From what I've seen, you need a native lens to do AFC in photo AND video, and you're going to want to do some video too.
Sorry, didn't understand the native part? You mean only Sony lenses can do AFC in photo on Sony bodies?
Native, meaning Sony OEM lenses, as opposed to third party lenses like Sigma ones. Sony lenses are reliable in AF-C because Sony made them and knows exactly how to make them work with the bodies. All of the Sony lenses I've used are also smooth and silent in video AF. The Sigma DSLR lenses I've used are too loud for video.
The Sony 20mm 1.8, 24mm 1.4, 35mm 1.4, 35mm 1.8, and 35mm 2.8 are all competent options for an indoor environmental portrait lens although the angle of the 20mm is probably too wide. Larger aperture lenses are very helpful indoors for their light gathering ability and the shallow depth of field look but they tend to be pricier.
