Just migrated from Canon to Sony mirrorless and it invigorated my love of shooting.

A full frame e-mount lens and be mated to an apc body (a6000) with no problems right? Just as any FE lens can be attached to a crop body Canon.


Canon 40D | Tokina 12-24 f4 | Canon 28-135 f3.5-5.6IS | Canon 50 1.8II | Sigma 30 f1.4 | Canon 55-250 f4-5.6IS | Canon Speedlite 430EXII

Correct. Also, Sony does lens naming backwards from Canon.

Sony lens mount is E-mount. All lenses are E-mount lenses. Only E-mount lenses specified as "FE" will cover a full frame image circle. All E-mount lenses will work on all E-mount cameras (full frame or APS-C), but mounting a non-FE lens on a full frame body (A7 series) will engage the crop factor or have large vignette. All "FE" lenses will work fine on the a6000.

I have made the same move. As far as I can tell from my research the ef converters do not work very well with af on the older Canon lenses. Just FYI.
