p.2 #1 · p.2 #1 · Just 5!

I'm down to 5 lenses right now for my A1-

Viltrox 16mm f/1.8
Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM
24-70mm f/2.8 GM II
70-200mm f/2.8 GM II
200-600 G + 1.4X

I sold my 24-70 and replaced it with a 20-70, but regrettered it and picked up another 24-70 GM II. I also replaced my 20 G with the Viltrox 16mm. With a 1.4X this covers 16-840mm and about anything I would want to shoot.

Why Viltrox instead of 20G?

Sold the 20G and decided to go for something a bit wider to compliment the 24-70. I haven’t had a chance to use the Viltrox much but so far I’m very impressed with it.

the upcoming 16-35GM II may replace the 12-24GM due to size/weight, but I'd need to shoot with it first to see.

I’m finally in a place where I have all I will ever need with ZERO desire for any more lenses. I have the 20G and 35GM as well, but these five can do way more than I’ll ever need.

These are my current 7 lenses... I used to have many more, and multiple systems, but whittled down to about a half dozen in last couple of years.

Sony PZ 16-35/4
Sony 20/1.8
35GM
40/2.5
24-70 GM II
TTArtisan 50/1.4 ASPH
Tamron 70-180/2.8

I'd do this to get to 5 (sell 20G and TT Artisan 50/1.4)

Sony PZ 16-35/4
35GM
40/2.5
24-70 GM II
Tamron 70-180/2.8

My common landscape setup:
16-35/4PZ and Tamron 50-400mm
My common portrait setup:
20/1.8G (also used for nightscapes), 55/1.8ZA and 85/1.4GM.

It fits five lens limit. I have few more but I use them rarely.

I have two other legacy macro lenses that I haven't bothered selling, the APO Lanthar makes them redundant.

It is better and wider.

Sony 70-200 GM ii

The rest of my lens kit has been highly volatile.
70-200 GM ii is the only one that I absolutely love and would take on every trip.

I already have my kit that consist of 4 lenses and am not looking to add anything. Irregardless this is my kit

Sony 14 gm
Sony 24 gm
Sony 20-70 g
Sony 70-200 gm ii + 1.4 tc

If I were to add a 5th lens it would be the 90mm macro but I feel the zooms cover what I need for macro.

35 Lux Pre-ASPH
50 Noct

I could go without a 5th, or slot in several. But I could get by on these 4. Which means I should sell about 10k in stuff 😬

For #5, I’ll throw in a 70-200 of some variety.
