> I saw the Sony 50mm f1.8 (the OSS one) which is way cheaper but then I read some comments saying the autofocus is kinda slow and clunky for the ZV-E10 since its an older lens design? Honestly, if youre shooting a wedding, you really gotta be careful with older glass. That Sony E 50mm f1.8 OSS is alright for the price, but you are totally right to worry about the autofocus. For a walking-down-the-aisle shot, that lens might hunt just long enough for you to miss the peak moment. The ZV-E10 has amazing tracking, but a slow motor in the lens will definitely bottleneck the whole system and lead to frustration. I would suggest trying to find a used Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary if you can. It is way sharper and the focus is significantly more reliable for high-pressure events like a ceremony. I've seen them go for $330 or so on the used market if you look around. Regarding the Viltrox... maybe stay away for something as important as a wedding. Their quality control can be hit or miss sometimes, and you really dont want a lens failure or weird ghosting ruining your sisters big day. About the OSS... since your camera doesnt have IBIS, the stabilization in the Sony lens helps with micro-jitters in stills, especially in low light. But if you keep your shutter speed high—like 1/200 or faster—you wont really miss it. Reliability and sharpness are way more important for portraits than stabilization. Just make sure to practice with whatever you get before the ceremony starts... weddings move way faster than you think.

> My budget is strictly around $300 maybe $350 if I eat ramen for a week lol. ^ This. Also, if you want that amazing blurry background without breaking the bank, you really need to check out the Viltrox 56mm f1.4 AF Sony E-mount! I know you heard some stuff about colors but honestly, with a quick edit or a basic preset, they look fantastic. Its such an absolute beast for the price and way faster at focusing than that old Sony lens. You wont miss those aisle shots! Another wild card if you really wanna save some cash is the TTArtisan 56mm f1.8 AF Sony E. Its super budget-friendly and surprisingly sharp for how cheap it is. Quick tip: for the wedding, make sure you turn on Face/Eye Priority in AF in your settings. It makes shooting portraits a total breeze and youll get those crisp eyes every single time. Youre gonna kill it!

late to the party but i wanted to chime in since weddings are high pressure. you might want to consider looking at the used market to get better glass for your money.

• look for a used Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary. it usually hits $350 second-hand and the autofocus is way more reliable than the older sony for moving subjects like the aisle walk.
• if you go with the Viltrox AF 56mm f1.4 E, just be careful with shooting in direct sunlight. it tends to get purple fringing which is a nightmare to fix on a white wedding dress.
• technical tip: since the zv-e10 has no internal stabilization, i would suggest keeping your shutter speed at 1/200s minimum. it prevents those tiny micro-blurs that happen when you are holding the camera for a long time. youll definitely get that blurry background with either of these tho!
