Depends on your budget and shooting style, but here's what I've been loving on my FX30: The Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN is fantastic value - nearly as good as the Sony 16-55mm but much cheaper. For primes, the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS is a sweet spot for general use, and if you need something wider, the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN is incredible for the price. Both Sigma lenses punch way above their weight class.

Just picked up my FX30 last month and loving it so far. For my first lens, I went with the Sony FE 16-55mm f/2.8 G - offers excellent image quality across a useful zoom range and it's been fantastic for everything from vlogging to landscape shots. It's the go-to lens for a variety of shooting situations, making it a top pick for Sony FX30 users. Its zoom range from wide-angle to short telephoto is perfect for landscapes, portraits, and everything in between. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but the image quality is worth every penny. Highly recommend starting here if you want one lens that does it all!

I have had my FX30 for a long time now and honestly I am still in this exact same boat. I think finding the right glass is a decent option for most, but I just end up spiraling. It really just depends on your needs in the moment, you know? It reminds me of a project a friend of mine tried to start a few years ago:

• He spent months researching the ultimate kit because he thought it worked better for his vision.
• By the time he actually had the gear delivered, the subject of his documentary had moved across the country.
• He had all this equipment sitting in cases for a year because he was too burnt out to start over.
• He eventually just sold it all at a loss. It was a whole ordeal that turned into a joke in our circle, but I feel that same paralysis every time I look at my shopping cart lately... just cant pull the trigger.

As a FX30 user, I can recommend several great lens options depending on your needs and budget. Since the FX30 is a Super35/APS-C sensor camera, here are my top suggestions:

For versatile zoom options:

• Sony 18-105mm f/4 G: Excellent all-around lens with constant aperture and power zoom
• Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8: Compact, sharp, and great value for money
• Sony 16-55mm f/2.8 G: Premium option with superior image quality

For prime lenses:

• Sigma 16mm f/1.4: Outstanding for wide-angle shots and low light
• Sony 35mm f/1.8: Perfect normal focal length with great autofocus
• Sigma 56mm f/1.4: Excellent portrait lens at a reasonable price

Budget-friendly options:

• Sony 20mm f/2.8: Ultra-compact wide angle
• Sony 50mm f/1.8: Affordable portrait lens

Remember that the FX30's APS-C crop factor means you'll need to multiply focal lengths by 1.5 to get the full-frame equivalent. For video work, I particularly recommend the 18-105mm f/4 G as a versatile starting point - its power zoom feature is great for smooth transitions, and the constant aperture is crucial for maintaining exposure while zooming.

Consider your specific shooting needs and budget when choosing, but any of these lenses will serve the FX30 well.

Also recommend the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD.
