Greetings from snow-packed Maine...new to the forum here. My name is Doug and I shoot an A99, primarily with the Sony 24-70 2.8, which I've been pretty happy with, but I've been wondering lately if it would be worth exploring prime options for IQ benefits. I also have a Sony 70-300G, which is okay in good light, but nothing to write home about. The majority of my work is nautical, landscape/seascape, nature details stuff.
Before I go out and rent some lenses, I'd be very interested in hearing from other A99 shooters on the subject. I'm thinking maybe (5) primes to cover my current/future needs: something in the 20-24 area, 35, 50/55ish, 85 and 135 or 150. Actually, we can take the 135 out of the equation - I recently rented the Sony/Zeiss 135 1.8 and almost fell on the floor...astonishingly great piece of glass.
Looking forward to any and all comments.
