I also call budget my recent purchase of a film camera with a 50mm f2 lens for $30. I don't even need the camera, but the lens is so awesome that it has a cult following (I just happened to find a good deal as it goes for $100+ sometimes). This particular 50mm will smoke the crap out of the "art" Sigma lenses" PHOTOGRAPHY DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE !!!

Hi Christopher, my most used lens on Sony a6000 is the 7artisans 25mm f/1.8 manual lens. Definitely inexpensive (I bought it new for 60 euro) and extremely sharp in the center already from f/1.8. The equivalent field of view (FOV) on full frame camera is that of a 37mm lens. I really appreciated your review of budget lenses and the only minor issue is the lack of lenses for apsc sensors around 24mm focal length (equivalent to 35mm FOV on full frame) which is a very popular one.

Thanks for another comprehensive lower end cost review. I shoot quite a lot of wide angle, mainly landscapes, and find the Samyang wide angles to be excellent- regardless of price. The Viltrox 85 1.4 ( more like 135mm in FF terms) seems to be a good candidate, however the Sigma 56 1.4 with closer cropped focal length & AF just does a great job. With those wide angle Samyangs, manual focus a non issue as generally zone type focus at e.g 5.6, f8 or wider & everything is focus.

@sunglint
@sunglint 3 жыл бұрын
Like MFT, you can also convert almost any lens from any manufacturer. I just bought a Sigma 18-35 1.8 that was made for Sony A mount (nee Minolta), and with the Sony adapter it autofocuses, sends exif, and is _wicked_ sharp. Not budget, but when you have a Sony and you're interested in Manual lenses, the choices are great. When I decided to get the Samyang/Rokinon 14mm f2.8 I looked at best price on Pentax, Nikon, and Sony, and found a Pentax one for a great price. Canon supposedly are the best to convert, but I have no Canon assets at all right now, although it is a possibility. I've been a Pentax guy for years, and have tons of lenses, and when I decided to get a new body I went with a Sony A6500, great sensor and in body stabilization. That said, I hear good things about MFT, and you should be able to do almost all of this with that format.

I second the recommendation of the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm f2.0. Fantastic lens for landscape work. It's primary weakness, lack of AF, won't affect most of the time either since at 12mm just about everything is in focus at once. I will say that I'd recommend people look at the 55-210 in the used market as it can easily show up for half price or less, making it one of the best lowest budget lenses for this system. I enjoyed the combination of these 2 lenses while I was on APSC.

I've been a Nikon shooter for almost 20 years and I have always used Nikon lenses. They offer great inexpensive lenses and I never had to look for third party alternatives... Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Sony. The thing is my little brother has recently acquired a Sony A6400 and I would like to buy him his first prime lens (I was thinking of a fast AF lens in the 30-35mm range). I must confess that I'm completely lost... Is it possible that Sony 35mm 1.8 OSS costs around $400 with such a poor performance? I think Sigma 30mm 1.4 is my best option, right? Any other ideas?

The Sigma 19mm f2.8 DN is missing . A very good and cheap 28mm equivalent which is superior to Sony 20mm f2.8. This Sigma 19mm and the Samyang 12mm f2 offer a nice WA-UWA pair for the E mount.

You forgot the sigma 60mm f2.8 DN Art. This is the best value lens for portrait photos. This lens was rated the sharpest lens for Sony A6000 by DxO mark in 2014

That's definitely one that could be included, although like its 30mm f/2.8 brother you should be aware that it's technically discontinued

I personally absolutely love the Sigma 16mm F/.14 and the Sigma 30mm F/1.4 I've also thrown an Helios 50mm F/2 vintage manual focusing lens in the mix for portraits: not the sharpest out there, but it has character, for sure!
