![]() ![]() Some posters have said theirs is pretty good and I've seen some photos that appear to show that their copy is better than mine was. ![]() The IQ is probably fine for printing up to say 5x7 or using on social media. But what good is a zoom that needs to be limited to its mid range and f8, anyway? The lens is known to be best in the middle of its zoom range and around f8. Furthermore in a lot of cases even the center wasn't all that sharp. This is my priority order, albeit that I returned my 16-70.įor many situations (not indoors), the 16-50 will do in a snap. Size and Speed: 16-70/4 (only one starting at 16mm).I have used this 16-50 kit lens extensively on an A5100, the system is very small, and easily beats out my cell phone camera.ĭoes it keep up with FF and GM lenses? Not so much.īut cell phones are pure daytime only, this 16-50 kit lens is good through early twilight.įor an A6x00 camera, already being larger in body size, I would pick up a different zoom lens: If the kit lens on the A6400 produces great results I may get the A6400 and keep my GX85 and lenses. I'm a bit concerned as the OSS (no IBIS on the A6400) Sony e mount lenses seem pretty pricey, slow, heavy and large. Their Batis lineup, highlighted by this 85mm F/1.8, are stellar optical performers, and have been very popular among current Sony A7 series shooters.As per another thread of mine, I'm considering getting the A6400 coming from a Panasonic GX85.Ĭonsidering that I have the wonderful panny 15mm and 42.5mm f1.7 lenses, is the 16-50mm kit lens that comes with A6400 good enough as an all round lens mainly for outdoor family/travel useage? If you are looking for third-party lenses for Sony’s FE system, Zeiss is where it’s at right now as far as prime lenses go. Its a great lens, you just need to get over the sticker shock a little before you can really enjoy it. Sony’s 70-200mm F/4 is honestly pretty expensive for an F/4 lens, but their F/2.8 version is not any cheaper, so if you want a 70-200mm lens this is your best option if you can live without F/2.8. The lens is sharp, focuses great with the A7 series cameras, and makes a lot of sense for landscape and architecture photographers. It is a constant aperture F/4, which honestly, with the dynamic range and high ISO performance of these Sony cameras, is plenty good in low light for many situations. This lens is sharp, fairly fast, and very compact, helping you to keep that small form factor that likely attracted you to the Sony system in the first place. It may not be as affordable as the 50mm F/1.8, but Sony’s 35mm F/2.8 is a great option to upgrade to after your kit lens. This new FE 50mm F/1.8 is the perfect companion for any A7 series full frame Sony kit. Their 55mm F/1.8 Zeiss co-branded lens was a brilliantly sharp lens but at $1,000 it is/was a hard sell as a kit lens upgrade. Sony finally has an affordable full frame 50mm lens and it’s the FE 50mm F/1.8. Please note, these are great kit upgrades, not necessarily the best lenses available. ![]() Well, just as we did with Fujifilm and Canon, today we are taking a look at just that for the Sony mirrorless system. Chances are that a lot of you may have picked up a sweet deal on a Sony A7 series camera or kit while those holiday deals were hot, so now you may find yourself wondering about where to go next after your kit lens. ![]()
