Hi everyone,
I just ordered a canon r8 and it is my first full frame camera. However, I have not ordered a lens yet as I am very undecisive and I feel like I lack the proper knowledge.

Let me start by saying that I have been using an Apsc Sony camera so far. I mostly take pictures of the sunset, the beach, friends and family (not exactly portraits, mostly like just a picture of memories sitting on chairs watching the sunset, or a picture in a nice spot in downtown etc).

I did some research and I was leaning towards the 24 mm or the 28. In my old camera I had a 35 mm lens which was pretty zoomed in for my liking and didn’t use that often. However, I learned that a 35 mm on a full frame will actually look very wide, not like in the crop sensor camera (duhhh!). I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions on which lens should I get? I am kind of on a budget of 500-600 usd.

The lenses I was leaning towards more are 24 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm or even 16 mm (but I am not sure if it will be too wide).
I appreciate any help or opinion!

Hey everyone. I own a Sony ZVe10 and I really wanted a portrait lens so I got the Viltrox 35 mm 1.7. However, I have noticed some problems that have actually made me not use the lens anymore:

1. The focus seems to be very slow. When in picture mode, it takes like 3-4 secs to focus. Sometimes even longer. However, if it is not focusing and I click on the Video mode, it focuses immediately. Am I doing anything wrong or is this not supposed to happen?
2. There is a heavy light flickering when lights are on. I switched between pal and ntsc but there was no difference. When there is a strong light, all my pics have some lines on them.
3. There is heavy vignetting with this lens. The pics are super dark in the corners.

This could also very well be a user error as I am a beginner in photography but still, I researched these problems online and I do not think these were supposed to happen by what I have read. I have also considered the possibility that it might be the settings on my camera, even thought Chat GPT assured me it is not the case. I would appreciate any help or opinion.
