Just my old 70-200 f4
The rest are my APS-C lenses.
Tamron 28-75 was a great entry lens for me.
The new Sigma one is nice but it's heavy.

You can grab the 50 1.8 for cheap. It isn't particularly sharp and it hunts a lot on low light and is loud, but I've used it with great results before I purchased the 35mm 1.8 (that's on my camera most of the time).

85mm 1.8 is a sharp and great lense, but you're also good going with the samyang/rokinin 1.4 at 85mm and 35mm for the price of the Sony 35mm.

Just look at your lightroom and see what focal lengths you use and pick up any of those options and eat!

35/85 are what I use 99% of the time

you know what i hate

like I'll take a photo with my camera and it looks good even before post processing etc. I'll take a photo of me tripod and countdown out of focus looks horrible, i'll get someone to use my camera and its out of focus as well

This video is 9 years old. With tech obviously gotten better these days, what filters and settings to get this type of quality?
