Thought I would check with fellow Hoggers to see if anyone has any lenses they would like to sell before going to Ebay & such.

I am looking for Macro lens, a wide angle lens for sure & possibly a longer zoom lens. I know it needs to be an a-mount, I know I can use some Minolta lenses.

I have an a77 that I purchased in Dec of 2012. I have been using a 55-300mm Sony lens. (the only lens I have). I am very comfortable with my camera. I like the feel of it & do not plan to get rid of it or trade up in the near future - of course when that day comes, I will get another Sony. Love them! & all my lenses will work with my new Sony ;)

Thanks for your time.

I own a veritable arsenal of newer Sony & third-party lenses and vintage Minolta glass. I'm not sure exactly, but I have at least two dozen lenses in all. My go-to source for most of my Sony & Minolta lens info is www.dyxum.com.

The Sony 18-135 that another recommended is indeed an excellent lens, and it was my walk-around, but it doesn't quite have the reach I wanted, even on a crop. I went up the to Sigma 18-250 macro and I'm much happier. It has excellent IQ for a lens with that range, surprising me at times. This would be my primary recommendation, and be sure of the macro model which is reported to outperform the non-macro model and even other lenses with a similar range.

I'll second the www.dyxum.com reference. It is my go-to-source as well. The lens section is unparalleled.

What kind of specialty shooting, if any, do you plan to do? For example, portrait, nightscape, true macro, sports, etc. All of my lenses are designed to serve a specific purpose, whether being general purpose (like the 18-135mm and the 18-250mm), sports/wildlife (Sony 70-400mm G), landscape (Tokina 11-16mm f2.8) or nightscape (Rokinon 24mm f1.4), and so on.
