Hi! I'm Dan. How are you?
Did you have a lens question I could help with?
Hi Dan. I am well. Thanks
Daniel H.
great to hear
Yes, I am looking for a sports action lens for my Sony A6000.
Daniel H.
okay a zoom or prime lens?
Zoom
Daniel H.
okay great
did you have a budget range yuo wanted to stay within?
Not necessarily
Daniel H.
what zoom range were you seeking to be within?
the what kind of sports?
the 70-200 is a popular option. Sony E mounts will work with your camera.
Primarily gymnastics and volleyball. Sometimes the gymnastics is somewhat low light.
Daniel H.
okay
a 70-200 would do fine but it may be more cumbersome.. let me see what else is out there

Daniel H.
this would offer you a bit more zoom range and pull back to a portrait style frame
Looks like a good option. Would there be any significant reason to consider using an adapter to bring in more options?
Daniel H.
in that case they often work for optics but I have heard they sometimes have problems with the electronics.. some may not have af work correctly.
Ok. Thinking Sony E-mount may be sufficient and no concerns with compatibility.
Daniel H.
okay cool
thinking some more
looking at mounts available
Do you carry Sigma lenses?
Daniel H.
we do have a variety of lens brands from Sigma
as well as other brands?
we also carry zeiss and canon and nikon lenses
Would you say the Sony's are sufficient?
Daniel H.
Sony makes a very good lens.. and are suitable for the camera certainly.
Ok. Sound good. I appreciate your help. You guys are in NYC correct?
Daniel H.

Did you need the street addy?
