FYI that 50mm lens is slowest to focus that I've seen in last 15 years. It's super noisy too if you plan to do video with autofocus, hard pass

Agreed, I had that lens, the guy who sold it to me (used) even disclosed that openly - it is really slow to focus, like 1-2 seconds sometimes, and you can indeed hear the motor; it is very quiet, but not silent - I bought the Sigma 56mm f1.4 for 3x the price then resold this lens.

Anyone know if the 85mm F1.8 is also slow-focusing and noisy?
No it's fast and it takes amazing photos

Yeah I was able to get my old edu email forwarded but you're right you have to upload photoid and transcript to show that you're active within last 3 months. Any work-around for this?
No, they got tired of people scamming them with purchased edu emails and decided to actually restrict it to students.

Sign up for a class at a community college, stay enrolled long enough to get the authentication then drop the class before the tuition refund period is up. Or you might find you enjoy the class and want to stay in until completed.

You have to use it in continuous auto focus mode, then it's fine.

Can anyone let me know what the price is for the A6600? My son is a college student, but I didn't want to ask him to sign up to just see the pricing.

The point of these sales are for film/photography students to be able to get relevant gear at a discount while keeping general profits high.
From a money standpoint stricter edu policy means higher average prices since most people can't get the lower price but will buy anyway.

You may be right but at this price range it's not bad.

The 50mm is a standard old school double gauss nifty fifty. If you want something equivalent, you can grab one of the canon's for cheap, and a sigma MC-11 adapter. Works well and you can adapt other lenses that way.

That or just save up for one of the better ones.

Been waiting for the 35mm 1.4 GM to get an EDU discount. I know it's a new lens but any idea how long it typically takes to join the party? The 14mm 1.8 GM is even newer and that one's already got an EDU discount of 10%.

How do educators get the discount? It looks like the verification only works for students.
