Best budget lens for the sony a7r ii?

For a budget pick on the Sony a7R II, I'd start with a cheap fast prime. The first camera guide makes the case: a modest lens with a good aperture beats a cheap zoom.

I'd shortlist these from the a7R II list:

• Meike 35mm f/2 STM, a light, sensible standard-to-portrait focal length.
• 7Artisans AF 35mm f/1.8, if you want a faster aperture for low light.
• Viltrox AF 28mm f/1.8, a good wider option for street and travel.

I can't quote prices here, so check current listings before you buy. If you shoot people, the 35mm options are the ones I'd pick first.
