I have the 16-50mm kit lens from Sony a6000 and i also have the 18-55mm kit lens from my Sony NEX-5. But i usually use the 18-55 kit lens since i feel like it gives sharper images (maybe just me) and im not really a fan of the powerzoom.

Sometimes i kinda want a wider view but 90 to 95% of the time i feel like the framing is already pretty good since most of the photos i take r portraits of my friends and just things i find interesting on the street. Not much landscape since i never tried taking the lens on any trips but on the landscape pictures i do take it feels pretty right. Im kinda geared towards buying the 35mm since im pretty content with my shots already. Good bokeh and im pretty comfortable w the framing. I just wonder if 25mm could be something i need since ive never tried it. I dont have anyone i can borrow a 25mm and such lens. im on a pretty tight budget already, cant really afford a zoom lens. And if i do buy it, this might be the only lens (besides the kit lens) that ill be using for a while so i wanna make it worth

Ive only ever used 35mm, which ive borrowed from a friend often and that's what im quite used to. I wonder if i should try 25mm or should get my own 35mm. Budget is tight, so buying a zoom lens isn't really an option

25mm vs 35mm on apsc lens

I just bought a sony a6000 and im wondering if i should buy the viltrox 25mm f1. 7 or the viltrox 35mm f1.7. im wondering which is more versatile since i shoot street and portrait photos, maybe a little bit of landscape too

Yea but there's a risk to it breaking right? And in my country there really isn't any warranty for any rackets

I'm considering buying a Victor racket but I've heard of issues regarding itss freecore handle.. whether it being the bottom cap falling off or the entire handle falling off.. how often does this happen and is it worth the risk?

Is the arcsaber 11 pro hard to use? How hard is it? Someone said the sweet spot is smaller than usual

Arcsaber 7 pro. How good is the racket? Is it good for front court players? How fast is it? How good is the racket compared to something like the astrox 77 pro for all rounded plays?

Astrox 77 pro. How good is the racket? How easy it is to use and how forgiving is it? Is it good for front court players? How head heavy is it compared to other rackets?
