    Hi all,

    Tall ask I know but with a budget of 1200 euro, I'm looking for 3x lenses to cover all use cases with a Sony A6500. I have a Sigma MC-11 Canon EF adapter so Canon fit lenses are also an option. I mainly shoot landscape photo but also do a lot of video from mid to long range. What I had in mind:

    - Samyang 12mm f/2
    - Sigma 24-105 f/4
    - Canon 70-200 f/4 non IS

    Would be getting the Samyang and Canon from Einfinity. Thanks!

    Edit: I should add, I currently have the Canon 16-35mm f/4 as I have moved from a Canon 700d. So would be selling this and putting some money towards getting the others.

    The Samyang has pretty good reviews online. The others look good. I have the same camera and the 16-55 kit lens and the 55-210 zoom. And I just bought a 30mm Sigma because I take portrait photography. I've been thinking about the 12mm for a while.
    Your question is quite specific and it really depends on what you're into, which is probably why you haven't had replies. I think you'd be set up with the three you've mentioned. Personally I'd go with a 24-200 one just so I didn't have to carry two. It's very annoying when you're on a street and you want to zoom, by the time you've switched to the zoom the moment has passed.

    Thanks for the response. I had a look at the 24-240 but it seems to he an absolute monster. Will do some more research and see is there anything else as an option. Also considering the Canon 24-70 f/4 instead of the Sigma.

    Don't know if I am crazy to sell the Canon 16-35 f/4 I currently have but it seems like the best option.
