    Hi all!
    Noobie here wondering about lenses for portraits as well as wide angle?
    Is there a lens that can do both for me?
    Price is an issue so can do with some older minolta lenses.

    thanks

    I would get 2 lenses rather than one for both. I have a sigma 10-20mm for wide angle (landscapes etc.) and 50mm f1.7. minolta for portraits, which i got off ebay.

    I think they are both great! And they are the 2 lenses I use most. The sigma is quite pricey but there is nothing really cheaper than that for ultra-wide angles. tamron do a couple of wide angles but don't know if they are any good!

    Sony also do a 50mm f1.8 that is reasonably priced for portraits. the sony 50mm f1.4 is a rip off imo!

    Hope that helps :)
