Did I overreach ?

I have a Sony a6100 and a Sigma 30mm f/1.4. You did not make a mistake. I have a good variety of lenses and I always come back to the 30 mm. You may decide to use a zoom lens in the near future, but this is a great lens. Not only to start, but overall.

Hello am looking to buy my first lens as a beginner videographer and I was looking for used lenses and I saw this 2 they both are 400 dollars and I was wondering which one should I go with am planning to use it for mostly short films, car video, food videos and for personal vacation. Cam: Sony a6100

28-75 for sure, super sharp lens and the constant 2.8 aperture is nice. Plus it’s smaller so great for travel when paired with the a6100. I’ve shot dozens of weddings and product shoots with that lens!

Ricoh GRiii vs Sony RX100 vii

Don’t forget the built in flash on the RX and the wider 24mm focal length! This is a pretty personal question based on your photography style. Take a look back through your albums, look at some of your favorite shots you’ve captured. Look for trends- are they at the wide end of the focal range? Gene

Is it worth going with the EOS R50 over the EOS R100?

It depends on what you want to do, how much you might spend in the future, and if you are okay with buying used: The a6100 is a very similar camera to the R50 - both of them have a plastic body, good autofocus, decent video, and very similar image quality. The design of the body is different of cour

The Tamron 28-75 is an INCREDIBLE lens. 100% go for that one. I use it regularly. If I had to choose just 1 lens to work with for a whole day of shooting, it would be that one (and have done). Autofocus is very fast and responsive on it too, if you’re using it with a Sony (not sure about your model

Edited in Lightroom on my iPad and then put through an app called RNI Aero, sorry for the cringe little time stamp thing lol I didn’t pay for the app (yet).

My Paris trip in July

If I had to start over with a limited budget I'd probably get a Sony alpha 6100, or if budget allows, the 6400. Both have interchangeable lens and will last you a long time. They also come with decent lens included, great for beginners to learn! But honestly, Nikon, Sony, Canon all have some great b

What would be a good camera for national park hiking?

Not true. I got a Sony a6100 and assuming the lightning isn’t fucked the photos are so much better and have a lot more detail

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! May 08, 2026

reviews seems to show the image quality is very good In terms of the body, image quality is about the same among everything you're considering. the 'recipies' seem an interesting feature. With it having a default 13-33mm this seems more suited to my leaning towards a bit more landscape photography?
