If you can afford it, the 43/1.9 is an excellent option, as well. I second the idea of getting a 50/1.4 for low-light situations. The only disadvantage with these "super zoom" type of lenses is that you lose some IQ with such a wide range, although they can produce some good images. If convenience is what you're really after, then the 18-250 is a good option. Sigma 10-20, Pentax 10-17 & 12-24 for wider and Sigma or Tamron 70-300 or Pentax 55-300 on the tele end, for example. Its 108MP sensor allowed the photographer to snap a sharper, more. As you can see in the images above, the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s Wide-angle lens offers a field of view that’s as wide as a DSLR. Depending on how you answer both of those questions, then that may open up even more lens choices-i.e. A comparison of photos taken with the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s Wide-angle lens, a full-frame DSLR, and a crop-sensor DSLR with a wide-angle (24-70mm) lens. If you tend to use more telephoto than WA, then you could put more money into a really good telephoto (Sigma or Tamron 70-200 or Pentax *60-250) and not worry so much about upgrading the 18-55.Īnother way of looking at this question is after using the 18-55 lens for a while, do you find that either you wish it would go wider or go out further (or both)? Ask yourself the same thing in regard to the 50-200 lens. For example, if you find that you tend to go more wide-angle, then get a better wider-end zoom (like the Sigma 17-70, 18-50/2.8, Tamron 17-50, or Pentax *16-50) and hang on to the 50-200 for the longer lengths.
You can use the data from ExposurePlot to help you determine where you should sink most of your lens money. Use it and the 18-55 for a while and see what focal lengths you use the most (ExposurePlot is a good little freeware program that will make this easy). You can pick one up gently used for under $200 easy.
