hi everyone,
so i got a sony alpha a5000 the other day after reading a lot of reviews of entry-level cameras at that price. it's quite cheap now since the a5100 came, i guess. it came with a kit lens. 16-50. i hardly used the lens at all because it can't be much good, from what i have read. i am used to a 50mm 1.8 on my nikon dslr. i guess image quality can not equal that in terms of sharpness from a micro four thirds camera but at least i can move closer to it.
what good value lenses would you recommend? i mostly want to do street photography and also since it is a crop body, i need to think about that. maybe this leads to the question, what is the best lens for street photography.
so far i have read very good things about the Sigma 30mm 2.8 dn art. There is also a 19mm version.
thanks for any tips and advice
