Which should you buy?
Street, Environmental Portraits & Low Light — XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR (2015): One of the finest lenses in the X-mount system — fast, sharp, weather-sealed and beautifully characterful.
Content Creation & Vlogging — A6400 (2019): The best value APS-C Sony you can buy — especially used. Real-time Eye AF at this price point was transformative when it launched and still makes it one of the most reliable autofocus systems in the lineup.
