I got the lowly “kit” lens that came with the camera.
Love the (somewhat) smaller form factor. Much more portable than a dale, but will never be a pocket camera.
Like many things, I wanted to go the “purist” route, but just could not lift my leg that high.

Also - I have to say that I have always been opposed to Sony products. Mainly because they take things like memory cards and stick you with their own proprietary designs. (Not the case here, by the way).

In any case, I’ve been test driving it since September or so, and I really like it.
I shopped Panasonic LUMIX, Fuji X-E2S and X Pro2, but just couldn’t do it.

The Sony takes great pictures and is pretty easy to use.
Seem to be lots of additional capability.
Only gripe is no built in GPS for metadata. I bought a separate GPS dongle, and it works - but is kind of fiddly.

There are several primes available, but I don’t see (my wife having) the patience for dealing with those.

Good luck in your search. I’ll be interested to hear your decisions.
(I got a bit of a bargain through “open box” from Best Buy - another example where I went against my gut. Hate hate hate Best Buy), and I popped for the extended warranty. Chances are pretty good that between travel, scouts and kids sporting activities - something could happen to it.

I also have an A6000 and am pretty happy with it. I solved the GPS tagging issue with this app: GeoTagPhotos. Works great. Just make sure your camera and phone clock are always in sync. Sounds easy, but throw in some plane travel and traveling across timezones and it becomes something you have to work on to remember.
