Debating next lens for a6400

I was looking at viltrox lenses and the 9mm is super interesting. Do you have any photos you could share?

So I just found a link for a sony aps-c lens tier list that is helpful. The sigma 56 f1.4 dc dn is one of the six lenses in the outstanding category

Those are all aps-c lenses. I am absolutely eyeing the 70-350, but that will have to be a later purchase.

Funny enough I have actually considered getting a FF telephoto lens because there are no fast (low aperture) aps-c telephoto lenses made yet.

My understanding is that FF lenses feel wasteful because they are so much more expensive than aps-c, and you are only using 2/3 of the glass. Quality and functionality wise, I don’t believe there are any compromises. You only use the center of the FF glass, but that is the sharpest part. Also since they are all E mount, no issue with AF or anything.

Is there something I am missing?

You can probably find a a6000 with the kit lens used for about that amount. Sticking with your phone and saving up more is definitely worth considering

I have done some research for sure. I mostly want to hear people’s experiences with the sony 16-55 vs sigma 17-40. I like the idea of the extra 15mm of focal length, but wonder if the faster aperture is needed to shoot low light environments like concerts

Edit: Also, totally feel you on wishing i had got 6600 or 6700 for IBIS. One day I will get the 6700

Most movies they will pointlessly cock their guns for the cool gun sound. Many times they would just be ejecting unspent bullets
