I mentioned yesterday how impressed I am that you can get a Sony A6000, successor to the NEX-7, for only $448 from B&H Photo or from Amazon.com. Really, this might be the biggest bargain out there in a new digital camera right at this minute.
28-45-90 is a very classical focal-length set, not quite the current fashion but very usable.
And while these lenses are not glamorous at all, they're extremely good. I have the 60mm DN for my NEX-6, and it's a very odd lens. The focus is magnetic, so when the camera's turned off the optical cell slides back and forth inside the lens with a klunk-klunk—really questionable where perception is concerned, given Sigma's former reputation for iffy quality! But it works fine, and it's small and light, and it's a superlative portrait lens, with a clear but gentle look and superb bokeh.
The lenses, like the camera, are available in silver, although I can't say how well the silver finish of the camera matches the silver finish of the lenses.
If you can avoid metaphysical doubt about greener grass on the other side of fences and so forth, really, is there a single better bargain in all of cameradom, for a new, current camera with very high image quality?
I'm not sure there is, at this moment.
