubleThumbsUp thanks! That really helps me understand more :)
can you try does a5000 works with image edge mobile app? and try can you zoom and focus with the app? thank you
I tried with the A5000 and it does connect via WIFI to the Imaging Edge app, but basically only to transfer photos. Couldn't really do any zoom or focus unfortunately. Sony does list A5000 as a camera NOT capable of doing manual focus with it. 👍👍

@@DoubleThumbsUp thank you! :)
Hello,
Can you please write down that two lenses please?
Hi, the lenses in the video?
1. Sony 16-50mm
2. Samyang/Rokinon 12mm F2
3. Sony 55-210mm
Hope that helps! 👍👍
I kinda like cheap manual focus 25mm lenses on my a5100.
Yeah basically all cheap manual focus lenses will work great! 👍👍
what are kit lenses?
Kit lenses are lenses that are usually bundled with the camera body. For example, when Sony sold the A5000, it sold 2 variations - 1. A5000 with the kit lens (16-50mm or 55-210mm or both) 2. A5000 body alone.
So the 16-50 and the 55-210 are considered "kit" lenses! 👍👍
i just bought a a5000 today for 400 with 2 lenses can you recomend any for wildlife photography
Which 2 lenses did you get with it? The Sony 70-350mm will be great for wildlife photography, but it's $1000. The Sony 55-210mm will be a good alternative for around $100-200! 👍👍
@@DoubleThumbsUp I got the basic kit lens and a 16mm
@@kendallanthony6230 then yes the 55-210 will be a good telephoto lens to add! 👍👍
Can it run 1080p 60 FPS?
It can do 1080P60i, but I personally don't use it much as it's not 60p. If you need 60fps I would look at the A5100 👍👍
First?
👍👍
Thanks! 👍👍
Hah, I literally got the Samyang 35mm T1.5 for my a5000.
Not small at all, lol.
The Samyang 35mm T1.5 probably weighs twice as much as the A5000!
But hey, I am sure you're getting amazing images out of it 👍👍
@@DoubleThumbsUp I'm planning on making a short film with the lens and a5000.
The a5000 can handle the weight of the lens with no flex surprisingly, lol.
@@CommentRodent that's surprising to hear that A5000 is handling the heavy lens, but a good surprise. Good luck with your film! 👍👍
Video on this camera looks terrible
It's definitely an older camera in 2022, so in most cases your 4K smartphone cameras will look "better" 👍👍
@@DoubleThumbsUp Yes, only using zoom in a winter is bit tricky, also sensor size, for night filming
