The more I shoot with the Sony a6300 the more I enjoy it, a lot. I only have two lenses (not including the horrible kit lens which has been collecting dust for a year now) - the Sigma 16mm 1.4 and Sony 35mm 1.8. They both have completely different characteristics but are equally enjoyable to shoot with. As I mentioned in my a previous post, wide angles are not my first choice but the Sigma lens is just special. I almost always get in close to my subjects and rarely have the aperture set above 2.0, at least for my personal stuff. The same goes for the Sony lens. That’s not to say that I don’t know how to use other apertures, especially for my professional work, but I tend to go more abstract for my personal stuff, unless I’m doing straight up street photography.
