I primarily shoot Nikon for wildlife, but I have a small Fuji setup for street and travel photography. I'm contemplating moving to Sony for the street/travel setup to get full frame and improved autofocus. Can someone suggest the equivalent Sony package to my Fuji collection? (I shoot sometimes in conditions that benefit from weather sealing.)
X-T5
18mm 1.4 (interior architecture and landscape, + sharp)
23mm 2.8 (light and unobtrusive for street work)
23mm 1.4 (interior architecture and landscape, + sharp)
35mm 2 (light and unobtrusive for street work)
56 1.2 (low light, + sharp)
All good choices, depending on budget, low light needs and size/weight considerations:
A7v, A7iv, A7C or A7Cii
Sony 24/1.4 GM or Samyang 24/1.8 or Sigma 24/2
Sony 35/2.8 ZA or Samyang 35/2.8 or Samyang 35/1.8
Sony 35/1.4 GM or Sigma 35/2
Viltrox 50/2 Air or Samyang 45/1.8
Sony 85/1.4 GM II, or Sigma 85/1.4 or Sony 85/1.8 or 85/1.8 Batis or Viltrox 85/2 EVO
*** for weather sealing, choose the higher price options.
This is a pretty great start. Camera body, you just have to get them in hand and see which one you like. Lenses:
18/1.4 - Sony 24/1.4 - wider than the 18 on Fuji, but also an equivalent stop faster. Unmatched bokeh for a 24. Also consider the Sigma 24/2. Bonus - if you want some mischievous fun, ask the forum why there isn't a fast Sony 28mm...
23/2.8 - Sony Zeiss 35/2.8. Really small, really light, really sharp - very underrated lens for Sony. One of the originals. Also a stop faster
23/1.4 - Sony 35GM - stop faster, sharp everywhere at all apertures, excellent bokeh. Also consider the Sigma 35/2.
35/2 - Sony 50/2.5, Sony Zeiss 55/1.8, Sigma 50/2, Sigma 45/2.8 - The 45/2.8 is the most interesting lens of the bunch in terms of rendering, the others are all just excellent, well behaved lenses. The new Viltrox Air 50/2 is getting some good press.
56/1.2 - Sony 85/1.4GM, Sigma 85/1.4 - both faster. There are new third portion options that are all pretty good too, from Viltrox, Sirui, Meike, etc.
There are lots of options, Sony or otherwise, in pretty much every focal length. I really like the build of the Sigma i series; their Art lenses are great too. The new Viltrox lenses are also over achievers.
