Morning all,
I was originally shooting on a Nikon D500 for my video projects, but the lack of auto focus support made it risky for tracking objects.
To combat this I bought a Sony A6500 teamed with the power zoom Sony 18-105mm F4. It has been doing fine and has very much paid itself back however, it has just let me down. The lens is good but it doesn't have that depth that my Nikon D500 has with the Sigma 17-50 F2.8. Even at F4, this lens provides depth and it doesn't feel like a handy cam has shot it.
Sony is not my main shooting platform and would like a bit of advice on some lenses.
I require it to:
Cost sub-£1000 new or secondhand
Have auto focus capability as I am a ware not all Sony lenses can?
Ideally VR but not a deal breaker
Be zoom upto 100mm
Better for video as I do not use this camera for photos.
Currently I am looking at:
Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E
Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Lens for Sony E
Any other recommendations?
