I have a Sony alpha-58 with stock lenses(18-55mm and 50-200mm zoom lenses). Now i am considering buying a prime lens and i found these 2: 1. 30mm f/2.8(SAL30M28) 2. 35mm f/1.8(SAL35F18) Can someone recommend me one? Also first one says its a macro lens how is it different from the second? I am open to suggestions even if its some other lens in same price range(sub 200usd). Thanks in advance

I was looking into the Sigma Prime 35/1.4 but passed because of low light focus issues. Can anyone recommend a sharp 35/1.4 in or around the 1K to 1.2K price point? I know it is kind of like finding sasquatch for that price but I thought I would give it a shot! Eric

Hi Guys!!! I'm in need of some pro opinions as research has just confused me more. Aside from the fact that I should've upgraded my body YEARS ago (currently still rocking a Sony A330), I'm looking for opinions in lens. I currently use a SAL-50F1.8 for portraits and family. My problem comes in when it's a rather larger family and I need to step back further than I have available OR for indoor newborn lifestyle photography where I often like to catch a large portion of the decorated nursery with the subjects, but the limited space doesn't make that possible. I'm wondering, is there a better portrait lens that I can be using, still with a wide aperture but with a shorter focal length, that I can use as my primary lens? OR Would it be best to buy a wide angle lens for such cases and swap out as needed? If I should just buy a wide angles lens (I'm no where's near familiar with them as I am a portrait lens) which one, because I know distortion can be great. Overview: Photography style: Portraits/Family Currently use: SAL-50F1.8 Needing: better portrait lens with wide aperture but shorter focal length to capture larger areas such as in a room or larger groups of families A must: smooth and pleasing bokeh and sharpness
