Camera lens

[Shanewells36]

Hey everyone, I hunt out of a tree stand primarily and am looking to start filming with my Sony a6400. I have a 50m F1.8 for low light but was looking at the 18-105 F4 for a primary lens. Do you guys run this lens and if so what’s your opinion on it?

Get a 70-200mm 2.8

It depends.. when you say a tree stand, what distances do you usually encounter game at? Are you in thick foliage? The 70-200 mentioned above is a fantastic choice albeit expensive, and with the crop factor of your camera may be overkill. Weight can also be a consideration.

The 18-105 is a decent budget lens for sure. It would probably give you an idea if you like taking wide angle or telephoto pictures more, and inform your buying decision/lens collection for future lenses.
