Considering making very crazy....but fun lens decision - GM Trinity (A7V)
For those deep into the Sony ecosystem — would the following 3-lens setup be insane, or the holy trinity vs. going with primes.
- Sony 16-35 f2.8 GM
- Sony 28-70 f2 GM
- Sony 50-150 f2 GM
I recently bought a Sony A7 V and I’m wanting to build a long-term setup correctly the first time instead of constantly buying/selling lenses. Photography/videography has just been a fun hobby for me.
I understand this is a huge investment, but I’m of the motto buy one cry once. I care more about having the best overall shooting experience and minimizing situations where I feel limited by focal length or image quality.
I shoot:
- portraits
- travel
- general everyday
- land scapes
- Some video/vlogging (have a 16mm sigma for a lightweight lens here)
Looking at these three lenses together, it feels like they would cover nearly every realistic use case while still giving excellent low-light performance and image quality.
For those who own some combination of these:
Would this setup make most primes unnecessary?
Are there major gaps I’m overlooking?
If you had unlimited budget building a Sony kit today, would you go this route or still prioritize primes?
Interested in hearing from people who have actually spent time shooting with these lenses. Appreciate input!
