There aren’t a lot of budget lens options for Sony’s full-frame mirrorless models. On one hand, they deserve excellent lenses. But on the other, if you’re buying the oldest (but still great) A7 mirrorless model for $800 or even the next-generation A7 II for a few hundred more, you don’t necessarily want to spend $1,500 for the next-cheapest option, the Sigma …
