I actually bought something similar a while back hoping it would be my new go-to. Unfortunately, it didnt quite live up to the hype for me.

  • The autofocus motor was quite noisy. It was actually distracting during quiet moments and I found it struggled in low light.

  • I had major issues with distortion. Straight lines on buildings looked like they were bowing out, which made my street shots look unprofessional.

  • The color rendition was a bit flat. I spent way too much time in editing trying to make the images pop. Tbh, it was not as good as expected and I ended up regretting the purchase. I thought I was being smart with my money, but the one I got just didnt feel like a real upgrade from my old setup. It definitely taught me to be more careful with some of these lower-priced options... sometimes there's a reason they're so cheap.

Compact and budget.

It's a compact prime lens that delivers amazingly sharp images. The f/2.8 aperture is great for low light situations and provides a shallow depth of field for nice bokeh. Best of all, it's very budget-friendly at around $250. I've been using it on my Sony A7III and couldn't be happier!

However, I'm on a tight budget and want to make the most of my investment. I'm interested in shooting a variety of subjects, including landscapes, portraits, and street photography.

What would you recommend as the best affordable E-mount lenses for a full-frame camera? I'm open to both prime and zoom lenses. I'd prefer to keep the price under $500 per lens if possible.

I've heard good things about the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8, Samyang 35mm f/2.8, and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. Do you have any experience with these lenses or other budget-friendly options?
