I think a6000 is a great beginner camera. Might be “last year’s model” but it’s still a beast. Best of all, The e-mount is compatible across the APS-C and FF bodies. Which is a giant plus.
Downside is the lenses aren’t exactly cheap.
I have two different lowepro bags that I could imagine would be easy to use for your situation.

I hope this is okay to ask here. Does it usually take this long to get photos done?
Timeline:
May 4th: Meet-up and take photos. He says it will be a week or two before he sends the images
May 19th: Sent follow-up email. His equipment got stolen but he'll have the link ready today after work.
May 20th: Link not ready
May 29th: Ask for an update
June 1st: Says he'll have them ready on Monday for sure
June 3rd: Sends the link around 6ish. I get to pick 12 images I like. Sent reply around 8:30ish
June 12: Send an email asking when edited pics will be ready.
Still waiting on a reply.
I'm not trying to bother the dude but I'd really like my pictures. I totally understand setbacks happen especially since his equipment was stolen but give me updates? Is it common for it to take this long to receive professional photos?

No, it shouldn't take that long. Only reasons I can think of is if dude has a shytload of clients and is always going through editing images and covering photoshoots/events... the other reason? Dude is either lazy as fukk or just doesn't feel like doing the shyt.
Also... I hate when people give an excuse like that.
What equipment was stolen? His laptop? His camera with the SD card inside of it? idk
Sounds like something someone would say who's trying to buy some time.
I've turned around much more work in far less time than that.

Said his iPad and phone were stolen which caused him to get locked out of his accounts (needed 2 step verification for Dropbox).
Not sure if he really is that busy, because I see he's active on his personal ig (told me to follow him) flirting with women and shyt and posting new photos he's taken. Like, come on dude. If I had photoshop, I'd probably just dodownload the raw images and edited them myself.
If we're talking wedding photos, then yeah. But if you just got like headshots or something, it shouldn't take long at all. If he has a camera where he can transfer pictures to his phone, he can do basic edits in Lightroom mobile. If that's not the case, it shouldn't take more than a week. Two at the max if he's busy. This timeline though is totally unacceptable.

Would that lens be great for filming short films?

I need help brehs. I have a a6500 with a 18-105 lens. My filming room is properly lighted with ring lights and side lights. Now my wife and i film videos and i dont understand, but when she is on there by herself , the light balance and image is properly lighted but when i am on screen with her, the image(video) gets dark can you tell me what the issue could be? Does aperture have anything to do with it?
