What's your favorite lens??

[Joey-Austin]

Hello Alpha Family,

What is your favorite lens and do you still own it?

My favorite lens off all time has to be #FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS it's the sharpest and most fun to shot with, I had it back in 2017 with #Alpha 6000 (a6000) and it was a lot of fun, unfortunately it got damaged and had to go with #FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS for more versatile , but hoping to get one in the futur

All of them 🙂 Lately it has been the Sony 12-24mm GM

My favorite is my 50 GM. I adore that lens and it is totally my workhorse lens!

This is super wide, can do some really creative shots with it

This is a beautiful lens, it's definitely on my wish list

135mm f/1.8 GM for me. I love the low light when shooting indoor venues, especially when I'm not allowed to get closer. Also it makes the portraits so sweet (for a lack of better word).

Very lovely lens, but I think it would be hard indoors for small spaces, but great shooting babies so you don't get too close to them lol

I just got a 70-200 F2.8 GM II, and it's been a revelation. I put the 24-105 on my first camera about six months ago and loved it. I took it on my daily walks and enjoyed the versatility of being able to go wide to mild zoom in a quarter turn. I only took it off to use my PZ 16-35 F4 G for occasional landscapes, but mainly for environmental portraits and some video of musicians at recurring community event. 

Here is one of my first shots with the 70-200.

On the beach in the rain yesterday.

And today on a street near that beach

Never used the 24-105 F4 but I had the ziess 24-70 F4 and it’s amazing, 70-200 is definitely a must, for now I have the old F4 but planning to upgrade sometime soon, the Alpha 7RV got all my money lol

I never had problems with small spaces, I don't think about shooting full bodies. It's great for low light too, so indoor events are a breeze with this lens.

I need to pick it up and try it, never used prime lens over 100mm

It's so hard to say, it really depends on the need at the moment.

I really love the new GM2 lenses, the 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8. The 200-600 is awesome. The 135/1.8 is incredible, so many choices!

I agree Sony is not making it easy with all these great lenses, but if you don't have any lenses, and you can get only one, which one will it be?

Probably the 24-70/2.8 GM2, it's very versatile
