Im buying Sony QX1 APSC Lens Style Camera soon. Help me to choose lens

user posted image

1. I need 1 multipurpose lens with huge aperture for portrait

2. i need i wide angle lens / converter for landscape

https://store.sony.com.my/productlisting.aspx?catid=217

SEL50F18 looks nice and cheap now. Is the lens any good (creating creamy bokeh and sharp?)

Can the converters works with the above lens?

For landscape (milky way) which one is better? Fist eye or ultra wide angle?

Thanks

The 50 should be fine, keep in mind you would ideally want small lenses that won't threaten to break open your QX1. For a wide, go get the SEL20 which works perfect with the ultra wide converter (the SEL16 is the ONLY other lens that works with the converters BTW, but it's not really that good).

Or the Sigma 19 which is cheaper, a lot sharper and only slightly bigger but doesn't take the converters. The QX1 also doesn't have the A6000 PDAF sensors so there shouldn't be any focus slowdowns with the Sigma.

You really don't need the fisheye converter unless you *like* the effect.

But really, I'd you don't shoot RAW the kit lens (SELP1650) is really good enough, especially when shooting at 16mm (this is ALREADY wider than the SEL20 + UWC).

Given a good enough location, the SELP1650 could do milky way shots just fine too - though you have to keep in mind that the QX1 DOES NOT HAVE MANUAL MODE AT ALL (which you *kinda* need for good starfield/milky way shots).

TBH, the kit lens + the 50mm should suffice for everything you'll normally *need* the QX1 to do really.

I think i'm buying the body only + SEL16F28 + SEL50F18

You think a good combination?

wait what you mean no manual mode?

What HDMI out cable you guys use to display liveview on TV /Monitor.

Please recommend coz MHL (microUSB to HDMI) only working on Xperia Phone but not multi port in camera.

just buy the micro hdmi cable

micro HDMI cable =/= micro USB

The multi port has microUSB interface (similar to all sony phone) but it can be used to deliver 4K video to TV with HDMI in the the other end. Like MHL

MHL adapter only works on phone but not camera. So what cable u guys use to connect your camera to HDTV?
