Tried that 35-150 f2-2.8 from tamron and it's probably the most versatile lense I've used. I'll probably get rid of the 70-200 and my 28-75
and go with that. :whoo:
It is. I'll keep my other lenses just for multicamera purposes, but for someone switching and starting out fresh with Sony, just get the 35-150 and you have a lot covered from the jump. Being honest tho, I hardly use it wide open at F2.

Everyone got their favs
I hate zoom lenses

Im trying to go to Egypt hopefully this month and I’m only going to bring the 16mm

I used to have mostly primes, now I have a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, prolly pick up the Canon 24-105mm f/4 L and when I get the R5 just rock with the RF 24-105mm f/4 and the RF 100-500mm L. Last few years has had me wanting to cut down on lenses that I have and make my bag smaller. Leaning towards walkaround lenses from here on out.

At the top.
The 135 is my favorite and most used lens (for portraits).


Speaking of make sure you guys keep those lenses protected. I almost had a heart attack when I took the lens cap off.

Just ordered a Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 :yeshrug:
Got pretty much every focal range I could possibly need covered now.
Sigma 18-35
Sigma 50 prime
Sigma 50-100
Sigma 70-200
I'm gonna end up having to buy an RF mount 15-35 2.8 relatively soon to have a wide lens with stabilization since the Komodo doesn't have any IBIS and I do still end up needing to get handheld shots often.
