Thinking of switching Nikon to Sony. What lenses?


Hi there!

I've been thinking of switching my Nikon gear for Sony because of the EVF and stabilization.

My current Nikon gear consists of the following lenses:

Nikon 20/1.8 G
Nikon 28/1.8 G
Sigma 35/1.4 ART
Sigma 50/1.4 ART
Nikon 85/1.8G
Nikon 70-200/2.8G VR2

And now I would like to get something similar to Sony (maybe 70-200 is not required).

The number one thing I want to have is reliability. I don't want to attend in any lottery regarding getting bad copies.

Any suggestions for the lenses? It seems that nobody has anything bad to say about Batis 85/1.8, so I'm probably getting that. But what other lenses you would suggest?

28/2 looks like an interesting lens but I haven't been able to find that much user experiences with it. One option could be just to buy Batis 25/2 and crop photos a bit.

I've read that the 35/1.4 GM is troubled with a quality control issues so that one is not for me. Also the 35/2.8 seems highly overpriced for 2.8 lens.

Some reviews are saying that 55/1.8 is a nice lens but others complain it to be overpriced and there seems to be some onion ring bokeh as well.

What are your opinions?

I do mainly portrait and wedding photography.

Thank you in advance!
