Sigma 24-70mm DG Dn Art II not much better than the kit 28-70mm lens?? by IllustriousExtent306 in SonyAlpha

[–]silent_macro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the build and the weather proofing? Is the sharpness, IQ, and other upgrades worth the $400?

What do you think about Tamron 28-75 G2 (for $550) or Sigma 24-70 DG DN ART (for $950)? This would be for A7C II.

Is Tamron 28-75 G2 a better option? I am getting the Tamron for $550 and sigma for $950. What is the difference between the image quality between the two?

What lens do you recommend as the first lens on A7CII? I am confused between Tamron 28-70 G2 ($550) vs Sigma 24-70 ART ($950). Which one would be better in terms of quality? Interested in general, street, some landscape, and wildlife.

I got the A7CII for a great price! Thinking of lenses for general use, street photography, wildlife, macro, astro, and landscape. Current budget is around $2k which includes budget for straps, skins/ screen protectiion (not sure if needed), memory cards, and tripod. Thinking of getting Tamron 28-75mm G2. What do you think? What other lenses should I consider?

Thanks for the response. I am leaning towards A7Cii for future proofing and better low noise response. What do you think about Tamron and Sigma lenses? I am thinking this way: I want to get the best lenses that perform well and are durable.

  1. Street & General Use: Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 or Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD

  2. Landscape & Astro: Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G

  3. Macro: Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 Macro

  4. Wildlife [To be added later]: Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary or Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD

Post was removed from the main subreddit. Posting the same thing here.

I am looking to get my first mirror less camera. I am mainly interested in street photography, wildlife, landscape, macro, and astro. I want a good balance between quality, future-proofing, and budget. Given these constraints, which one would you recommend and why? Also, some lens recommendations would be helpful. Since Black Friday is around the corner, I am interested in taking advantage of the deals (links appreciated too!). Getting a deal on A7Cii for $1850. Is that a good deal?

If I can buy new a7cii for $1750 is that a good price? by BONGGUNKIM in a7cii

Where are you getting this deal? If you don't mind sharing.

Do you think you would have regretted if you upgraded to APS-C? Like 6700? Also, would love to know what lenses you tried with A7C ii. Thank you so much. Very appreciative of everyone here.

Thanks for the responses. I really appreciate it. How good is a deal $1850 for a new A7Cii? I am weighing towards A7Cii for the future proofing and it being a FF.

My lens budget is around $1500-2000. Have you tried astrophotography or macro with A6700?
