I see you using a SmallRig Cage, do you recommend this for everyone?
4 years later and this video is still amazing, relevant, and useful. Job well done.
Always very good instructional videos. I dont know anyone else going in depth with any camera more than you have with the A6000. That's why I haven't wanted to change or upgrading it. I have learned so much. Thanks!
This! This is exactly what I need for my next trip! Focus peaking makes it a lot easier to do manual with a manual lens.
I bought this lens on your recommendation a couple of days ago (for my a6000). Went out to shoot tonight and took one of the best photos I've ever shot. Thanks for the great tutorial!
You approach to instructional videos is excellent. I'll be going on a tour of Europe next May and have decided to pick up a Sony a6000 for the trip. This will be my first true digital camera (apart from phone cam) so these kind of vids are exactly what I've been looking for. I did some photography back in high school many moons ago with my old Pentax SLR but I've forgotten most of what I had learned during that time.
I had been looking at the Sony SEL35F18 as my likely second lens after the Kit lens but was hesitant to lay out the cash before regaining a little more knowledge and skill. The Meike lens is perfect for learning the art again!
Hey man, thank you so much for great beginners tutorial. It is really appreciated.
Wish all the best to you and all loved ones!
Dude. This tutorial was awesome! It was super in-depth, clearly a lot of effort put in, very easy to understand; helped me choose between Meike and the kit lens for when I got my A6000. Thanks a lot, keep it up!
I’m using this same lens with my a6500, I watched and found this video helpful to knock the rust off, haven’t used a manual lens in a while and have been testing the zone focusing the same way he demonstrated in the video, with the action hero figure at the focul distance in feet, I also flip the back panel up on the camera to kind of use it like look down viewfinder camera, great video, subscribed, thank you for taking the time to put the video together and posting it
I can see why you're a teacher now .. great stuff, I needed to understand more in depth focus peaking for using the Samyang f2.0 with the a6500. thanks ..cheers!
Just want to thank you for this video. I’ve been shooting with my manual lens the wrong way all this time. The Focus peaking technique blew my mind. Thanks!
Thanks, It was very helpful. I just unboxed my Meike lens and after viewing and practicing your tutorial i am completely happy with my purchase
Fantastic Tutorials, Engaging style which keeps you hooked. None of the "I know it all attitude which some of the big name vloggers exude ". Great Job.
i picked up a sony a6000 with this exact lens and followed along on how to use. Thanks for the vids keep'em coming
Your teaching style is fantastic! Down to earth, practical and easy to understand! You have a great gift for teaching, my friend.
Such valuable information - even all these years later! Thank you for making this!
I love your videos, watch often as I have an a6000 and you make learning so much easier!
Really appreciate you taking the time to explain things so thoroughly!! It’s really helpful for a newbie for manual lenses like myself
Thank You, I have learned a lot about my new camera! You have great content and obviously very informative!
Thank you so much this video was a huge help as I'm just starting photography with my A5100 and Neewer 35mm F1.7 lens
Rodrigo Terranova - How well did this work with your A5100? Was it as easy as this video makes it seem?
I watched this video when i first started photography with a manual lens in 2019. I am back after not touching my camera for a year. What a great tutorial.
Thank you so much for this video. I was between the 50mm and 35mm and went with the 35 because of your video example. Awesome video! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the video! I am getting a Meike 50mm lens for a Canon aspc and while I had to figure out some of the internal settings (focus peaking is a dream!), I definitely feel more confident in using a manual focus lens! Cheers!
You're a great teacher, Danny. Thank you for this video!
Thank youuu! Just bought my A6000 and your videos help me a lot.
Subscribed after this excellent video. Super teaching style. I bought a Meike 35mm f1.7 recently but didn’t know how to use it. Now I do! Thank you!
Very good video man! I liked the way you explained everything
I was shooting today with a old Sigma 70-200 Constant 2.8 manual lens and love it. Great Video.
This is one of the best tutorials for manual lens 🎉
A lot to take on, well done for sticking with it. Very helpful. Thanks for the hats work much appreciated...
Fantastic video and fantastic lenses. I literally bought these lenses after watching this video and got amazing photos!!
This is the best detailed video on how to set up the manual lens.
Awsm video mate 😍
Good video. I mostly shoot with vintage lenses with my A6000, and I have about 30 of them in my collection. I enjoy using manual focus. I usually use AF lenses for moving subjects. Instead of using M mode, I normally use the A mode so I can just ignore the shutter speed. I also set Auto ISO, so the camera will automatically adjust ISO and shutter speed. On occasions, I use S or M mode.
Programmer Qn Will you prefer the Meike 35mm f1.7 lense when shooting a portait picture?
What adapter (with lenses) you use the most?
@@shunel8407 Portrait lenses are more around 85mm to 100mm with the choice of a wide aperture if possible F2 to F2.8. A 35mm lens is very suitable for a perfect walk around lens for taking street photography or any type of photography when you are traveling. The focusing on wide angle lenses is not as critical as telephoto lenses.
Great video! Super educational especially for beginners like me who don't know too much of the more technical jargons used in photography. Extremely detailed but in a more simplified manner. If that makes sense.
Really great video - such patient tuition, going nice and slow - really well done
It's so good, thanks. I hope you'll produce more clips like this
I appreciate your awesome tutorial, one of the best tutors I found on RUclips. Many thanks!
Amazing! I watched till the end and learn bunch of meike lens. Thanks for sharing
recently just got my A6000 secondhand and with the same lens that youre using, big thanks for the video, really helpful for beginners to use this camera properly, very easy to understand, thumbs up from me👍👍👍👍
Great video man. Couldn't figure out how to get the focus zoom working on my a6300 with a manual lens. Thanks for covering that!
i just purchased this lens and this tutorial is really helpful!
This was an amazing video! Thank you so much for your effort and preparation, as well as super clear explanations :)
Thank you for making these videos! I've learned a lot from you😉

Thank you SO MUCH. I was going to sell my manual lens. Now because of you I’m ready to master it. Subscribed
This is such an awesome video!
You nailed this video Mate. Salute!!!!!!!!
I’ve been using my Sony a6000 since 2014 and now I can do Focus Peaking Technique- Thank you very much. In a few minutes I’m going to hit the street to make some pictures.
You're such a great teacher! Thank you!
Quite informative and well delivered. The focus mag shortcut will come in handy. Thank you sir.
OK, I SUCK at science and the technical side of photography and I'm here because I got a rokinon manual lens for my A6000, per a friend's recommendation (he's an engineer). Just about had a meltdownwhen it didn't appear to work. I've only watched 9 1/2 minutes of this video so far, but you have a REALLY GOOD way of explaining things in a way I understand. I've been 'faking it 'til I make it' for years. lol THANK YOU for helping me understand some concepts I've just been 'fudging' - I knew the 'how'... thanks to this video I now understand some of the WHY. THANK YOU!!!
Great info and such a great teacher! I've learned so much with your videos!
Love your videos very much. Appreciate them. Probably gonna get that Lens

After watch your video, I decide to buy this Mieke 35mm soon, the Sony 35 will be on my next list when i have enough money to spend.
Love it, so deep info
LOVE YOUR VIDEO !!! Thanks !!
Great video! Love your blue background.
That's one really informative video! thanks
Very good explanation
Great video!
You are the man .thanks a lot all your videos help so much
I use a lot of older Canon FD lenses. 24, 28, 35 mm F2.8 and a 50 mm F1.4. Very cheap second hand, the 50mm F1.8 you can get for nearly nothing. They are stunning and the Sony A6000 is a great camera for using manual lenses. Tnx for the nice vlog.
Bro, thank you so much. You're a great teacher.
Great vid!
Thank you very very much for your video, it had teach me so much!
nice video dude easy to learn thanks you so much
Thanks for the tutorial, I had a devil of a job to activate the C1 button as the focus magnifier, but this video showed me how, thank you that1cameraguy.
Great tutorial!
I just got a sony a6000, I thought about taking classes to learn and understand what the camera can do since I am new. Now that I discover your videos, will be relying on it from now on. Thank you so much for all the helpful information, very innovative and thorough. My favorite so far is this video and the ISO, shutter & aperture explanation. Do you teach outside youtube? BTW, just sub'd and given thumbs up! :)
+dee I'm a high school media teacher, but haven't ventured to doing workshops
OMG - thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to use the focus magnification thing for a bit but didn't get that it was a two step process. Sometimes focus peaking just doesn't give me the certainty I want. Oh, you should know...the little ad that's on the bottom of the screen is asking me if I'm concerned about cleaning my gutters....
What an amazing in-depth video! Thank you very much for taking the time to do this! So much information. NGL - I listened to you at 2X lol. Question for you: Do you recommend using this lens at a fixed distance for video interviews with a Sony A6000/A6400?
Thank you, very informative video.
Nice presentation Danny...Thanks
Thank you
Thank you for this video
Thank you!!! Such a good helpful vid :)
super love your tutorial!
Its was useful, I learnt some new stuff. Thanks!
Thanks! That was really good information!
By far, the best tutorial I've seen. SUBSCRIBED!!
Very easy to understand and full of information. Own A6000+kit and still hesitating for next len. I shoot lot of toys(lego, action figures). So macro lens? 🤔
Great lens, I have use it for a month, and feels good, especially for potrait mode, but, have a soft vignette affect in edge of the picture.
