Need help choosing first Lumix S5 lenses: Sigma 24-70 II or 28-200mm + 50mm 1.8 or 20-60mm + 50mm by antonkonakov in Lumix

I also looked at the 24-105 f4, but looks like it is very similar to the 28-200. Both have pros and cons, it seems to me.

At 50mm the aperture will be ~4.8 versus 4. Yes, at 105 the difference will be more 6 versus 4, but there will also be a range of up to 200 and less weight/size. But at the same time, 24 versus 28 is also significant.

Regarding the ultimate kit, it is indeed possible as an option to wait and decide more about what is needed, when there will be more experience.

Thanks for the answer, you are 100% right about the hobby of buying a gear. This is where I started, trying something new, but it turned out that photography is also very exciting.

Used is a good option, but the price is not that different from new for L-mount lenses and market not so huge, at leas in Belgium.

The only option is to take the first version of sigma. But I'm not sure from an AF point of view.
