I'm in my 70's and I travel light with Sony A6600 fitted with Sigma 16mm 1.4 wide lens and an extra Sony 24 1.8 Zeiss lens in a small Tamrac sling bag. I use prime wides for crisp and tack sharp photos for printing.

[SoaringThief]

Thank you for your continued support to all APS-C camera owners/users. I own the Sigma 18-50 and Sigma 56mm, this video helped me decide to go for the Sony 11mm f1.8 than the 15mm f1.4; but will definitely try the 15mm f1.4 in the future. These small lightweight lenses from Sony and Sigma are answered prayers to APS-C owners!

[JimIBobIJones]

I take the opposite philosophy with my APSC travel kit and lean in heavily on primes. The portability advantage of the 6000 series as well as how small APSC lenses are allow you pack a surprising number of primes.

I usually take a 9mm Laowa, 16mm Sigma, 35mm Sony and the 18-105 Sony to fill any gaps and have a long zoom option if and when needed. They all fit neatly into the Hadley Small - with enough room left for a tablet/small laptop, battery pack, a full cleaning kit, a few spare batteries and even a rx100 for backup (or another small lens like the OG 16-50 kit lens).

Today i would swap the Sony 11 F1.8 for the Sigma 10-18 F2.8 and the Sigma 18-50 F2.8 for the Tamron 17-70 F2.8. Yes, the sony 11 is sharper and has faster aperture than the Sigma 10-18, but you are covering more wide angle range wich is extremely versatile. Only having 11 mm is a bit restricting. And yes, the Tamron 17-70 is bigger, heavier and little bit more expensive than the Sigma 18-50, but it has more zoom-range on both ends, fills the gap between 50-70mm and has image stabilisation, wich is a big deal, especially on all the Sony APSC cameras without IBIS. Also i feel the Tamron is a bit sharper than the Sigma but that might be only my subjective feeling (tested both). Nothing wrong with 70-350 though, best Tele-Lens on APSC.

ZV-E10 + 11mm 1.8 is my walkaround video camera. I put it on a Zhiyun Crane M2S for stability and take it off the gimbal when not needed. At least I have Catalyst Browse as a backup to stabilize the footage. I have the A7IV with Tamron 35-150mm 2-2.8 for everything else: photos, timelapse, slowmo, long distance shots. and of course, a gopro and a drone.

I just bought an a6600 with the Sigma 18-50 as my first camera and wow is it an incredible combo. The Sigma really is amazingly versatile and so much more compact than the Tamron 17-70 I was weighing against it in my decision process. The next one I’ll get is the Sony 11mm and then save up for the 70-350. Thanks!

I have the Sony 18-135mm lens almost permanently attached to my A6700. Useful for Street, Lancascape, etc. No other needed unless I was shooting wildlife.

I often travel with a small group of people and no one wants to wait for me to change lenses. I have a great travel a6700, bought a tamron 17-70/2.8, peak design capture backpack mount and that solved absolutely everything.

[MikesManCave]

My travel kit is a Sony ZV E10 with the Sony 10-18mm and the Sony 18-200. Job Done. I also have a Sony ZV1 ii as a EDC, I don't leave the house without it.

[BritishRosie-eszr]

Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 and Sony 70-350mm OSS for me. Gives 25mm ish to 525mm in 2 lenses. Never needed anything too wide when travelling

[MegaUltraSuperDuable]

I would change out the signa 16-50mm for the tamron 17-70mm because of the longer reach but also because of the built in stabilization 👍 also... I would trade out the wide prime for a wide zoom. Mostly for the Sony 10-18mm f4 OSS.... This way i would have covered 10mm all the way up to 350mm with stabilization. And no gapes in the range 👍🙂

[luism.]

That’s the exact lineup I’m working towards.
I got into Sony recently (leaving Canon ef-m, and Canon in general since their recent RF lens announcement) specifically for these lenses. I have started with the 70-350 lens since I didn’t have a telephoto yet.
I also got the 18-105 f4 on a pretty cheap deal to cover my mid-range needs temporarily and to experiment.
If my budget had allowed it, I’d have gotten the sigma 18-50 f2.8 instead. I’ll get it next for sure, and then definitely that lovely 11 f1.8.
I might still keep the 18-105. I actually quite like filming with the smooth power-zoom, and it’s a very useful wide focal range; but one thing I have noticed annoys me more than anticipated, is its long minimum focusing distance…
In any case I’m excited by the wide choice of quality glass at affordable prices in the E-mount system.

2:24 - almost prophetic about the A6700!

[Cajundaddydave]

Super fun and hilarious rundown on your favorite lenses, thanks Jason! Now it's time to go shopping. Hello KEH...

[rebeccamoore]

Great fun watching your videos. My travel kit (stills only 🤠) is the Sony a6600 paired with the hefty Tamron 17-70 and the Sony 70-350. I have a tenba slim backpack insert that it all fits in, so I can be fairly light and compact for motorcycle, hiking or international travel shooting. I also usually carry the larger of manfrotto’s mini tripods. It’s so awesome that more lightweight and fast lenses are coming out for a6xxx series cameras. Yay!

[JS-wzkm]

I have an a6500 with the SEL70350. Great lens except for one issue. When I go birding it tends to back focus above 250mm. Unfortunately, you can't just DMF and make the minor correction, even with MF Assist zoom the EVF doesn't have enough resolution to tell if it is back focused and the focus peaking has to large a range with f4.8 to tell if it actually hit focus or not. Maybe with a very bright high res external monitor you could tell... but Sony could just firmware update to include animal eye auto focus, cause this doesn't seem to be an issue for a6600 users. Of course they intend we just buy an a6600. Love the camera and lens otherwise and I have a beanbag to use for really long shots. Thanks Jason, good review, I use a 7artisan manual 25mm f1.8 when I want the wide aperture near 50mm equivalent for the reasons you mentioned!

[Sonic-Boom]

I've gone for the Sigma 18-50 and Sony 70-350 with A6700. The third lens is a Tamron 11-20 2.8 but have just bought the Sony 20mm to try out.
Love the 10L Peak Design Sling too.

[TW-iuzy]

… my travel kit is „Sony only“: 10-20 F4, 15 F1.4, 16-55 F2.8 and 70-350 F4.5-6.3 and of cause the a6600. 😊

[DjimmyTrovy]

2:37-2:40 That's an Oscar right there.

[CHLBUTTERWORTH]

The 6L Sling bag will also fit all 3 lenses plus a small battery bank/mic and small tripod. Plus batteries. I don't have the 11mm, but I have the Sigma 56mm
