I currently shoot with an old A77 and use a Sony 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 for 95+% of my shots. I love the versatility of that lens. I shoot almost exclusively landscape and nature stills. I rarely shoot video but might like to dabble in it once I upgrade. I have decided to go with the A7iv and have lots of questions, mostly about compatibility of aftermarket lenses to full frame. I have been saving for years and have a fixed budget to get the A7iv with a couple of lenses and all of the required accessories. I would like to get the Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM, but between that and the camera body it will use most of my budget, hence the need for a less expensive after-market lens. I'll need a wide-angle zoom, preferably in the same approximate range as my current 18-135mm. I look forward to hearing from all of you with practical experience to share!
