What lenses should I buy for the sony a7 ii?

The a7 II has in-body stabilisation, so you don't need stabilised lenses to keep shots steady. For an everyday kit, start with one zoom that covers most situations, then add a prime or a telephoto when you know what you shoot most.

• Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS: the one lens that covers wide to short telephoto, and my first pick for most people.
• Samyang AF 24mm f/1.8 FE: a fast wide prime for low light and a lighter bag.
• Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS: reach for portraits, sport and wildlife.

The Sony a7 II page lists every lens that fits it, so you can compare more options. The a7 II is often bought used, so read Buying used before you pay.
