Shopper conversation with Courtney B on July 20, 2016

Courtney B
Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at lenses?
Did you have some questions about any in particular tonight?
Or need some help choosing one?
yes.. i am thinking of getting a lens... Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor Lens
Courtney B
Ok!
That's a fantastic lens!
i have a sony alpha 6000
Courtney B
Ok.
it will not fit huh
Courtney B
To use that lens with your camera, you'd need to use an adapter
So no, the lens would not fit on its own
can you let me know what adapter to get
Courtney B
Sure! Or you could get a 50mm lens for the A6000 for much cheaper
oh... there's a same lens specific for sony
Courtney B
Yes. Let me bring that up for you!
sorry .. i am just starting on this
dont know much yet
Courtney B
No problem!
Did you want a black lens? Or silver?
i guess..black
Courtney B
Ok!
Here it is! :-)
this is better than one that comes with my a6000?
i have 16-50mm
Courtney B
Yes, this lens is going to offer better image quality and much better low light performance
oh... thats good... i am trying to learn astrophography...
Courtney B
Ok, cool!
This would be great for that!
what about... a wide angle lens... since i have APS-C one..
Courtney B
Ok
Were you thinking of a prime lens? Or a zoom?
prime...
Courtney B
Ok!
This would be a great option
got it ... i will get started on these lenses...
Courtney B
Ok, sounds great!
Are you by any chance planning to purchase at this time? If so feel free to leave your chat window open so that I can help if needed and confirm that your order went through ok
... i am watching a movie for this 16mm... and some accessories...
Courtney B
Ok, great!
Let me know if you have questions about it, ok?
yes..i will.
OLED viewfinder....
Courtney B
Ok!
That's just the type of technology used in the optics
yes... the a6000's viewfinder is quite cumbersome
its for the right eye...
Courtney B
Yes, that's correct
i think this one is centered
i am having a hard time viewing init
Courtney B
Ok. Unfortunately there isn't any solution to the viewfinder.
You'd either use the viewfinder or the screen to take photos
fisheye converter -- fitting in front of the lens
Courtney B
Ok
oh... i thought the OLED viewfinder is fitted at the top of the camera.. where we put the aux.. flash
Courtney B
Hmmm...let me see if they have one of those available
ok... thanks
Courtney B
You're welcome
One minute
Still checking on this
One minute
ok... just browsing here...
Courtney B
Ok, thanks!
Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor Lens
Courtney B
Ok, yes?
Did you have questions about that lens?
i am looking at this one... instead of the sony 16mm 2.8
Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN ART Lens for Sony E-mount Cameras, Black
Courtney B
Ok!
sorry... this one...
Courtney B
That's another great option
the sigma
Courtney B
Slightly less wide, but still a good lens
Yes, the Sigma
oh... i thought its wider..
19mm?
Courtney B
No
The smaller number is wider
So the 16mm lens here would be the widest option
oh i see
Courtney B
:-)
good to know....thanks for the input
Courtney B
Your'e welcome!
I'm not seeing the viewfinder in our inventory
Did you see it on Adorama somewhere?
oh..i just saw that on the video presentation for the 16mm
Courtney B
Ok. I don't believe we carry that item
I'm not finding it in our inventory
thats fine... perhaps i can check that on the sony website...
Courtney B
Ok!
Sounds great
i think... i got what i need ... putting them on the wish list.... i will make the purchase later..
Courtney B
Ok, sounds great!
Make sure to stop back in chat if you have any further questions, ok?
i greatly appreciate your assistance and inputs..
Courtney B
You're very welcome!
I'm glad that I was able to help!
