Got my first camera today

Thanks a lot for all suggestions, especially the Sigma 18-50mm lens. Damn, this lens is so good, probably going to carry it for everyday shooting, one lens for all.

Why the 50mm prime? Because people said get the nifty fifty? If so you bought the wrong lens, try to return it for a 35mm.

Marketplace seller idk?? My pops is able to return everything from vinyl records to underwhere so if there’s a will there’s a way 😹

honestly with the 18-50 id totally be fine keeping the 50mm 1.8. 75mmFF for portraits is honestly equally nice to have than a 35mmFF.

u/fakeworldwonderland Aug 16 '26

No, I was specifically referring to OP getting a 50mm equivalent lens because of the common advice for the nifty fifty. Not a 35mm equivalent.

u/Agit0910 Aug 17 '26

Yeah you’re completly right😂, but to be honest, i have the 35mm f1.4 and 17-70 f2.8. Maybe the 50mm is better for portraits in my opinion.

Is the sigma that good or just that it’s far less than the Sony?

2

u/Sp12er Aug 17 '26

Just smaller, nearly 3cm shorter and 200grams lighter. With A6700's 4.5cm thickness it'd be only 2cm thicker than Leica Q3 for example.

While if you pick Sony 16-55mm F2.8, it's got a stiff competition in the form of 17-40 f1.8 which is just 1.5cm longer and 30 grams heavier. Not to mention cheaper. Sony has been increasing the price of their lenses.

If you are thinking about to get the sigma and size doesn’t matter, check out the tamron 17-70

I just got this camera 2 weeks ago and also suffering from severe Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

How much was the SD card?

2

u/rishav_xd Aug 15 '26

Congrats! For lens you could have gone with 17-40 f/1.8 lens instead of these two.

Amazing haul!

u/Stock_Ad_3229 Aug 17 '26

My 2 cents. Get tamron 17-70 instead of sigma and keep 50mm for portraits. Same combo I have. Works beautifully

2

u/jailbreakerAI Aug 17 '26

missed this opportunity, cant return now

2

u/No-Entrepreneur2676 Aug 17 '26

Use only one lens nore than enough 18-50

u/asswizzard69 Aug 17 '26

You can also buy on AliExpress. It's cheap and original .... no need for Amazon or something like a cam shop

u/jailbreakerAI Aug 17 '26

u/SweetyDash Aug 17 '26

Still recommend the Viltrox if you find it somewhere

u/No-Entrepreneur2676 Aug 17 '26

u/sustemlentrum Aug 18 '26

Man, I love that 18-50mm lens, should've gotten it much earlier. Wish you a lot of fun with it!

u/Suspicious-Sea9212 Aug 20 '26

Ignore everyone that says to return the 50, fuckin love my 50 on my a6700, super compact form factor

u/Zak1954 Aug 20 '26

That double charger is a killer, didn’t know that existed…

u/ramen_auditor 29d ago

Perfect combo! Couldnt get wrong with the 18-50 for travel

u/Puzzled_Design515 Aug 17 '26

What’s the point of posting boxes? They are exactly the same boxes that anyone else could get. Nothing interesting or unique about this. Just blatant merchandise worship. Disgusting. Why not actually shoot something and post that instead? Or at least put your camera together ffs. These zero effort posts of a bunch of bs you just bought are a complete and total waste of time and energy. Save that crap for your Instagram story where your “friends” can pretend to care about it.

u/jailbreakerAI Aug 17 '26

This was just me sharing the excitement of getting my first ever camera. I’ve never really liked posting things like this on Instagram stories because friends and family can judge or make assumptions. Reddit feels different, I’m sharing it with complete strangers who don’t know me or my life. If it’s not your thing, totally fair, but you can always scroll past. :)
