Question by Puppers: What kind of standard lens should I purchase for my Sony a300 DSLR?
The standard lens that came with my Sony a300 stopped working… something with the threads on the lens that connects it to the body. I already have a SONY 75-300 telephoto and a SONY 50 mm lens. Is there a generic brands of lens I can buy to replace that standard zoom lens (I believe it was 18-70mm f3.5-5.6) Any suggestions/thoughts on brands and mm details would be helpful. Thank you so very much!

try gently wiping the contacts on the back of the lens. if they get dirty they won’t work. i would look into Rokinon brand lenses. they are manual focus but are tack sharp.

It was probably the Sony 18-55mm – just buy the same lens again as a replacement.
Or if you want something faster, get the 16-50mm f2.8 lens.
