What lenses should I buy for the sony a1?
For the Sony a1, I'd start with a standard zoom and a telephoto zoom, then add wide-angle later if you need it. Everything below is a Sony E-mount lens that fits the a1.
- Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II: the everyday workhorse for people, travel and general shooting.
- Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II: the natural partner for portraits, sport and anything that needs reach.
- Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II: for landscapes, architecture and interiors.
If you want to keep the budget down, the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS covers a similar everyday range in a smaller, cheaper package.
