trying to find a good lens for sony e-mount

I use a Sony a6500 with a 18-105 f/4 lens , I love my lens but it's not fast enough so i am looking for fast lenses. Any thoughts?

PCs: Dell XPS 15 9560 and Asus ROG GR6

are you looking for a prime or a zoom and what sort of focal ranges? I would probably look for a 50 1.8 and 35 1.8

What focal lengths? 

 

There is only one option for a 1.4 in that price range and that is the Sigma 30 1.4 which I would recommend. 

 

Then I'd look at these ones: 

  • FE 50 f/1.8
  • 35 f/1.8
  • FE 28 f/2
  • FE 85 f/1.8 
  • Zeiss FE 55 f/1.8 (everyone loves this lens so damn much) 
  • Samyang 12 f/2 (manual focus)
  • Zeiss Touit 12 f/2.8 

I'd not reccomend the APS-C 50 1.8 as it is not much cheaper and the FF version makes so you can easily upgrade to a FF body and still use it or use it on two bodies if you own both an aps-c and a ff body. I'd also bet that it is slightly sharper. 

 

If you are willing to go used look at the 35 and 50 1.4 lenses. They are quite large though.
