Re: Starter kit Lenses

Getting back to lens choice for a moment...

Do you really expect that you would need something as wide as the 14mm lens you mentioned?

14mm is what we would call UFWA lens (you can probably uess what the F stands for).

I shoot a lot of real estate and thus need a wide angle lens, but even 16mm is still ridiculously wide.

If I were using an a7 IV and expected to be shooting at 30fps, then I would probably get something like either a 24-105 f/4 plus a faster 50mm or 35mm prime, or get something like you mentioned with the pair of f/2.8 Tamron zoom lenses.

If you forsee shooting at 4K 60fps, that throws a wrench in to the works as the a7 IV shoots in aps-c crop mode when shooting 4K 60, so you will probably need wider lenses than the ones you mentioned.
