Key Features
- E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/22
- Three Low Dispersion Elements
- Sonnar Optical Design
Updating a tried-and-true optical design for use with full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the Batis 85mm f/1.8 from ZEISS is a portrait-length, short telephoto lens featuring a fast maximum aperture for greater focus control and enhanced low-light shooting. The Sonnar-type design, in conjunction with three anomalous partial dispersion elements, offers high contrast and accurate rendering by virtually eliminating color fringing and chromatic aberrations. A floating elements system is also used, for consistent performance throughout the focusing range, in order to achieve even sharpness and clarity. An enhanced ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to significantly reduce ghosting and lens flare for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in difficult lighting conditions.
Is this Batis 85mm ideal for indoor basketball ...
Is this Batis 85mm ideal for indoor basketball usage, focus fast enough?
The autofocus speed/accuracy really depends on the camera. Although this lens would be serviceable for shooting sports, you'll be much happier spending a little more to get the Sony FE 70-200mm F4. That's the perfect lens if you're just getting into sideline shooting; it will give you more reach and flexibility than the 85, and it is a little sturdier.

question
Will this lens work on the a6000?
Yes, it will work beautifully. This lens will work with any E mount camera. But instead of a 85mm it will be an 127.5mm lens equivalente due to the 1.5 factor.
