What are you trying to do with your next lens. The ones you mentioned are prime lens. I have the 85 f/1.8 for portraits and it is the best!!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are looking for lightweight and compact, the answer is probably not three prime lenses. The answer partly depends on which Sony camera you have. The Sony A 7 and A 9 series have a very high ISO and you can buy the f4 24-70 or f4 24-105 zoom lenses which are cheaper and lighter than the f 2.8 lens that you have. the 24-70 lenses, f 4 or f 2.8 lenses will cover the range that you don't have in the lens you already own. If you want to travel with one lens, I recommend the f 4 24-105. Sony makes a 24-240 lens. I own this lens and cannot recommend it. It is too slow, has poor autofocus and is not all that sharp. I wish I could return it but have had it too long. There is nothing wrong with prime lenses and at any given focal length, you will get better performance. Since you are looking for the best answer for cost and weight, the f 4 24-105 is a great choice.If you crop photos taken with the 24-105, you will get better results than the 24-240 if you are using one of the full frame Sony cameras. You can look at third party lenses from Sigma or Tamron.
