    Now I know you also use Sony APSC cameras so I'm really looking forward to a similar video for those. Of course, you could put any of these lenses on a Sony APSC and they should work fine - just the 1.5x factor on the focal length. That would mean with your lens no. 5 you would have a field of view equivalent to a 300mm lens when used on APSC.

    Lens choices is a personal choice.
    For me as hybrid these are my lens line-up
    16-35mm f2.8 GMii
    35mm f1.4 GM
    85mm f1.4 GMii
    With that range of focal i can cover all i needed without stressing so much money on my pocket.
    And BTW I am also using 90mm f2.8 OSS Macro most of my Food and Product shoot.

    9:56 My country use metric system but to be honest, it's easy to use metric for weight but not for distance or length. For example, I can easily tell if something is 'almost a kilogram' but it's actually hard to tell if something is '45cm from me'. Will be easier to say, 'something is 2 feet from me'.
    Short distance I prefer imperial. Long distance I prefer metric.

    @kingghidorah8106 День назад

    great video, with true reviews instead of hyping up a product without giving it a run for it's caveats. But you pointed out these are "affordable", well none of them seems very affordable if anything unless you're talking to someone whose three month income is enough to bank them a 600mm f4 lens without going broke.
    My future plans are just keeping the Minolta 50mm 1.7 and Minolta 1.4 85mmG because they have crazy micro contrast and 3d pop (common with DSLR lenses, since they're further away the light of far away out of focus is dimmer by default, inverse square root related) and get a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 II, a 70-200 from sigma too (the one that looks like a GM II) and a Sony 200-600.
    Of all these three I plan about, the Sigma 70-200 seems to be the most affordable one, it is better built than the GM ii and costs 1000 bucks less while delivering the same performance, other than limiting to 15fps if you're using an A9/A1 family which, all things considered, nobody who uses an A9 or an A1 will use third party lenses.

But it weighs 540 grams, so when I was choosing, I looked at the Sigma, but its weight is 840 grams, the choice fell on the lighter Tamron.
