Hi..

I would like to purchase another prime lens for my a7 camera.
currently I'm using SEL2870 (28-70 FE3.5-5.6)

What are the choices available with budget below RM 1.5K

after read and watch review, it seems like i should get the 35mm but i still need second opinion though..

Thanks

35mm is wide angle on ff camera. For street photography usually, 50mm is considered closest to human's eye view and best to create distance between subject but still close enough to be personal. If you primarily shoot background scene 35mm. If you like to have human element, 50mm (if got) is better all rounder. If you are sneaky type, longer prime would be ideal.

Thx dude.. i like ur crazy suggestion.. but how about third party lens, anything that u can recommend?
during traveling i wont concern much about resolution as long as the pixel is clear enough. not to blow up picture like studio quality. A3 is the biggest size i will go, and rarely will be bigger than that..

Resolution is not just about blowing up to canvas size. Its about leaving enough detail for cropping. With higher mp, it can sometimes compensate longer tele lens by cropping out the frame.
