Sony/Zeiss 16-35 f4 - incredibly sharp.Sony 28-60 4-5.6 - very small and light, yet incredibly sharpSigma 90f2.8 - small and light, very sharpWith the a7r3, the 16-35 also covers 50, and with the 90 it covers 135 easily.So, on a light walk it is the 28-60, all else it is the 16-35 with the 90.

I have a lot of lenses that get used very infrequently. My most used lenses are ones with specific uses without real alternatives.Most used zooms:Most used primes:

I assume both would work fine on an A6600 too.

Thx, looks as though the Canon mount  400mm lens is too expensive - even used - for the use I would get out of it.CheersMike M

Most used zoom(A7R IV for all): Tamron 17-28/2.8Most used primes:Sony 20/1.8 G & 35/1.4 GM, Samyang 75/1.8TBH I use the 17-28 more than the 20/1.8 G even tho I enjoy shooting with the latter more, and I might also be using the Samyang 45/1.8 more than the 20G (it's my sized-down alternative to the 35GM, along w/a 24/2.8 G). This is unlikely to change anytime soon, stuff like the Laowa 11/4.5, 100/2.8, and SY 135/1.8 will never figure amongst my most used lenses even if I really appreciate them.I might start using theTamron 50-400much more often as I start trying to shoot the macaws that live near my home tho, just haven't made the time since I bought it. Out of my other system (M4/3), theOly 75/1.8is easily my most used, followed by the 42.5/1.7. There's just a lot of places where a tiny tele on a tiny body is just the ticket.I really like my main prime trio, and the 17-28 (and the M4/3 75/1.8), everything else just revolves around of and fits that. If my main prime trio was say 24/50/100 or if my UWA zoom was the 20-40 (or I was shooting a lower res body) then the other primes would likely be adjusted to that (might have a less wide Laowa, no 135mm, etc.). I like 20/35/75 in general tho, feels like I can get a lot done with just that and it fits in a 6L sling. Might look at faster/wider UWAs for astro, idk.I'm not really wishing for anything else at this point, maybe a small AF or FF alternative to my FD 135/3.5 and/or Oly 75/1.8, something well <500g, might try the Tamron 28-200 or Sigma 65/2 as alternatives to what I've got someday tho.
