I currently own 3 sony prime lenses:
24 GM 1.4
50 Zeiss planar 1.4
85 GM 1.4
The image quality and apperture i love and am very happy with - however not having zooms for landscape photography is becoming limiting.
I now want to start building out some zoom lenses to compliment (not replace) my primes.
The obvious choice are going to be:
Wide length: 16-35 GM
Long length: 70-200 GM
Middle: 24-105 or 24-70 GM
Can anyone offer any advice on the above and what their ideal choices would be ?
Don't forget you already have two zooms. One on the end of each leg.
Another consideration; more MPixels might be an option rather than switching to zoom lenses. Personally I love my primes at the shorter end and limit my zooms to the long end.
If you want to go Zoom don't forget the 70-200Gf4 it's a great lens and way lighter and smaller than the 70-200GM. If you'r walking in and out of those landscape locations it makes a big difference.
unfortunately , if u r standing on a bridge, or bldg; or u r shooting a quickly passing subject, the legs are no help. Primes can be fun, but I believe they are vastly over-rated, esp in the modern era of excellent zooms w/ software corrections. As a traveler, i've found primes to be largely for masochists, he he
