As of today, Zeiss 16-70 f/4 and 55-210 f 4.5. Considering an upgrade, on both though the upgrade is pricey and IDK if it will make a visual difference in prints up to 11x14.

18-135 on apsc and 24-105 full frame

[@MichaelWTurner]

I have a 18-105 f4. I mostly shoot video and wanted the constant aperture. I like it a little more than the 18-135 kit but honestly the image quality is almost identical. I was hoping it would be a little sharper, but all in all it isn't bad. I'm liking that super. I'm liking the super zoom you mentioned. Seems pretty good.

[@robertmcdaniel7788]

I only have one for my 6400; the 10-18. For the a7iii; 24-70GM, 16-35 f/4 and 70-200 f/4. Eventually, before I die, I'll get the 100-400 or the 200-600.

[@artistjoh]

The 10-18mm f4 and 18-105mm f4 are particularly interesting for videographer. Sony tech support told me that while they are not technically parfocal, they are designed to communicate with the camera to automatically make continuous adjustments so they behave as if parfocal. Of course the power zoom function is also valuable.

[@unsubscribed857]

Only 3 lenses u need for Sony APSC: The Sigma Triad. 1. Sigma 30mm f1.4 dc dn (45mm full frame equivalent) 2. Sigma 16mm f1.4 dc dn 3. Sigma 56mm f1.4 dc dn (85mm full frame equivalent) I'd choose Sony 18-105mm f4 as well if you need a versatile native lens.

[@robertmcdaniel7788]

@@MPD90 I use the a7iii with the 24-70, almost like my main combination (which is kinda of weird since I prefer primes). The a6400 is so darn small and easy to pack/carry. I just got back from Morocco and carried both cameras. The alleys were pretty tight and the 10-18mm was perfect. Plus I wanted to be inconspicuous, not flashing around the big ass 24-70 and a7iii. Most of the natives really don't like having their photos taken. Nor did I want to change lenses in that sort of environment. So having both cameras with the lenses, it worked out fine. When I went to Iceland, I took just the a7iii with the 24-70. I may have taken my 85mm, too. I am still getting accustomed to both cameras and the choices of lenses available. Hope that helps.

[@UrbanGardenbyRithy]

I do agree, a6400 + 10-18mm seems like a compact point and shoot camera. Even if the lense is not for portrai shooting, it can get the job done in the crowd without having them to curious about.

Excellent review! But now (early 2021) there is an alternative to the Sony 16-55, in the new Tamron 17-70 f2.8: cheaper than the Sony, longer reach, and image stabilized. Also, I think one thing could be debated about your recommendations: you describe the Sony 70-350 G lens as relatively light and small, and while that is true if you compare it to full frame lenses, you did not mention the obvious comparison, the Sony 55-210. I realize the 55-210 is nowhere near the sharpness of the 70-350, but it is almost half the weight, and super cheap, so it is a great option if someone doesn't need the super long reach of the 70-350, and if their budget is limited.

18-135 is so versatile, and it is small and compact, you can take it everywhere and do so much with that zoom-range. It is also quite sharp. Only downside it is not very usable in low light situations. But your 35/1.8 helps you there, also a great lens. I own them both as well.

Those are nice lenses but of course you'd agree it depends on the end application. In my case I take primarily portraits and events. The focal range I use most on my aps-c cameras fall in the 30mm to 85mm (127 in 35mm) range. My most wide angle is 16mm which I find suits my needs well and I have no use for wider. For portraits and indoor events I use primes with f1.4 or f1.8 which is outside the realm of most zooms. I do use zooms for vacation and walk-around lenses but not for my best work.

[@adam_mawz_maas]

The 10-18 badly needs either a 50% price cut, a revamp or both. It's wildly too much money for the solid but unexceptional performance. Quite frankly, it doesn't stand up well to pretty much every other UWA zoom for crop sensor in the similar price range (like Fuji's decidedly better 10-24/4 OIS), its one redeeming quality is the AF, which is very good for video. It would be a good value at $400USD. Sony's FE 70-300G suffers from the same issues, performance of a $400 lens for $800 more than that. Son's APS-C line is very weak at the wide end, only the wide range of available 3rd party lenses rescues it. They've filled out a bunch of options on the long end, but only offer a single lens wider than 16mm (Fuji is the opposite, lots of wider options, but one lens longer than 230mm)

2 Years later, i would switch the Sony 16-55 F2.8for the Tamron 17-70 F2.8to get a little bit more Telerange and save some money. And the Sony 10-18 F4 i would switch for the Tamron 11-20 F2.8. A bit cheaper and more aperture even if you loose 1 mm wide angle. But at the time you did this videeo your choice made sense. The Sony 70-350 is the best Tele lens for the APSC cameras in my opinion, wouldnt change that.

[@saifaldin_]

I currently have almost the exact setup. Tamron 11-20 (it’s not perfect, but still the best wide angle zoom option to date IMO) Sony 16-55g (bought used, the price is justified) it was between this and the Sigma for me, I ruled out the Tamron early. Sony 70-350 (also bought used) what a great lens, this one.. I also have the Sigma 56 l. How can one resist? 😅

[@schnubbel76]

@@saifaldin_ Almost same setup as mine, only i chose Tamron over Sony zoom. Sigma 56 is a must have. Even if i dont use it that much. Couldnt resist, its too good.

[@braveandkind6136]

Are they good for a 7iii?

Thanks for the recommendation, I am now using Sigma 18-50 as always.

[@damasovi_travels1244]

very nice review!!! not even a sony oenwer BUT I like the focus you have! thanks for the reviews!

[@StefanMalloch]

Thanks for watching!

[@MacAlex24]

Will they work as well on a 5100?

[@StefanMalloch]

They will be fine but limited by your cameras AF.

[@ez1ollie]

Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 & Tamron 70-180 f/2.8. The 70-180 is a full frame lens, but I don't think there are any 70-200ish lenses for Sony APSC that are fast. I also have the Sigma trio and with this most of my needs are met, and on the occasion that I need a super telephoto I can rent something like the Sigma 60-600 for a weekend.

[@janibalogh6198]

Sony 2.8 16-55 + Sony 5100 is ok? Or 6100 is much better?

[@StefanMalloch]

6100 is going to be a big step up bud

Salve Filippo a seguito di ernia disco L2-L3 anno scorso, attualmente evito squat , leg press e hack squat x evitare fastidi seguenti.

[@lmball]

I'll skip the 16-55 cos of less useful for me, but 18-135 is just for in case. May get the 70-350 to replace the 18-135&200-600 combination in future if can't stand the weight anymore.... My travel combination is 10-18 & 18-135 & 200-600.

Great review. Would the 70-350 compliment my A6000?

[@GravityBunk]

Definitely.

[@Shoots.Co.]

I just picked an a6300 today I do automotive photography and I'm open minded to any prime lens recommendations

[@StefanMalloch]

Check out my Sigma F1.4 Series reviews. Great lenses!

[@05TheGhost]

I have the 30mm f1.4 from sigma. Its a killer. And the 18-105 f4 from Sony. Have both the a6300 which I'm about to sell and the a6600. Great combo.

[@danteedee8204]

I have four, Samyang 12mm AF, Tamron 17 to 70mm f2.8, Sigma 30mm f1.4 and the Tamron 18 to 300mm.

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

How about what lense should you buy when first buying the Sony a6400? Thinking of getting the camera for my 16 year old daughter to get started in photography. Can't afford an $800 to $1,200 to start off.

[@StefanMalloch]

I would recommend a basic zoom to start. 18-105 or 18-135. The kit lens will be fine as well while learning. Hope that helps

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

The current package options on Amazon are: 16-50mm for $998? 18-105mm for $1,546? 18-135mm for $1,298? 35mm for $1,371? Sounds like the 18-135mm is the happy medium. $1,546 is a bit too expensive.

[@bluerainbug]

2:02 correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those 2 images swapped around?

[@osvaldoverduzco3900]

I considered the Sony SEL 16-55 but resisted and I am glad I did. I now own both the Tamron 16-70 f/2.8 and Sigma 18-50 f/2.8. I use the Tamron on one camera for stills and the sigma on another camera with a gimbal for video. I also own the 70-350. These are the three lenses I now use almost exclusively. I also purchased the Tamron 11-20 f/2.8 to cover a wider range.

[@amsenthil5]

Hi, Please let me know, is the tamron not better than sigma for videos? due to focal length range or any particular issue?

[@NickL0VIN]

Currently just the a7 III - TAMMY 17-28mm + 28-75mm. I'm gonna add the 28-200mm as my telephoto.

[@rvg1997]

These are the 3 APS-C lenses that I use on my A6500 and A7RIV. 1. 10-18mm f/4 2. 16-50mm f/2.8 DT A-mount 3. 18-135mm 4. 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3

[@hoangcuongceo]

Hi, I'm considering to buy an A7RIV and use those aps-c lenses (with crop mode) when traveling for the sake of light weight. Could you estimate how better (in terms of image quality) this combination is compared to the combination of A6500 with those lenses? Thanks!

[@rvg1997]

@@hoangcuongceo The images look better coming from the A7RIV. You also have better AF. You can also shoot these lenses in FF and then crop.

[@hoangcuongceo]

@@rvg1997 Thanks!

[@TheBornBoy]

i'm new to this... what does is mean "APS-C lens" doesn't it have the same mount with the full frame Sony's? (A7,A9) Are those lens made specific for APS-C ? (A6xxx) I understood the "crop factor", but other than that, is there any other differences ? is there a good, "affordable" lens for A6400 ? (Better than the kit lens)

[@rarknivesandleatherwork8045]

I went a similar path just with the cheaper 18-105 f4.

Hi,thanks for the review.I love the photos you've shown in the video. My three favouite Sony Aps lenses are:the Sony 10-18 mm f/4;the Sony Zeiss 16-70 mm f/4: and the Sony 35 mm f/1.8. Bye!

[@MH-cq3zy]

On my A6100 I have the 10-18, 16-70 (mine is not decentred) and the 70-350. The 16-70 I prefer over the 18-105 because of the size.

[@ausmartin1]

Great review in my need 16 to 350 Apsc with the last x2 is amazing. Getting rid of my primes as I won't carry them, no need as they are the best cross section of performance for travel.

[@Pmason718]

I just picked up the a6400 and it came with the 18-135 lens was is your thought on this lens? Is there a reason you left it out?

[@PhotoTrekr]

I've been shooting a long time and have a full frame system. But, lately I thought I would pick up a new camera just for fun. I thought about getting a Fuji X-T2 and a standard zoom. But, since I shoot Sony cameras and lenses, I decided to get the a6600, 16-55 G, and 70-350mm G. Maybe the 10-18mm wide angle zoom that I tried is a bad copy, but I cannot recommend that lens. I'll use this system when I don't want to take my full frame system. I agree, this is a great system for beginners. If you can't afford to buy the whole system, buy the body and the 16-55mm G and add the 70-350mm G when you can.

[@Xyronium]

Where is 18-105mm f4 G???

if your budget is there, get the tamrob 17-70mm

[@oliverpolden]

I would like the SEL1018. I have an SEL18200LE which is fairly good and versatile with it's large range. Those would make a great pair I think. I also have the 20mm that I rarely use unless I want something compact (or to put it on my drone) and I have the SEL35F18 which is great for low light with its F1.8. The SEL1670Z would be really nice with its constant aperture but then that's doubling up on focal lengths.

[@paulvanderhaegen761]

i plan to buy the 6600 or maybe the 6700 when/if it came next year as lenses going i would choose the Tamron 17/70 2.8 and the adapter to use my canon/sigma ef/efs lenses.

Up to you 😜 How often do you need F1.4? 16-55mm is F2.8 ya but very sharp and covers all 3.

[@genghis2510]

Awhile back I got from eBay a used a6300 with only 20mm 2.8 pancake lens attached. It serves as my small get and go hand holdable live view camera for initial test and preview shoots before engaging my bulky Nikons. I have it with me wherever I go in my travels. But I stuck to the pancake lens and never had any other. For me, it was just right for my needs.
