which prime lens should I grab for my Sony a7iv before this Saturday? I have a wedding gig in downtown Denver and my current setup just isnt gonna cut it for the low light reception.
I was looking at the Sony 35mm f1.4 GM since everyone raves about it but then I saw the Sigma 85mm f1.4 is basically legendary for portraits and now im spiraling. Some people say 35mm is too wide for ceremonies but then others say 85mm is too tight for the dance floor and I cant afford both right now.
I have exactly 1400 dollars to spend today.
- sony 35mm gm
- sigma 85mm dg dn
Should I prioritize the wider shot or the bokeh??
I would suggest the 35mm to stay safe. You might want to be careful with the 85mm at a reception... its just too tight for group shots or the dance floor.
- Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM is the more reliable bet for low light and fits your 1400 budget.
- Make sure to test your focus tonight so you dont have issues Saturday.
@Reply #1 - good point! Tho I'm much more satisfied with Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art.
- 11-blade aperture
- superior MTF charts Ngl, the bokeh tech works so well for receptions.
