June 1, 20241 yr Hi guys, I haven't been following camera gears for so long and I don't know what's available for the A7. I'm trying to avoid the Sony brands right now because of cost, but I need something 16 or wider for some jobs I will be asked to do. I will be shooting F8 or higher, so aperture don't matter to me so cheaper the better. Notes: -16mm or wider -Aperture don't matter. I will be shooting F8. -Any brand. Don't care as long as its cheap.

June 1, 20241 yr You've got a couple of dozen lenses to choose from -- down to 5mm -- zooms, fixed, fisheye & not. AF & not, large & small, fast & slow. You need to think about what you want. Lots of 14mm & 15mm to choose from (many are the same lens). How about a Laowa 10-18mm zoom?

June 1, 20241 yr Author I wanted to edit the post above but I couldn't so let me add a few more things. It needs: -Autofocus -It needs to be Full frame. I don't want to mess with adapters.

I'm use to seeing full frame as FE so I'm not too sure. It says this on amazon: About this item E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format Aperture Range: f/4.5 to f/22 One Extra-Low Dispersion Element Two Aspherical Elements Frog Eye Dust & Water-Repellent Coating Only thing not listed is the autofocus, is something I'm looking for as well.
June 2, 20241 yr Most Laowa lenses are manual focus, as is their 10-18 for Sony FE. They do have a 10mm f/2.8 with AF coming in June, but it's fairly expensive. A cheap option with autofocus is the Samyang/Rokinon AF 14mm f/2.8.
