BEST Sony Lenses For Beginners (2024 Buyers Guide)

These are my top 10 Sony lenses for beginners! A lot of these are under $200, and actually perform really well for the money. I have loved using all of these lenses over the last 6 years as I moved to shooting on Sony mirrorless systems, and this should launch any beginner on the right path to select an affordable lens that they can use for years to come.

    R4 is more a full frame stills camera..... The FX30 is an APSC camera that is part of Sonys cinema line. What you should be comparing the FX30 to is the A7S3 or FX3.

    First of all I have to say that I loooove your content and I enjoy watching your videos! Could you please make some videos about Sony dslr cameras? Is there any good dslr that can be compared to Sony nex series, both in terms of price and image quality? I have made a quick research and I found some good cameras (according to my non professional opinion), like: Sony a55 Sony a35 Sony a65 Sony a77 (the most interesting to me) Sony a57 Sony a37 Sony a58 Sony a77 II Sony a68 I hope that one of these cameras have enough predispositions to be opponent to incredible Sony nex series! And also I hope that you would make something about this topic! Thank you in advance!

    Sony 20mm f1.8 - best budget wide angle prime - used $600-700 vs. new $900 / Pros: built quality, small, lightweight, very minimal distortion 👍 Sony 35mm f1.8 - best travel/street photography and video lens - used $500-600 vs. new $750 / Pros: small, lightweight, no focus breathing at all 👍 Sony 85mm f1.8 - best portrait/street photography lens - used $400-500 vs. new $600 / Pros: small, lightweight, sharp 👍 Sony GM I. 16-35mm f2.8 - most versatile lens - used $1500-1600 vs. new $2000 / Pros: no focus breathing, sharp, on A7IV at 4k60fps you could utilize it as a 24-52.5mm video lens 👍 Tamron 70-180 f2.8 G I. - best budget travel/landscape telephoto lens - used $750-850 vs. new $1200 / Pros: lightweight, small, minimum focus distance, super sharp 👍

    Hi Im new to the world of photography, sorry if question is dumb, Regarding all this lenses, can any of these lenses fit any Sony camera? Or certain lenses are made for certain type of cameras? Thank you

    Hi there! Any of these will work with any Sony E mount camera. There are some Sony A mount cameras, but they are pretty uncommon to come across. Most consumer cameras from Sony use this lens mount, every single Sony camera I have uses this lens mount as well. So yes, practically speaking this is the only lens mount that you’ll find for you Sony cameras in 2024

    Looking for cheapest copies is often counter productive as they are more likely have optical misalignment or other issues.

    Maybe, but maybe not. A lot of people don’t have $1-2K to invest in a lens right away. Certainly could be better for someone to pick up a $200 lens to get started creating content and then upgrade later.

    Lots of the sigma primes are great. Many of them are more expensive than these lenses. Was trying to keep the price down for beginners and give a good spread.
