Best budget lens for the sony a7 iii?
For a budget pick on the a7 III, I'd look at three lenses from its catalogue page:
- Viltrox AF 28mm f/1.8 is a fast prime that's good in low light and for portraits.
- Meike 35mm f/2 STM is a small, simple lens that works well for everyday walking-around shots.
- Sony FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 is a zoom that covers a lot of ground if you want one lens for everything.
If you're putting a first kit together, my advice is to spend about as much on glass as on the body. Your first camera explains why that pays off.
