What wide angle is everyone running on their a7C II for landscape stuff? Ive been shooting Sony for like 8 years now so I know the system but the compact body on this new C II is throwing me for a loop. My old 16-35 GM is just way too front heavy and honestly ruins the whole point of having a small camera.
I am heading to the Dolomites next month and really want something sharp but light enough for 10-mile hikes. Budget is around $1200 maybe a bit more if its worth it.
Looking at:
- Sony 20mm f1.8 G
- Tamron 17-28mm
- Maybe a Sigma?
I am worried about the balance and if the 20mm is gonna be wide enough for those massive peaks...

> I am worried about the balance and if the 20mm is gonna be wide enough for those massive peaks... Honestly, im super satisfied with the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G. At just 373g, it balances perfectly on the C II body. The 94 degree field of view works well for massive landscapes if you stitch occasional panos. Plus, you save about $300 compared to your budget limit, which is great for extra batteries or filters. No complaints here.
