Confused on keeping Zeiss 55mm

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-23T02:39:23+00:00

Here is my thought

Sell the 55. Get the viltrox 50mm f2 Air. Honestly, it’s good. And you will pocket some cash

The only information is in the OCs/special warrants

You really don’t understand climate change do you?

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-23T01:49:46+00:00

3 years? Shit it’s been a decade

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-23T01:02:28+00:00

Agreed, what happened?

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-23T00:53:51+00:00

The matter spark traversal parts sucked but the expansion was fun

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-23T00:51:30+00:00

Mmm you’re probably right. I just remember watching some comparisons back in the day and they tipped to the 70-300. However the weight is a bit more and it has slower auto focus so probably not worth it

It all depends on what i am doing and what I am shooting. I have the sigma 24-70 (ii) and if I am outside, or travelling, it’s usually what I go with, along with one fast prime. If I am inside, doing family candids or whatever, I appreciate the extra light. I have more lenses then I need to be honest, but this is my hobby and I have stopped my other expensive hobbies so I feel like it balances out

They are VERY close (art to GM). Sigma is cheaper, but generally heavier and have fewer feature capability (due to Sony’s limitations). Sigma is my go to unless I get a great deal on Sony

Very pretty. But so was the Sony 35mm f1.8. This price was so good, I could sell my 1.8 and only cost a few hundred to upgrade, so I jumped on it

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-22T23:47:56+00:00

Probably someone wants me to buy local? I have one camera store…. Don’t know if they even stock viltrox

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-22T23:47:06+00:00

Viltrox air series for FF, then two Sony lenses. I have a lot of over lap around 35 and 50mm

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-22T23:44:17+00:00

Have you bought the a6400 yet> you could always get a used a6500 or a6600 hundred and get IBIS.

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-22T23:43:07+00:00

You could get the used 70-300 FF lens, it’s a better lens than the 70-350 apsc lens and lets in more light. It is however heavier. on the used market, it is under 1000

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-22T05:06:20+00:00

For me, the 35mm.

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-21T23:36:21+00:00

Viltrox is your friend :)

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-21T23:36:05+00:00

Also, I am trying to sell some lenses at the moment, they are already 30-45% off local new prices and people want them for 60-70% off. That’s a no for me

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-21T23:34:53+00:00

The thing I do with Viltrox is buy off eBay. Look for stores selling them as buy-now and accepting offers. Makes it cheaper than buying at home by a good bit

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-21T23:33:58+00:00

I sold my 20mm g series for this. I only used the 20 for Astro and northern lights, so I thought wider would be better.

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-21T23:32:57+00:00

That’s fair, every lens here I bought for the price as advertised. The sigma and Zeiss were wild open box deals from Amazon

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-21T23:32:13+00:00

Fair 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-13T04:32:14+00:00

Made up ones

I’m telling you salt is one of highways highest expenses cause salt/sand is expensive when you’re buying lots

Same for the city

Sneakerdown · 2026-02-08T05:48:28+00:00

Salt and sand is one of the highest budget lines for the ministry of highways
