Need advice on Sony E-Mount lenses

4 years 7 months ago #657725 by bodhidg1983
Hi Folks,

I have a passion for photography and intend to pursue it a bit more, hence want to upgrade from my oh-so-old SONY A35 DSLR.

I want to go for the SONY A7RIII.... (given that the A7RIV is so damn expensive)

What I need some advice for are the lenses....

These are the lenses I have shortlisted, based on some Youtube reviews/suggestions...
1) Sony 16-35mm f/4 - SEL1635Z
2) Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM - SEL24F14GM
3) Sony 55mm f/1.8 - SEL55F18Z
4) Sony 85mm f/1.8 - SEL85F18
5) Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 
6) Sony 70-200mm f/4 - SEL70200G

I would want to start off with 2 lenses
 And maybe add another one after a year or so IF REQUIRED.
What do I like shooting, or shoot ?
 - Human portrait, landscape, candid scenes at family gatherings and parties, some low-light candid moments at family gatherings and functions, weddings, birthday parties, children's school sporting events, office sporting events, amusement parks, beach/water... and more

Any suggestions for which 2 lenses I should start with ?


Thanks,
Bodhi

No. 5 and No. 6 if only 2 lenses. That will do most everything you need.
