They didn’t want people getting up close during this barn-raising, and since I don’t have a telephoto lens for my Sony alpha6000, this is the shot I got this morning. this event might only happen in this community, once in three years. Two weeks and one day ago, the original barn was on fire. This is how it looked at 9 am this morning. I suspect it was finished by the day’s end. The Amish church community got together, and by today the farmer had another barn! For years this was done without the help of the machinery, to lift the rafters etc.

You can experiment with the clear image zoom but I haven’t had much luck with it.

Thanks, Mike! What lens would you suggest for a tele for the alpha6000?

Well the kit lens was too slow so I switched to a 35mm 1.8 prime because long lenses are heavy and expensive. I was at the camera store recently and he told me he had a good fast 3rd party zoom, I think it was Tamron and the autofocus and other features like steady shot all worked with it. I’ll just get closer or use my compact to zoom.
