What lenses would you choose?

hjulenissen

Assuming a Sony A7II (with the intent to upgrade to the A7RIII when/if prices come down), what few lenses would you choose? (You'd have to pay them, carry them and actually use them). I am well aware that people have different styles and needs so I don't think there will be some consensus, I just want an informed overview of what people think and have experienced.On my current APS-C camera the most used lenses are a 100mm macro lens with IS, and a cheap fish-eye. I am not sure that my usage patterns would transfer equivalently to FF/mirrorless, and I am not sure if these lenses are some magical focal lengths to me, or if it is a more pragmatic question of what is available economically and practically.Wide:* Voigtländer 10mm f/5.6* Samyang 12mm f/2.8 fisheye* Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC* If I had limitless funds, I would add a Canon TS-E 17mm, but alas I don't.Short tele-macro-IS:*Sony FE 90 F2.8 Macro G OSS*Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 OS (no macro)What would you be happy with? Would you miss a large-aperture prime in the 35-55mm range?-h

Your reference to most used APS-C lenses surprises me a bit. If fish-eye is, say 8 mm, then the equivalent FF lens is 12 mm. To 100 mm corresponds a 150 mm FF-lens.I would choose from this list:http://photozone.de/sonyalphaffI would suggest the 16-35 mm zoom. It is said to be very good. Then for the long choose from wanted price from this list, 85 or 135 mm. I could live with no wider than the 24 mm F/2 Distagon (or the Samyang 14 mm maybe).
