I would bring the 16-50 and the 50mm. 16-50 would give flexibility for general pic snapping and the 50 would be nice for a portraits in front of a beautiful background.

Rokinon 21mm

I have the HX80 and its a nice camera to have on me, especially when I need the zoom!  If you can snag one for a decent price go ahead. Sometimes I use my phone unless its on a ski lift or above a ...

Enjoyed the last one, I was on Sint Maarten for 16 months and there was the same if not similar yellow bellied bird I would frequently wake up to and have coffee with!

Great set and certainly inspiring for me. Do you have any color profiles or adjustments you like?

Welcome! I enjoy the rokinon 21 as well, it stays on my camera the majority of the time. I like the user experience of using a manual focus lens.

Yeah I have the rokinon 12 and 21 as well and its pretty hard for me to think about picking up the sigma 16mm at the moment.

I would hang tight and see how this new 18-135 pans out. Certainly has my attention as a nice hiking lens.

There is a 1.5x crop factor no matter the lens you put on your a6500. Example: SEL50 is a 50mm lens but it will be the full frame equivalent of 75mm on your a6500. If you put the 50mm lens on the ...

I like the jpegs very much out of my a6500, much improved over my older a5000. I like the BW with +3 contrast, standard (+1 sat) and deep profiles a lot. I still will shoot RAW if it is a ...

Congrats, I think you'll enjoy it. There is just something cool about manually adjusting aperture and focusing to get the shot, keep us posted when it arrives.

This is a tough call, I'm not sure how much of a difference the rok and sigma would be once stopped down. The rokinon is definitely one of my favorite lenses and I absolutely love shooting it wide ...

Great pics, number 1 is my favorite.

I really enjoyed mine and wouldn't have any hesitation of recommending it. Although if you could pony up the additional cash for the sony 20 I would, it is just so dang small!

Thank you, literally 2 minutes later clouds rolled in and obstructed the view. Got to take the pic just in the nic of time.

Thank you and the edit looks great!

Had a good time snowboarding in Chamonix a few days ago, glad they got a good dump! Awesome mountain views in the distance

Both with the sony 50, having a blast snowboarding here in the French alps. RAW edit SOOC

I think the 18-105 would be a great option along with the rokinon 12mm for night sky photography. I don't shoot a lot of night sky but that rokinon 12mm was my favorite landscape lens, I lost it ...

Took this camera out for the first time today, got some decent shots. Very impressed with the zoom range, could feel RX10 iv thoughts creeping into my head.... SOOC BW setting 16:9 Camera standard ...
