Ive been shooting on my A7IV for about three years now and honestly I thought I had my kit sorted with the 24-70 GM but man that thing is starting to kill my wrist after a full day of shooting. Im heading up to Seattle in three weeks for a cousins wedding and I just know the lighting in that old warehouse venue is going to be absolute garbage. My zoom is great for versatility but at f/2.8 it just isnt cutting it anymore when the sun goes down and Im tired of bumping my ISO up to like 12800 just to get a usable shot.

Ive never really been a prime lens guy because I hate swapping glass in the middle of a shoot but I think Im finally reaching my breaking point here. Ive been looking at the 35mm options and Im honestly just overwhelmed. Do I go for the Sony 35mm f/1.8 which is light and cheap or do I sell a kidney for the 35mm GM? Then theres the Sigma Art series which everyone says is sharp as hell but theyre basically bricks and Im trying to actually save my back this time around.

My budget is sitting right around $900 maybe a bit more if I can find a good deal on a used copy but I need something that can handle the fast autofocus for the ceremony and then look creamy enough for the portraits afterward. I was even looking at the 50mm options but I feel like that might be too tight for the indoor reception space theyve got booked. It is just so frustrating because every review I watch says something different and I dont have time to rent five different lenses before the flight.

• Need fast AF for low light
• Weight is a huge factor this time
• Budget is strictly under $1k
• Mostly for indoor event stuff

Which prime is actually worth the money for a Sony setup these days when youre dealing with low light and moving targets? Im leaning towards the 35mm but maybe Im missing a hidden gem from Tamron or something...
